Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-11-17

Automobile clubs, the oil business
and others interested seem to be con-
Quoting an intensive campaign against
diversion of highway funds.
From Coleman w. Roberts, presi-
dent of the Carolina Motor Club,
comes this blast:
"The twin evils of diversion and dis
persion must be eliminated if we hope
to make any real progress toward
building our highways up to the
point where they are adequate to
handle modern motor traffic with eff
ficiency and dispatch"
Meanwhile S. Gilmer Sparger, state
secretary of the North Carolina Pc
troleum Industries Committee, is car
rying the war to the country, speak
ing this week at meetings in Alexan-
der, Avery, Watauga, and Allegheny
counties.

Since Bob Feller came along the
farmers have abandoned potatoes,
corn. turnips, and tomatoes, for the
development of KNOCKERS, fade
aways, sinkers, hooks and fast balls.
Barns behind which to practice are
at premium"
In connection with the shortage
of barns, Operative K9l3 suggested
sound get-rich-quick scheme, and
offered to let me in on the ground
floor. 1t is his idea to build port
able barns and take them around
the country, leasing them to barn.
less fathers with boys. think I'll
accept the offer, because the field
for these barns is limitless. 1t isn't
limited to the farming country.
Right here in New York there must
be thousands of parents without
barns. who are having to practice
their boys behind skyscrapers, be-
meath elevated pillars, and alongside
delicattessen shops. And Papa Eel
ler has proved that this isn't the
right setting. A red barn is the one
sure setting. I believe these barns,
with a Rhode Island red rooster
thrown in free for a target, would
sell like hot cakes. If the chicken
got killed by knuckler or a spit
ter that would be all right, too,
because take it from me there are
few finer dishes than a Rhode
Island red rooster, smothered in
T-bone steaks.

NEW YORK. April 90. UP)-
When Bob Feller signed his name
to a $4,000 contract, thus complet-
ing his rise from farm boy to base
ball star he may well have revo-
lutionized the upbringing of boys
in this country.
If you have read young Feller's
life story-and you could hardly
have missed it because it's been
published in everything, including
Braille-Papa Feller is the man re-
sponSible for Bob's major league
contract Bob was given a base
ball for a rattle, cut his teeth on
an old glove, and wore a sliding
pad instead of rubber pants. Soon
as Bob was old enough to stand,
Papa Feller took him behind the
barn, stuck a baseball in his chub-
by fist, and said:
Start a chunkin' son. And keep
en- a chunkin' until you got every
thing Matty had"
And for II years that's just
about all Bob did, with Papa Feller
as catcher. Everything worked out
just as Papa Feller had planned.
Bob became a great pitcher, and
now is wallowing in gold and head
lines. And Papa Feller sits on the
front porch with his feet on the
bannisters. smoking cigars as black.

BRAWLEY Hi,
CALEXICO IN
CRUCIAL TEST

A scrappy lot of BraWley high
school baseballers yesterday after
noon tore through a brisk practice
session in making ready for their
most important game of the sea-
son Saturday afternoon in CaleX-
leo.
BoaSting the strongest nine since
1892 when the Wildcats spiked the
hopes of Calexico diamondeers to
win the valley title, only to lose a
9-3 decision to San Diego high in
the playoff, the Brawley diamond
squad is determined to again knock
over the Bulldogs.
Calexico, however has annexed
the league crown for the past four
years and also line up with a strong
ball club.
Nick Ellis is scheduled to start
the game for the Brawley team
and Galeo Gamlin will oppose the
Wildcat batsmen.
In the other league baseball game
Ell Centre will meet Imperial high
school on the Spartan diamond. Ell
Centre tripped Calipatria last Fri
day in the first league game and
Imperial was slaughtered 39-2 by the
Brawley Wildcats.
Ell Centro is heavily favored to
win and maintain IT'S clean slate in
the valley race. How long they will
be able TO hold that record viii
depend largely on their ability to
strengthen their hitting attack
which was noticeably inferior in
the Hornet game.

RACE DRIVERS
TO MAKE BID
FOR HONORS

A battered crew of midget race
drivers, still gasping for breath af-
ter last weeks thrilling finish in
the main event, today tinkered their
tiny cars into shape for another
Friday night of thrills, spins and
crackupS.
Fred Salmen and Frank Hetzel
are prepared to renew their duel
in the main event, but, according
to other speed kings, the race won't
be a two car battle this week. Ev-
cry car will be fighting to finish
the line in first position. and unless
the track is still salted as it was
a couple of weeks ago, dust will fly.

Middle to
Head Card

The parade of middleweights to
challenge Herman Graves supe-
riority will be continued at the
El Centro A. C. arena Thursday
night when Lloyd Mackay of Riv-
erside will step into the ring with
the valley champion in the main
event.
Mackay is one of the fastest i'm
proving middleweights on the coast
and will give the Ell Centre bomber
a real battle.
Mackay is utterly fearless and
packs a punch that has laid more
than a score of foes on the canvas.
Graves, though a more eXpe-
rienced fighter, will find Mackay
the most dangerous opponent he
has met in two years of competi-
ton. Unlike most invaders, Mac
kay has everything to win and Moth
ing to lose. He holds no titles but
has whipped list of fighters who
do.
Jolting Joe Villegas will tangle
with another k.o. artist, Joe lGuer-
rero in the semi-windup. Guer-
rero is cagy fighter despite the
fact he is noted for his power hit
ting and may be able to stop Vile
gas, a feat the best Eighties in
the state were unable to accom-
plish last season.
Manuel Ortiz who cooled Francis
Richards with a powerhouse right
last week will tackle Tommy Mag
dalena in the fifth bout.
Manuel is favored but will have
his work cut out for him when
he tries to land on the Riverside
fighter

NEW YORK, April 20. W.R)-The

by nightfall both teams will share

forecast, approximately 224,000 per-
sons are expected to see today's
seven games. The Phillies and Bees,

One Of the feature events of
the meet will be the shot put
event in which Derrick of Holt
vile. Aaron of El Centro and Allen
of Brawley will tangle.
Derrick boasts the best distance
but both Aaron and Allen will i'm
prove in this weeks practice. Der
rick barely defeated Aaron and
Allen in the Holtville relay meet
and as a result the Holtville ace
will be forced to produce his best
heave TO take the event.
The $50, 440 and mile races will
be outstanding, as will the hurdle
