Where’s Fireball. This column has been wondering about Fireball Carver of East Roxboro. We have had no recent reports from the East Roxboro team and have wondered if the team is in active competition. Reports indicate that Carver is one of the best hurlers around here and we are at a loss to know why no reports are being received from the team. This column wants all games reported and will appre ciate any and all efforts in that direction. o— o—O —0 More New Golfers Each week seems to find a few more newcomers to the Roxboro golf course. The boys are getting into the swing of j the thing and each new golfer seems to bring a friend who has never played. All of this helps because the more golfers we have the better off the club will be financially. Not as many ladies are playing golf as should play. This game is designed for both men and women and there is no good reason why more ladies are not taking up the ancient and honorable game. o— o—o —0 Court Is Completed Remodeling work on the tennis court at Ca-Vel is almost completed and the court is in good shape. The Ca-Vel boys can now play tennis in the morning, early, and golf in the afternoon. They will have to sandwich in softball between times. o—o—o—o Shorts - Dots - Dashes F. 0.

Dog members of Rear Admiral Byrd’s Antarctic expedition were given the utmost care and attention. This section of the East Base camp pictured above was called "Dog Town” by members of the expedition. Each dog had an Individual hnt supplied to him for the duration of his stay which was made snug and comfort able against the Antarctic weather. The Eskimo dogs were specially trained for hauling sledges and were re garded as extremely important members of the party. Antarctic birds may be seen in the background. M’Fadden Given Support For Job On Star Eleven Chicago, July 18 Seven nat ionally known coaches, casting ballots in the nation-wide poll to I select a starting college line-up for the Chicago All-Star game a gainst the Green Bay Packers on August 29, voted unanimously to day for Harry Smith, Southern California’s great guard, and Nile Kinnick, lowa’s 60-minute triple threat half back.. Banks McFadden, the gangling one-man backfield from Clem son, was named on six of the sev en ballots and Bill Kerr, Notre Dame end, was selected on five. Bo McMillan of Indiana, who coached the All-Stars to a 28 to 16 victory over the Washington Red skins in the 1938 game, nominat. ed Kinnick and McFadden as his choices for the starting half back positions and placed Smith at guard with Frank Bykowski, Pur due’s most valuable player last year. Lou Little, veteran Columbia coach, who was a member of the All-tSar coaching staff in 1933 when the collegians and Detriot Lions played a 7 to 7 tie, votes with the rest of the experts on the halfbacks, naming Kinnick and McFadden. Three eastern players, Dom Principe, Fordham fullback, Harry Stella, Army captain and tackle, and Jim Turner, Holy Cross guard, receive places on Little’s proposed starting align ment. Bemie Moore of Louisiana State, another coach who has first hand knowledge of what it takes in the All-Star game from his as signment as an assistant coach in 1937, put two southerners, Nix and McFadden, in his backfield to team with Kinnick and Granville Lansdell, Southern California quarterback. Jimmy Phelan, another former All-Star assistanot coach from the University of Washington, no minates Kerr, Smith, Kinnick and McFadden and places Bob Hoff man, Southern California back, on Ms squad to cover Don Hutson, the Packers’ record-holding pass receiver. A canvass of the football play ers in this year’s senior class re vealed no one in the opinion of Buck Shaw, Santa Clara coach, (better qualified to start the All- Star game at the guard and half back than Smith and Kinnick. The former Notre Dame star also likes Kerr and McFadden and his I own center, Schiechl. Marble Champion Defeating all ether contestants in the National Marble tournament, Donglas Opperman of Pittsburgh, Pa., waa crowned Marble Champion sf America at the New York World’s fair. Ho won a gold-plated crown and 92M In oash. Jenkins To Have Another Chance New York, July 19 The State Athletic commission cleared the way today for Henry Armstrong and Lew Jenkins to get paid for their Wednesday night fight, and Promoter Mike acobs immediate ly announced plans for a return match between the two in Madi son Square Garden on September 27. The commission, which yester day held up the fighters’ purse without giving any reason, today cleared up the “mystery” and then soothed its ruffled dignity by pin ning a 60-day suspension on Ed die Mead, Armstrong’s manager, for an unimportant row over hand bandages a few minutes before Wednesday’s bout started. S 1 o Former Bethel Hill High Star Going Strong' Robert Pugh, who is pitching for Transport, in Atlanta, Ga„ and formerly of the Bethel Hill high school pitching staff, went against Atlantic State recently and struck out 12 men, allowing only two safeties. Pugh now has a batting aver age of .480, and during the sea son has struck out 75 men, Milk ed only eight. Out of 16 starts this year, he has won ten and lost six. Terry’s Boys Believe In Early Run-Scoring Few baseball experts gave the Giants a tumble this year, but the Giants are up there fighting with the top flight. A lot of reasons are being giv en for the Giants show of strength. And here is a little fea ture that may have been over looked: the Giants are the best first-inning club in the big lea gues this year. The Giants don’t do any feeling out, nor do the giants wait for any breaks. The Giants come out of the cor. ner swinging, and often before the opposition is on its toes, the Giants are off to a lead that ev entually means the ball game. It is a bit of strategy worked out by Mangaer Bill Terry. A lot of experts don’t like Bill Terry and seize every opportunity to malign him, but others feel that he should have his due. o Grimm Willing To Help Cubs Chicago, July 19 Charley Grimm, former first baseman and manager of the Cubs, offered to come to the aid of the club today. Grimm’s offer (he said he was serious) came when the Cubs found themselves without a first baseman. An examination of Phil Cavarretta’s injured right foot revealed he had suffered a frac ture and will be out of the line up indefinitely. Glen Russell is recovering from a recent appendectomy. Hank Leiber, an outfielder, took over the position. “I know I can be of help,” said 39-year-old Grimm who has been a radio commentator since the 1939 season started. “I can play first base until the Cubs get some other fellow and am physi cally fit since I have been work ing out with the White Sox when they are at home.” WE BUILD FOR Roxboro and Person County With All Work Guaranteed.
