FIVA TEN CANTS CENTE Carolina Defeats State; Cols, Bucs and Pointers Sweep Bills ELLISON HEAVES HEELS TO 6 TO 2 WIN OVER STATE Champions Climax Season With First Win Over State Since 1923 HEELS ROUT ALLGOOD IN EARLY STANZAS TO WIN Beal Holds Visitors Safely After Relieving Allgood In Third; But Two Techs Get To Third and Both Tally; Jonas and Young Lead Heels In Hitting By A. J. McKEVLIN The State championship already tucked away in their bat bags, the Tar Heels of Carolina yesterday afternoon 011 Riddick Field added further glory to their season's record by defeating the Technicians of State College, 6.

to 2, to register the first Carolina victory over the West Raleigh nine since 1923. The defeat was the first experienced at the hands of Carolina by a Doak-coached Tech team in the four years of varsity and two years of freshman coaching at State by Chick Doak. Carolina's victory came from bunched hits in early innings off Aligood and the victory was made certain by Red Ellison, who held the Techmen in check throughout. Ellison Bosses Techs. Ellison, a Craven county product, gave up but seven hits and but one of the two Tech was earned.

He fanned seven Doakmen tallies, and was boss all the way. But two Techmen got as far as third base during the entire encounter, and these tallied. "Carolina tucked the victory away in the opening trio of innings. With two out in the first. Tom Young singled to left, stole second and counted on Mackie's hit over second.

In the next frame Hatley opened with a double, moved up on Satterfield's infield out and counted on Jonas' hit down first. Ellison singled to left but Allgood fanned Tom Coxe for the second time and Havener lifted to short. Win In Third. Carolina's winning tallies were shoved over in the Heels' big inning, the third. After Young had lined out to Matheson, Mackie singled to left and stole second.

Matheson toyed with Sharpe's roller and the Heel catcher was safe at first. Hatley's single to center tallied Mackie and put Sharp on third, at the same time sending Allgood to the showers. Satterfield went out to short but Hatley stole second and Jonas converted one of Beal's offerings into a high over second which fell for a single to count two runs. Ellison fanned to end the inning. Beal Masters Champs.

Beal had the best of the Tar Heels during the remainder of the contest, the Tech captain allowing but four other hits. In the fourth Young and Mackie singled with two out but Regan took Sharpe's fly. Jonas' double in the fifth and Young's two-ply swat in the sixth were the only other hits collected by the Heels. Young's blow, however, helped to tally the final Heel run. With one out, Havener swung at wild pitch for third strike and was as safe at first.

Young's double put him on third and he scored on Mackie's roller to Outen. The only other senblance of a Heel hit came in the eighth when Finlator rapped between third and short but Austin made a nice play on the ball to get the runner. The Technicians were kept more than in by Ellison in early innings. In the first Outen singled and went to second with two out, but there he died. Regan opened the second with a hit, but was forced at second by Harrill.

Ellison picked Harrill off first, but Hovis was safe on Havener's bad throw of his roller. He stole second but Young took Austin's roller and tossed to Ellison to get Rat. Techs Score In. Fifth. It was not until the fifth that the Technicians got another runner.

to. second. Hovis opened with a single to left, Austin was hit by a pitched ball. After Beal had fanned, Kendall forced Austin at second. Coxe did some nice running to get under McDowall's drive back of short but dropped the ball and Hovis tallied the first Tech counter.

Again Ellison became boss and it was the eighth before another Doakman reached the middle station With one out Kidd garnered an infield hit and Outen singled him to second. Matheson forced Outen at second, but Regan singled to left to tally Kidd. The Techs went out in order thereafter although Coach Doak sent in a pair of pinch-hitters in the ninth. Dedmon, the second pinch batter, fanned to end the game. The Leaders.

Satterfield, Heel shortstop, played a nice game afield. He handled seven chances in good style, was middle man in the only double play of the contest, and in the fifth took a hit from Kendall by making a nice play on his rap to short. Tom Young fielded well about first, hauling in throws by his mates and showing up especially well on ground balls. Jonas, the Heels' diminutive second-sacker, drove in half of lina's runs, while Mackie batted in 2 of the counters and Hatley one. 00 000 000 000 0 000 000 000 "OLD RELIABLE'S" SPORT MARCH MUSIC BY PETE, LYRICS BY MAC 1 TAINT NO DID A PLACE FOR JUDGE LANDIS, HOT BABY CZAR OF BASE BALL, 0000 606 WILL BE Home a Co Watt WITH US FRI4 POINTERS CHUZDAY- VISTIODY TUES RM CAPS 4-2 HE WILL COLS 12-0 516 ATTEND THE CAP- BULL COME CAME HERE WEST, NOT 50 SON ASHEVILLE SCHOOL GOOD WINS PREP MEET AT HILL TRUCKERS 515 BUGS LEAGUE 10 2 W-5(6) TAKES STATE HIGH TITLE FROM WILSON (2) DU 424 RE az LICKS NC5(2) PIEDMONT SALS EAGLES 3 BRONCS 6 FOR 1923 TIME UNC FIRST SINCE (6) AN we he WOLF BING MILLER TO FORE IN MAJORS Brown Outfielder Boosts Swat Mark To .446 To Take American Lead Chicago, May batting sensation of the week in the major leagues is Bing Miller, of the St.

