Car Tennis Team Wins Despite Rain, 6-0 The Frosh vs. Cadets This Afternoon mmlv amis CHAPEL HILL, N. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1939 With LEONARD LOBRED U3)(Bae(DEQS dDnaQ Tennimflsinnieini WMftewaiisfln' Oak Ridge Cadets Will Attempt To Break Frosh Nine's Winning Streak Today At 4 "no SINGSEN, ZORI TO BE AAU STARS Edwin Singsen, the pole vaulterand Milan Zori, the discus heaver, will be among the outstanding performers in the third annual Carolinas AAU meets here this weekend. The junior meet will start Friday at 3 o'clock and the senior competition will begin Saturday at 2. Singsen, a Rhode Island state graduate who is doing graduate work at N.

C. State, worked out here in the Tin Can during the winter and helped coach Carolina's varsity and freshman vaulters, and he has been here several times this" spring to get in shape for the AAU meet. Singsen's best height is 13 feet 6 inches, which he matched in a vaulting exhibition at the Southern conference indoor games here in February. Zori, formerly a State student, raised his own Fetzer, field discus mark to 149 feet 9 inches in winning his event here last year. Having been conference champion, he is considered one of the best discus men in the South.

Both he and Singsen will compete in the senior AAU meet Saturday. Since Singsen began training here last winter, more emphasis has been placed on all field which are the Tar Heels' weakest department at present. Especially stressed is the work of the present frosh crop. Carl Suntheimer threw the discus 128 feet in practice the other day, and Dick White putted the shot 46 feet in the frosh meet Saturday. Frosh Golf Squad To March On Duke For Second Match Having beaten Durham high school 14 -3 in their lone appearance of the season, the Carolina freshman golf squad will journey to Durham tomorrow for a match with the Duke freshmen on the Hillandale course.

Archie Pezzella, most promising member of the frosh squad, Artie War-holic, John Diffendal, and Bobby Strange composed the team that defeated, the Durham lads. Since then strong competition has developed in Jim Frank Hackler, Dick Wharton, Allen Headlee, and Billy Peete. From these eight, four will be selected to play tomorrow.

The local boy made good this afternoon and brought Wake Forest a 3-2 victory over Carolina in a game held up by rain for 20 minutes at the start of the fifth inning. With none out in the home half of the eighth, the score tied at 2-2, and Talley DuPree on first, Dave Fuller, well-set Deacon first baseman who hails from the quiet metropolis that lends its name to the Old Gold and Black school, unloaded a long drive to left center field that Jim Mallory played into a triple and DuPree scored the run that won the ball game. Until Fuller sent his long game breaking-up blow, the battle had been a tight pitchers battle between Sam Davis of the Tar Heels and Jim Denning, third member of the brilliant Deacon pitching triumverate. Davis allowed ten hits in the game, but four of them were infield blows and Sam Wake Forest scoring down. Denning gave up three hits, but working on the principle of making everything count, the Hearnmen made both of their tallies on the minimum number of hits one in each FOURTH INNING The Tar Heels made a run in the fourth inning during a steady downpour that stopped the game after the Deacons had taken their swings in the fourth.

The 20 minute halt in proceedings cooled Davis, and he gave up a tying run in the fifth. Carolina went back in front in the seventh, and saw the game tied up again in the Deacon seventh, and finally had it broken up by Fuller's three ply blow in the eighth. Denning, giving up hits to Hal Bissett, Jimmie Howard and George Nethercutt, won his second game of the season, although not living up to the true Wake Forest strike out tradi- t.inn. -f i nnl tt fnnr man TVin A.

ALMOST WASHED OUT Saved from a wash-out when the rain stopped, Wake Forest began washing-out the afternoon for Carolina in the fifth when Mr. Fuller, villain of the (Continued on page 4, column U) (So He baseball-minded citizenry Charlotte have been pondering the fate recently of Roberta Estalalella (we Spanish scholars pronounce it s4a-lel-ya), who at present is get--what most consider his first big cfcance at making good in the major leagues.

