21, 1941 THf HIGH POINT PM OKT NT INDUSTRY HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA PACK SEVEN Trucks, Pollett Head Bright Pitching Prospects In Minors Cards Have Young Hurlers Of Ail Types BY HARRY GRAVSOX NBA Service Sports Editor There's no telling what some major league managers wouldn't give for a couple more pitchers who could see the first and ninth innings of the same game from the pitchers box, not ringside pew. But it is not because the minors haven't a full supply of young Iiurlers of promise. Seldom has there been more talented elbowing prospects toiling in Double A and A leagues. It's just that the stars of the future either are not in the chains of the clubs that sadly need their services or that they require a bit Wore seasoning. The St.

Louis Cardinals are well fixed as usual. The average big league club is fortunate to have one good kid pitcher in camp in the spring. The Red Birds have five when- the current campaign Krlst, Ernie White, Sam Nahem. Hank Gornicki and Johnny Grodzicki. Gormcki and Grodzicki were returned to Rochester and Columbus, respectively, the (ormer as a', reward for pitching a one-hii- er against the Phillies in his one National League start.

While Virgil Oliver a 22-year-old. 195 pound right- iande'r belonging to Detroit, generally is regarded as (he biggest prize in the minors at the moment, the Cardinals have a strong candidate for that honor in Howard Pollett, Houston southpaw. 'Fire Trucks struck out 14 for Buffalo in 148 innings. Pollett won 20 for the Buffs in 1940 and the last time 1 looked he had 11 this trip against two defeats. He pitched for the South in the 2-0 shutout of the North in the Texas League's all-star game.

MAJOR LEAGUER 8URKONT FAST AS FELLER Billy Southworth, manager of Jhs Red Birds, says Fred Martin, who has bagged 14 for Houston, xvould help most major league club.s but he expects to be inducted into army in.a month. The Cardinals have an efficient pair with New Orleans in Al Jurisich and Johnny Beazley. Big Al Hollingsworth's arm sealed on the coast and he is assisting Fred Munger in pitching "Sacramento to a pennant. The Red Birds' Rochester subsidiary has Herschel Lyons, who nas a variety of stuff, and 19- Max Surkont. who op- snents contend is as swift as Job Feller.

The Columbus store rias Murray Dickson and another or two who easily might be in the big show if they were not property of the St. Louis Na- lionais. Sleepy English Village Absorbing i Impact Of War; Vast Changes Seen As Aftermath Of Present Conflict Operator Of Village Store In Sutton, Sussex, Believes England Will Submit Political Leadership In World To U. S. When Firing Ceases In Present Conflict By DREW MIDDLETON SUTTON, of The Enterprise Special News changeless as it sleeps in the Summer sun, this village has felt the impact of the mighty forces and heard the strident voices of a world at war.

Outwardly Sutlon is unchanged. There are the vine covered cottages and the ripe lush fields beyond. The ribbon of road still meanders out of the fields, through the cluster of houses and over the hill toward London. The old church stands weaiherbeaten at the end of the village. There are ftowcz'S at the foot of the memorial to those Who fought- and fell in what the villagers call "the first German war." TALK ABOL'T BOBS There are no craters in the village.

But last winter at night you could hear the drone of German be 'ibers heading for London. One Like the Cardinals, the Yankees slep out and gel 'em. The New Yorks have so many competent chuck'ers their Newark branch that the lional League race is strictly no contest. There's Jack Lindell, Allan Gettel. Hank Borowy, George U'ashburn.

Russ Christopher and TommyJByrnes. The first four had trials with the Yankees in the spring. Christopher is a right-hander standing six feel three. He has won 1O and lost A. Byrnes is the Forest' College left-hander whom Ed Barrow paid welt to sign.

HEAD IS RATED NEXT TO WVATT AND HIGBE Some members of the Brooklyn organization consider Ed Head of Montreal a better pitcher than any member of the Dodger staff except- Whitlow Wyatl and Kirby Higbe. In Chet Kehn of the Royals. Flatbush has a right-hander of the Tommy Bridges type. The White Sox recently purchased Stanley Foletz, a strapping left-hander "who attracted attention with Oklahoma City. The Re.v Sox staff bucked up with (he recall of Tex Hughson from Louisville.

