Shelby’s Champion May Not Defend His Crown This Spring Other Youngsters, However, Hope To Bring Pete Webb's frown Hack Here. Shelby's Rolf champion, Petr Webb, junior Carolina* title-holder, may not defend Ills crown at the annual tournament beginning June 3 on the Hedge fie Id course at Greensboro. However, four or five other boys. Including Pete's younger brother, "Snook." are practising daily with the hope of bringing the title back to Shelby, even if it means beating Pete on the link., In the last, year Pete, the young title-holder, developed ills game to such an extent that he could find very little worthwhile competition among Shelby golfers and a. month or two back he quit hi* Job as caddy at Cleveland Springs and went Into the feed business with his brothers. Giles and Charne. On week-ends, though, he has been keeping the clubs which won the title, last June in Greensboro, from getting rusty and he may yet deride to go down to Sedgefield and put up a fight (o retain his crown month after next as this is the last year he will be permitted to play in the tournament as the age limit Is 1(1 years. Other Shelby youngsters who arc planning to play in the Junior Carolinas are Pete's brother “Snook," who at 15 is one of Shelby's best golfers; and the two Reed brothers. Bob and Jim, both of whom will give young golfers at Sedgefield a tough fight, and “Dub' Wall. HTitle Game Of Baseball Today (Continued from page onc.I best asset of the team, hitting. So far Cline Owens Lee, team captain, is the only one of the veterans to measure up in his hitting, Gold, Bridges, Harrelson and others tail ing to bang out the horschide ns was anticipated. In the hurling de partment Coach Morris lias a string saff in Hamrick, “Lefty" Moore, Queen, Poston, and young Dayber ry. Hamrick is perhaps the leading twirler In actual pitching ability but Moore's uncanny knack of pitching runners of the base paths and ills baffling change of pace cause him to rank on about a fifty-fifty basis with Hamrick. Eith er hurler seems capable of stopping any high school hitting assemblage In the state if given only lair field ing and enough base hits to check In a few runs. The Cliffside team playing here today is considered one oi the strongest foes to be laced during the western series and Coach Mor ris may send Hamrick and his speed ball to the mound in Jus battle to move on in the title light. Mean time every youngster on the squad is determined to pile up enough hits to win hoodoo, or no hoodoo.

Wo hard tv km a what to do. hut knew that v.e had to do something. Tin ganc boss that we had been working tor refused to give u, a pass .ind it was so tint, un til we could Mand it no loneer We just. Had to leave, that' place, even it we did. have to walk n> get some where ‘else. We were at ttie rail road .station wading for the after noon train to mo it wo could talk the conductor into letting us ride when Our friend the "Doe eame up and bought a through ticket, in I.l Paso. 1 Doc" was the vegetarian of the town I asked hnn it he would cheek my trunk on tils ticket and let me get it when I got to El Paso. That was <> K with him. So that was one big worry off out' minds. The train eame in and we didn't know the conductor at all and that was another thing oil our minds. We walked toward the highway leading to Douglas,. Arizona, about one hundred fifty tulles away, and another railroad center We had a suit-case each and alter we had walked for about ten miles that was the. heaviest suitcase. I have ever carried. However, we kept trying to flag each passing motorist and the farther out into the desert we got. the I ewer the pussersby be jeaine. Finally, night came on, no tow n m sight aw ay out in t he mid dle of the desert and it began to rain and how it rained And the wind began to blow Pretty soon It stopped taming altogether and a sand storm came up. All we could do was to get behind a la'v.e sign board on the road and let. the storm rage on We stayed them alt night and slept very tittle Morning came because It was daylight and we started out again, still beaded for Douglas, and doing everything we could to get a ride. We found out later that the rea son the folks were .suspicious of us was because It was so close to the Mexican border until they were afraid we might, hold than up and escape across the border. Of course, no such thought had entered our heads. About ten-thirty one of those big cross country busses came along and passed us making about fifty miles per hour and It had no sooner passed but of sight until we heard a loud report ns If a gun had been fired. We ran on ahead and found the driver pursing the luck because of a blow out. on one of the rear tires. We did what we could to assist him and lie gave us a lift to Bisboc. Arizona Bisbce. is known as the city a mile high because it is over 6,000 feet above sea level. The town it self is built along the side of the mountain and ii they ever had a (food there the town would easily be washed off the map. walking out ot Hindoo, vvo easuy got another ride into Douglas and when 1 entered the town I saw a sailor in uniform walking down the street. His luce looked fiimiiiat arid I asked trim where we had met be fore After a few minutes conver sation t learned that we had been iai the same ship ogether in Chinese waters, 1 told liim where I was headed for and he w as gracious enough to take us across the bor der into Aqua Prieto. Mexico and buy the drinks. He also set us up to the eats arid a bed tor the night and next morning we started for ttie railroad yards to try for a freight to El Paso. Jerry decided to chance his luck on the high was and prom - ised to wait lor me tit El Paso if lie got there first, f got a freight train out of iliere at 10 ;to a m with three hundred seventy one miles to go. One main division point to go through and we were all right. The brakeman came along and ordered me off the train but when 1 showed him my "salary check” pavable in El Paso, lie took me to an empty refrigerator, car and locked the door, promising to open it as soon us we got into E! Paso, which he did 1 went sit once to the hotel and found Jerry fast asleep. Checks were cashed next morn ing and ve decided that a beer or two would go good so we went to ; Jiiare.