TAR HEEL LEAGUE TO BE CONTINUED Henderson Ready For Re-organization of Eastern SemiPro Circuit Henderson, May will have baseball again this year by becoming a part of the reorganizad Tar Heel League, which operated in this section last season, according to an announcement today by Eddie Winston, former professional player, who managed the local team last year which gave fans some of the best baseball they had had in five years, and stuck with Enfield to the end of the season. Winston said today it had been definitely decided that Henderson and Enfield would be members of the organization, and that indications now are that Oxford, Roanoke Rapids, Weldon and Ahoskie will be the other towns participating. Plans are for the season to begin 800n after June 1 and to run for two or three As soon as the other four towns have decided upon their action, meeting will be called me central point, when An organization will be formed, officers elected and 8 playing schedule worked out. A new plan of financing the organization has been suggested, which is expected to make it easier for all clubs to operate. Henderson's Prospects.

A tentative team has been worked out for Henderson already, and includes some of the best known players in this section. Ed Powell and William Branch are slated for catchers, with Bill Holding, of Wake Forest, as first baseman; Hale, second baseman; Branch, shortstop; Alex Cheek or Charlie Thomas, third base; Flecher Langley, right field; Eddie Winston, centerfield; Timberlake, left field, and a pitching staff composed of Mavis, Spain, Clyde and Andrew Finch, Palmer, and with Scrubbie Loughlin dividing his time between the pitcher's box and an outfield, position. It believed that a winning team can be built up with these men, and fans are anxiously awaiting some definite announcement of the formation of the league ganization. honors for the leaders, but broke even with a double and two singles each. Mackie collected three singles.

Coxe, the big noise in Carolina's recent victories, was well checked by the Tech hurlers, fanning twice and fouling to the catcher once. On his third trip up, however, he was robbed of an extra blow when Kendall went back to the left field stands to spear his drive with one hand. Regan's hitting and work in the outfield featured for State, while Outen tied him for batting honors with a pair of singles. State's defensive play was improved over previous home contests. Sharpe, Carolina backstop, worked out a nice game behind the plate.

He kept Ellison working smoothly, while his backstopping helped to keep Ellison'3 tendency toward wildness in early innings from proving costly. All Over Now. Allgood, who depends mainly on his sinker to master opposition battlers, proved easy meat for the champions and their seven safe blows in 2 1-3 innings sent him back to the bench. Beal's work gave fans a chance to speculate on the outcome of the game had he started, but it's all over now, Young and Jonas vied for hitting WHAT GOES UP, ETC. First Game.

The work schedule in the office of Graduate Manager Charles T. Woollen indicates completion of the large structure, which is to seat 24,000 persons, by November 1. There has been some talk that the V. M. I.

game, which comes three weeks before Thanksgiving, may be played in the stadium, but so far that is no more than a rumor. Fast Going Up. Already wooden forms show the outline of seats, and the pouring of concrete is about to begin. This point of progress has been reached on the north side of the field, and before many more days have passed a start wil be made on the forms on the south side. It is likely that the problem of a playing surface will be solved by the hauling in of turf.

At first it was planned to plant grass in time to get a good growth by November, but the great masses of rock unexpectedly encountered, prolonging the excavation job, threw the schedule out of gear, and so it looks as if the field will not be ready for seeding as soon as was anticipated. At last the rock on the stadium site seems to have come to an end, and whatever blasting is heard from now on will be for the purpose of shattering some of the loose boulderg that are lying about. The rock caused altogether, a delay of about six weeks in the excavation, but the schedule had provided enough margin for this not to spoil the plan for the Thanksgiving game. PENN CREW WINS. Cambridge, May 150-pound crew defeated the light crews Massachusetts Institute of Chnology and Harvard over the Henly distance, on the Charles river today.