Freddie Hutchinso nagain has the slickest record in the minors with Buffalo, but it has been demonstrated that the Seattle lad is not fast enough to pitch in the majors. Hal White, another Detroit hopeful with the Bisons, may suffer front the same Ken Burkhart of Syracuse achieved his second straight shutout by halting a Newark winning streak at seven the other night. Rochester was the young right- hander's previous victim. The Giants are banking on Harry Feldman of Jersey City. The Cubs think highly of Hugh East of the sayne outfit.

Russell Mecrs, young Nashville southpaw, fanned 95 in 113 innings, but walked 100. Ace Adams, now with the Giants, ied the Southern Association with 122 strikeouts last season. Meers will crash the majors when he acquires control. This thing could go on and on. The point, is that the pitchers appear to be doing something about catching up with the lively ball.

memorable night a bomber jettisoned its load over a village two miles away. People stil Halk about it. Off to. the east "The Hall" sleeps among its oaks. Old Major Jordan is off to the wars, somewhere in Egypt.

His wife runs a food center in Stepney. Young Nigel, their only son, was. killed in Flanders The hall has been empty since last Christmas and this spring they plowed up the flat green behind the old house and sowed wheat. There are others beside Nigel who will not return. Twenty-six young men from the village have gone to war.

That's something: you notice. There aren't any young men around. Six of them will never come not many is it, soar? Not until you remember that in Sutton everyone knows everyone else, that each villager takes each loss as a personal tragedy. Sam Bowles, fpr instance. Sam was crazy aboul uactors and such.

Made his father buy one when everyone else still used horses. Sam won the military medal in Cyrenaica last December. But he died in Greece. Johnny Moore was another. Ho died at Arras trying to bring his captain's body back to the lines.

ALL OVER THE GLOBE The rest are scattered all over the globe, wherever Britain fights. The big atlas in the rector's studj is pawed by farmers trying to piace their dead Jack or Jamie in a world which has always been on another planet to Sutton. They are undemonstrative folk They come in with the letter from the war office, winch means death, in their big hands. They look at the orange of Libya thai bounds the yellow of Egypt on the map r.ncl try to see it it was: the hot the chatter of machine guns, the palms in the distance. Then they go out into the quiet of the English village.

In some ways the war has not touched them. Rationing is not bad, fpr mcat was a delicacy always in Sutton and there are plenty of pigs and chickens in the farmyards. Nor does the blackout worry them. They go to bed early in Sutton. These nights Ihe farmers don'l gather in "The White Hart" for a pint of bitter, pipe and a talk the way they used to.

Albert Edward Vile, who runs the Hart, had to shut it down 'five days a week He couldn't get as much beer as formerly and there was no whiskj drunk at current prices. "Besides, people stay home more o' nights what with the bad news and said Albert But on Saturdays and Sundays most of the old crowd gathers. ODD SIGHT It is always an odd sight to an rich farmers, the keeper of the largest store, fh doctor "drinking beer and throwing darts with farm hands and a griz profane and very genial ok poacher. The rich farmer is James Far ris, whose acres run from the church to the edge of Ihe forest where kings of England once hunted stags, a farm tilled by his forefather since Stuarts reigned at Westminister. He has a considerable slake in this war, a son in the Grenadier Guards, a daughter in the women's auxiliary air force.

He is a precise, slow speaker. "I'll not deny- wanted peace up until May, 1940. I couldn't see how any war could be won with such puling lunatics as leaders. No son of mine should die for the Bank of England. But things are a little better in me mind now.

We've got Churchill, but that's not what convinced me. It's what the Germans have done. "D'ye think any decent man FARMERS TO HOLD MEETINGS TO DISCUSS DEFENSE ROLES RALEIGH. July 21. Four late Deaths to The Enterpfise) I LEE KANOY THOMASVILLC, Oinr 21.

We must win." George Barnet, who runs the only store, is a thoughtful person.

His.opinions are bounded by no limitations of space or time. He is close In thought habits to the cracker philosopher of the American small town. He has one has traveled extensively. In the last war he was at Gallipoli, was wounded in the break-through of 1918, and spent four years after the war in India. When he speaks of "ihe hell where youth and laughter go" he speaks from greater experience than a couple of months in a training camp.