-. Mexico. 'just around the j conic;- trotn El Paso, and one beer led t ' another and about 7:30 that evniing we had just about what I we started with- -and oil what a ! head' We pooled our .'finances and murid-' I luu w e ivid exactly enough ! oioncv to id back to El Paso on and would p'uriak!: lev a very pood breakfast bin. at let that well -ri would be nr tie of starve. Next momma we walked to the highway leading toward Fort Worth., .Texas. 8il miles away, and to till you-the truth about it, we didn't 'knew exactly v i a’ we would, t encotm.: r on the way there. We 'did net knew Whether wo would get tl-. i c or '.not --t r i; we ririeht starve to death on the- road, but j nevertheless, v.e set ort headed I fer Shelby N ,C , 'a-lent; v, a> to go. To make it, easier.'.to get a ride, ive , rpuraled and agreed to inert m Fort Worth in the railway .sta tion (never knowing that there «ere three .stations). We flipped a coin to .see which of uw should go j on ahead and Jerry won, which i usvr him ttic privilege of getting the first, ride. When you're near the Mexicali border in Texas or in Arizona as I mentioned before, with so litany ruffians.: and bandits about it Is a | real problem to get a ride with any- | one. Everyone was afraid of you. even: though you did present a "aiee" appearance, as I tried to do. I tried everything from developing a limp to taking a .sign on my suit ra.se which read ‘'doing East—are you?" But to no advantage. They would continually pass me by. A gentleman in a Ford coupe was go ing about H miles on my route and invited me to go along with him I did and very glad of the chance. He asked several questions on the way and when he learned that. I was “broke, hungry and headed for home" he helped me along by a .square meal and a kind word. The meal was greatly appreciated. When hr stopped at home, it, was almost night. twenty-three miles front the Mexican border, no money no place to sleep, and very few travelers about. I went to several places Inquiring if 1 might be per mitted to spend the night. even If It. was in the barn or bay stack but the answer was always the same. NO! .Still suspicious, I guess. Not to be daunted, I crawled into an empty box car on the siding and took my blanket from the suit ease, spread it out and went to sleep. Sometime In the morning. I don't know when. I was rudely awakened by what 1 took to be a cyclone that struck the end of that box car, For a lew minutes T . could not imagine what it was until I looked out of the door and saw that we were moving behind a long string of cars, 1 had absolutely no sense of di rection but thought, we were still going '‘East" and went back to sleep. When I awoke next morning. I got out of the car in a very large railroad yard and imagine my con sternation when 1 learned that I was bark in FI Paso again! Well. 1 started out all over again, and tills time 1 was careful to pick out a good place to sleep. One ride after another tlie first day, none of them amounting to very much, un til Just about night, when a Pack ard straight right stopped at the filling station where l was waiting. He inquired the road to Wink, Texas, and I. not knowing which di rection W'ink was, asked him If I might go along He looked- me over, engaged me in conversation about myself and after satisfying himself that I was O. K, he asked U I could drive. I replied in the affirmative and got behind the wheel. He had been driving fee- about four hun dred miles that day and was very tired. He ulso told me that Wink was on my road, three hundred thirty-three miles away. Gee. but that sounded good. I drove all night long while he slept in the rear seat. We arrived in Wink about daylight and he bought breakfast for the two of us. He also paid for a shave for my self, 1 put on my "other suit" and tried to look my best. He had told me that a good appearance would help me much more than a good line of talk but it would be better to have both. Wink was an oil town on the boom, just eighteen miles north of Pyotr. Texas. If you have never seen an ml town on the boom you cannot imagine how it is. Every thine Is sky mgiv. temporal.v sharks thrown up everywhere; men ill oily Clothes strolling about with cigars in their mouths as though they were lhilUonnaive;men in long old fashioned frock mats, high top hats, etc Just an exact replica ot old frontier day towns that you have seen in the movies. It was a thrill to me to-look upon a real sight such as this. It is something worth rememberin': I got/ a job in Wink, "slinging hash" in a one lung restaurant. I say "one lung" because it just bare ly existed. One day there with four squares thrown into my stomach and I was ready for the open road again. I told the boss he didn't owe me anything for the work, that 1 just wanted something good to eat lor a change. He agreed with me that I had eaten my share and I left Wink, still heading for Fort Worth. All morning I tried so hard to get a ride, but it seemed as if every one was going too fast or in the wrong direction. I walked all day long without even a loot on a run ning board Then I got. a bright Kl’Sl Tlie next town 1 came into, I went to tiie leading hotel, washed up a bit and asked the clerk if anyone was checking out heading east. He told me Rbout a certain gentleman nr .1 introduced us I told him the circumstances, offered my Cali fornia driver's permit as identifi cation: lie accepted it and gave me a hit t:> the next large town I tried the same thing over again and the only ones leaving that town v . re three young ladies in a Chryr_ Officers Of Senior B.