Little Roberto, who was covered playing ball in Cuba, led piedmont league last year in tatting, home runs, total bases, and reus batted in. It is easy to say that this is his fecond chance with the Washington taam and that he probably won't Bate good this time either. First you giost know that Clark Griffith, owner and president of the Washington ball dob, is the greatest showman on earth except Phineas Barnum and Bffly Rose. Mr. Griffith has had in fcis employ, among others, Al Schacht and Nick Altrock, the coaching-downs, Art "The Great" Shires, and probably least heard of, a red-bearded House of David hurler named Oder Benson, who made his debut in a Sunday game against the White Sox, threw eight innings, wore a lister on his forefinger and retired without a decision.

Benson started the following Sunday and was batted out again. He made one western swing with the team and was dropped. Estalella began in a similar fashion. Just as he was "found," Baddy Lewis, a young lad of 19, began to weaken under the daily strain of major league balL The little hunk of Cuban dynamite was tke subject of all the baseball writers for a week. Since Bobby couldn't speak English, more color copy was written about him than about aay other Washington player except Walter Johnson.

Bobby stepped into Buddy Lewis' spot at third base. It was claimed that he couldn't field. He couldnt field balls hit straight at him, and he tapped instead of caught low grounders. But his hitting was a definite asset. His strength of arm offset his slowness of foot.

Bobby played for a while, began to win games and make spectacular plays at third. He drew more people at the gate. Then he kgan to fade, and Lewis regained his strength and took over. Heinie Manush obligingly came up with a case of bad eyes and his hit-tag slumped terrifically. Manush was a "snap hitter," one who swung with his wrists as the ball crossed the ylate.

Estalella went into left field, started getting his hits and again was a gate attraction. He had the lowest throw seen in Griffith stadium for many years. Roberto was taken to the Nationals' training camp in Biloxi, the next spring. Pictures of the shortest and tallest men in camp bearing the caption "The Long and Short of It" showed Estalella looking up to a lanky six-foot Class pitcher. But he didn't make the grade.

He was present at the season opener when President Roosevelt tossed out the first ball, hut didn't last long after that. Estalella spent the last two years with Charlotte. Now he is one the many Latins who are trying to make the grade with Washington. Bigtime writers not including myself of course have accused "Old Fox" Griffith of covering up the liabilities of his team with his assort-ent of Bobby Estalellas, Alexandra Feimster To Pitch; Bland, Cox To Sub For Frye, Jones Ham Strayhorn's Tar Baby baseball team enters its big wind-up push this afternoon when the Oak Ridge Military academy comes a gunning for the yearlings eight game winning streak on Emerson field at 4 o'clock. Before the next three weeks are over, the freshmen will have had troubles galore with Charlotte high school and frosh nines from State college, Duke and Wake Forest.

Big Hank Feimster will do the flinging for the Tar Babies this afternoon. Hank will be going after his fourth victory in as many starts when he faces the Cadets. He was originally scheduled to pitch against Wake Forest Friday, but Strayhorn has decided to send Lefty Cheshire and Red Benton against the Deaclets. Claude Myers, currently at the top of the backstopping heap, will be behind the plate. With his shortstop and third baseman on the casualty list, Strayhorn will have a new left side on his infield.

Haywood Bland will be at short in place of Tom Frye, who is entertaining a badly sprained ankle -in the infirmary, while Pete Cox, who played third against Durham high after Popeye Jones hurt his leg stealing third, will probably continue to hold down the hot corner post. With the exception of left field, there are no changeSOn tap for the rest of the lineup. If Oak Ridge calls on a southpaw hurler today, Phil Moore, who is hitting .400, will get the job for the afternoon. If a righthander goes to the mound for the Cadets, Hardy Thompson, batting the ball around at a mean .368 clip, will patrol the outer gardens along with Julian Miller in center and Ernie Carraway in right. After resting one day, the Tar Babies will face Wake Forest here Friday and again in the Deaclets' lair on Monday.

Then State college, Charlotte high and Duke follow in rapid succession before the season winds up May 15.