OF REVOLUTION' "All wars are evil, this one doubly so because it contains the seeds of world revolution, call it Communist or Fascist or whatever you wish," he said. Barnet is self-educated. The walls of his room are lined with the classics, books of political science and strategy. He had been reading Tom Paine's "The Rights of Man" when I entered. "I'm just an ordinary fellow but you get a good bit of time to read and sit and think in sutton.

It's a good of life. Perhaps we're 40 years behind the times. But did you ever think that a people that has run a good section of the world for 150 years might a bit tire'J of the job?" "You know jhere's only one choice for us." he continued. "Slavery under the Germans or economic and political vassalage under the United States. 1 guess I'm a liberal.

He doesn't think it's necessary." On the. wall of the little room was a picture of Queen Victoria. The frame was decorated with the gilded flags of her dominions and colonies. In the gathering dusk it was redolent of an era of imperial might. WON'T t'OMK BACK "Yes, those were great- days, 1 said Barnet.

"But I doubt if they can back. Jf they did. would we accept them, the inequalities, the desperate- poverty, ihe stupidity, all those things that we never talked about or worried became we 'ere England? "We can never go back. The I rouble is we hav lived on those memories, so long we have forgotten 10 go forward." As 1 walked down the street, toward Ihe rectory, old William fcrs caught up with me. William is 87 but his back is still straight and his mustaches arc as a bit they were when he rode with the 17th Lancers in the Boer and World Wars, Old William is in ihe Home Guards now.

They tried to keep him out but he produced his old uniform and kept turning up at exorcises until he was accepted. His philosophy is that of the fighting man. "Ah, what's the talk of propaganda and such? The job is to kill Germans. I've seen 'em, I've seen 'em. I've watched men chopped down like blades of grass and I've seen 2,000 guns open a bombardment dawn.

Aye, afl that and we're still on top. BORN TO KIGHT "Man is born to Jight in battles. We have big arguments, 'the rector and me, although I've taken care of place these IS years Htncc the army retired me. Don't listen to him too close; hn's a kind man. but he's too far from this worid." 1 turned down the lane to the rectory isnd old William's last words drifted after me, "Mind what 1 say, man is born to fight like, any animal." The rector's wife greeted me.

The rector was out on a Home Guard exercise. "He collects all the thermos jugs he can and they exercise he goes out with hot ton and them," she said. "He can't stand war but lie can't stand seein 0 men go hungry either." The rector came-in looking very tired. He had a cup of tea and gave me a drink. We sat by the fire and he talked of the village, "his" village, has been there since he first came down from Oxford 41 years ago: "There's a curious feeling in the air.

A sort of stirring, an awakening to rnora! values. Money does not matter so because no one has much and when the war's over, no one thinks there's going to be any money. CLOSER TO GOD "People are going to church more. too. 1 guess they feel closci to God when the planes go over," 1 asked him what sort of Britain these people would demand after the war.

"If it lasts much longer, people won't demand anything, they'll just be satisfied with peace." he answered. "Then are fighting for may be Jost. "There's great talk of freedom of other in London. But down here these people are fighting to live their own lives exactly as they have for centuries. We lave relied on tradition and custom so long that resistance to change has become a tradition." He thought post-war England would be a kindlier place to live in.

"Democracy, economic as well as political, is coming'and that means the end of the old privileged classes and institutions in smiled hisf worn "But I doubt If L'ngland ever again. will wish to impose her power on all the world. Here we want peace and our own customs." He smiled. "Americans probably think we could root out this tradition that binds us, that makes us appear at times both grand and foolishj.t's ot possible. Come into the church, I'll show you why." Inside the church, it was musty with the smell of the entrance was an old stone tablet, its face covered with "Those names." said the rector, "are of the 29 bowmen who left this parish to fight at Agincourt in 1415.

There are 19 of those, names on the memorial 'to the dead in the first German war down the road. There are 18 of those names, among the 26 who wrnt out this lime. "No, we are too old. to change." When I left the village as night fell, the Home Guard exercise was well advanced. A line of men drifted across the field toward the church.

1 stopped my car at the head of the lane where the rector leaned on the gate smoking his pipe. He gestured at the men: "See, they may never conquer the world again, but they'll fight for what they have," he said.