Technology finished second, half a length behind the winner, and Harvard was a length behind Tech, The time was 7 minutes 40 seconds. Colonial Hurlers Baffle Wattmen and Cellarites Win, 4-2 and 12-0 LOCALS GET TWO MEASLY HITS IN SECOND GAME Double Defeat Puts Caps In Tie With Rocky Mount For 2nd Place, Three Games Behind League Leading Pointers; Butler's Bobbles Costly In First Game Bucs Trim Bulls Twice To Tie for Second Rung Goochmen Sweep Bargain, Bill and Jump From 4th To Second Perch CRUMPLER BOSSES BULLS AS BUCS WIN FIRST, 4-2 McGuire and Gufford Hold Bovines Safe In Nightcap and Teague's Single In 9th Sends Home 2-1 Victory; Smith and Walters Feature First Game Victory Mount, May Buccaneers played bang up baseball to take a doubleheader from the Durham Bulls this afternoon, winning the first encounter 4-2 and registering a win by a 2-1 margin in the final contest. The double win moved the Bucs to a tie with the Caps for second place. Harrell, who occupied the mound for the Bulls in the first tilt, had every thing his way until the eighth inning when the Goochmen broke loose and tallied four runs. Rasty Walters' double driving the first two to cover.

Crumpler worked out a nice game for the home club as the Bulls found him for but six hits. Two of these, a double and a triple, along with a pass, fell in the fourth inning and netted the visitors' only runs. Win Second in Ninth. The second game had to go the full nine innings before the Goochmen secured a victory over Page as the Bulls pushed across a marker in the seventh to tie the score at one all. A hit batsman, a sacrifice hit and Teague's single brought the winning marker, however, in the ninth.

Duck Smith and Walters topped the locals' hitting in the first frame while Jimmy Teague led the offensive in the second. Bull hits were especially scarce in the nightcap as MeGuire and Gufford, who took turns on the mound, allowed but the safeties in all. ATTENDANCE GOOD AT EAGLES' HOME GAMES Kinston, May small city is claiming the best baseball crowds in the Virginia League territory. The average attendance here so far this season has exceeded that at Richmond and Norfolk, club officials said today. Every visiting team here this season has returned home with money in the road seeretary's jeans, it was said.

Only on one day has a visiting club failed to draw more than the guarantee, and it rained that day. The Eagles have not made both ends meet so far this season only because they have not done as well on the road as on the home lot. With the training season and the trading in players, which caused the Kinston club to shell out large sums, out of the way and the attendance figures mounting as the season advances, they expect, to be on easy ground in a financial way before long. The "smallest Class city in the world" has a winning team at last, and gate receipts are increasing almost daily here. Kinston trailed Richmond and Norfolk but led the other towns in attendance the past two years.

With a population hardly a twentieth as large as either of them, the town will give the big cities in Virginia a run for first honors in gate receipts this year, local folks believe. YALE WINS JUNIOR RACE. Princeton, N. May Yale won the junior race at 13-4 miles in the triangular Carnegie cup regatta on Lake Carnegie today. Corneil was second, two lengths behind, and Princeton third, a length and a half farther back, Salisbury, May lowly Colonials bumped off the erstwhile league leading Capitals here this afternoon twice in succession for the third consecutive win over the visitors during the week-end.

The locals copped the first game, a thrilling affair, by the score of 4 to 2, while thathe nightcap was so onesided was hardly interesting after the Colonials began a rampage in the first frame. The score was 12 to 0. The Capitals were allowed but seven hits during the twin encounter, five first game and two in the final. A total of twenty-four base blows came to the Colonials, they being rather evenly divided. The first game found Wilson rocking along, putting the Caps down without hits for four innings.

In the fifth, Lundeen cracked out a homer but the bases were empty. A walk, single by Lundeen and stolen base plus Butler's single scored Strain in the seventh for the other run. Butler's Errors Costly. The Colonials hit timely, and in the third inning scored once. Two runs came in the fifth, a brace of errors by Butler aiding in the scoring.

A final run came the eighth from a walk and two hits. In the nightcap, Richardson blanked the visitors, and allowed but two hits, both of' which came in the seventh inning and were of the single variety. The Colonials, in the meantime, jumped on Lefty Cress in the first frame, took advantage of tiro walks, and two errors by Cress, and scored seven times. Augustine took up the burden in the second, was touched for two hits and had two bad errors by Butler to aid in his hard luck, two men scoring. Three runners counted in the third, and the Colonials stopped their scoring QUITE A BIG CLIMB First Game.

The Caps invaded Salisbury Friday perched atop the circuit, but they departed tonight, badly battered by the Cellarites, and lowered to the second rung of the percentage ladder, where they are tied with Rocky Mount and but one point ahead of the third place Twins. The Colnials showed no respect for Raleigh pitching during the series, the locals hitting the offerings of Elliott, Morris, Cress and Augustine hard during the three games of the series. The double victory for the Colonials, coming when was dropping a pair of games to Rocky Mount, put the locals into a tie with the Bulls for fifth place or the bottom, you please.