Major League Scores AMERICAN LEAGUE Tmr Eeefl RAIN INTERRUPTS DOUBLES MATtt IS FOR OFFICIAL WIN By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN "You may quote me," said Lynch Murphy, varsity tennis manager, "as saying we are casually annihilating Duke." Which was the as by the time the rain came yesterday Carolina had played its six singles matches, getting an official verdict of 6-0 over the visiting Blue Devils. The three doubles were in the process of being contested when the tri- As yet unbowed, the varsity tennis team will play Maryland on the igourts here today, beginning at 2:30.

weekly Carolina rain descended to call a halt to the proceedings. All doubles had gone one set, in favor of Mr. Kenfield's boys, and another 15 minutes would have seen another 9-0 shellacking hung on the Duke net-men. Only Bill Rood was extended over the two straight sets requirement in winning yesterday, and his opponent Parsons, noted Blue Devil basket-j bailer, won the praise of Coach Ken-field as being one of the best players on the courts. It was the No.

3 match, and Rood won out 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. Carl Rood was the center of attention in the No. 1 battle, and he placed his shots so as to defeat Merchant of Duke 7-5, 6-4. Charley Rider, who nearly had a sunstroke in the Davidson meet Monday, filled the second-place spot and suffered no pain in surpassing Ted Collins, 6-2, 6-3. Rider, like most of the Carolina players, showed effects of playing too much tennis.

Rest is the only effective remedy and the varsity will engage Maryland here today, play in the state tourney at Raleigh tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday, and then participate in two more meets before getting relief. To get back to the Duke meet yesterday, No. 4 man Rawlings beat Dixon 6-3, 6-2, and Walt Messerole tagged Hulme 6-1, 6-4. Dave Early, playing the last outpost, overcame Jones 7-5, 6-3. In an unofficial seventh match, Chuck Harnden massacred Contine in two sets, six-love each.

FIRST DOUBLES Charlie Rider and Red Rawlings were doing well in the first doubles affair when interrupted by rain. Getting the first set, they dropped three consecutive games in the second and then won the next four straight. Eddie Fuller again watched from the sidelines, nursing a sore arm which should be in fine form by the week-end. Possibly he will play against Maryland today. Life Saving Class The first meeting of a class in Senior life saving will be held at 7 o'clock tonight in room 304 Woollen gym.

The course which is to begin tonight will be the last opportunity this year for Carolina students to renew or obtain the Senior life saving rating, which is a prerequisite for the Instructor's course which will be given again next year. GOLFERS PICIiED OVER WILDCATS Carolina's varsity golfers will be out for their ninth victory tomorrow when they tangle with the Davidson Wildcats on the Sedgefield course in Greensboro. Eight victories and one defeat is the Tar Heels' record at present. The Heels are favorites to take the Davidson meet. Although they may run up a large score, all matches will be close as Davidson has a strong team this season.

Four men from trie Xollowing five will be picked to play in the meet: "Frosty" Snow, Clarence Kluttz, Charlie Diffendal, Hudson Boyd, and Neal Herring. The team will journey back to Greensboro on Friday for the state meet. Carolina will enter two teams in this meet. One team will be composed of the four regulars and the second team will consist of Paul Sev-erin, Albert Carr, Tom Hayes, with a fourth man to" be selected from the regular five. Wake Forest, Duke, Davidson, Carolina and possibly others will compete in the State meet.

Duke is a heavy favorite to capture the state crown. The State meet will consist, of 36 holes match play. Remaining meets on the varsity schedule after the state meet Friday are the Citadel meet at Pinehurst on May 13 and the Southern conference meet over the same grounds on the following day, May 14. Raleigh Linksmen Are High Champs Raleigh high school's golf team of James Casper, Reid Towler, Grover Dillon and Grover Poole captured the team honors in the North Carolina High School Athletic association's eighth annual golf tournament here yesterday on the Chapel Hill country club course. E.

Schreiber of Charlotte won individual honors with a 38-hole total of 130. Grover Poole pushed Schreiber all the way with a total of 131, but the latter put together four nine-hole totals of 28-34-32-35 on the par 30 course for the low score. Raleigh's quartet got a four-player aggregate of 556 in gaining its second consecutive title. Other team scores were: Charlotte 587, High Point 590, Winston-Salem 591, Oxford 609, Greensboro-614, Durham 622, Lexington 635. Other schools represented were Sanford, Fayetteville and Brag-town.

Individual scores of the three leading teams were: Raleigh (556) Casper 143, Towler 147, Dillon 134, and Poole 131; Charlotte (587) Strawen 151, Redman 149, Schreiber 130, and Bryant 157; Winston-Salem (591) Montague 151, Nunn 139, Gray 147, and Newsome 154.
