MINOR MINORS
 SEND UP MANY
 ROCKIES TO BB
Recruits for Big League Clubs Gathered Here,
 There, Everywhere
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer

Although it's quite leap from the lower class minors to the major leagues. around 50 ambitious young sters are trying to hurdle the dis tance this spring.
 It's unlikely that more than half a dozen can stretch their undevel- oped abilities sufficiently to nego- tiate this running broad Jump.
 Among those with at least fair chance are Pitchers Jim Bagby of the Boston Red Sox, Joe Krakaus- kas and Joe Kohlman of Washing ton and Jeff" Erickson of the Boston Bees; Outfielders Pa Barna of the Philadelphia Athlet- ics and George Case of Washing ton; and Infielders Harl Maggert, Jr., of the Bees, Julius" Cisar Of Brooklyn and Gene Hasson of the As.
 Sons of star athletes seldom flash in sports. So it is with interest that baseball folks watch the spring performances of young Jim Bagby, whose dad won 31 games and pitched Cleveland to a pennant in 1920.
 Jim, Jr., 21, has pitched profess sionally for three years. Last sea- son was his best, the slim, 6-foot-2 right-hander chalking up q tri- umphs for Hazleton in the New York Pennsylvania loop. James fought it out on his own for two seasons and then old Jim taught him how to throw the knuckle- ball. It's quite possible that he may knuckle that sphere past American league batters this campaign.
 Harl Maggert is another "Jr. ' who may go places. His pop was a Philadelphia As fly catcher a quarter century ago. Harl, third sacker, played with Asheville last

season and, compiling batting av- craze of 342, led the Piedmont league in runs-ba tted-in, hits, dou- bles and total bases.
 A youngster who switched from the pitching mound to the outfield on the advice of Connie Mack may cavort in the Senators left garden. Tagged as a fine bunter and a speedy fielder, George Washington Case gave a pleasing performance at the tail-end of last year with Washington.
 You've got to give Jeff Brick sen a chance to succeed just on the strength of his name, Richard Mer- riwcll. Richard Merriwells, ac- cording to legend, don't fail Jeff turned in fine earned-run average with Scranton in 1887. He's lanky right-hander.
 Gere Hasson, up from Williams port, hit .306 in 28 games as Con- nie Mack's first -baseman last sea son. The As believe he'll be a fix ture. Outfielder Paul Barna of All bany authored a 383 batting mark in IA games for the As last fall and seems likely to stick.
 Krakauskas and Kohlman, 2l- year-old hopefuls, brought smiles to Washington's Clark Griffith late last season, particularly Kraky who won 4 and lost 1. Brooklyn may find a spot for Cisar, who was far and away the best base-stealer in the Three-I circuit.

An Unusually Light
Vote Cast In Ashe
Less Than 700 Out OF 1900 Vot-
ed. Reynolds and Winborne
Led 5 To /,

True predictions, the vote in
Ashe county last Saturdays Demo-
cratic primary was one of the light
est on record.
With over 1000 Democratic regis
tered voters, less than 700 of them
cast ballots, and those who voted
registered decided preference for
Reynolds and Winborne, by the
count of about S to l. Hancock
carried only three of the county's
precincts and Grady one. Grassy
Creek, Obids and Walnut Hill gave
a majority.
Lack of interest was due to the
fact that no county contests were on
and that none of the four candidates
spent any money in the county.
Published elsewhere in this issue is
complete tabulation of the re-
turns.

sands of people, many of them from
various places throughout the cota-

Nathan's Creek community plan for
it for weeks in advance, cooking up
food and getting everything in read

Everyone is invited to attend and
one of the reasons for the exception

pastors Of Senter church, will be in
charge of the services. Elders c. D.

Post Invites Ashe Women
To See "Star In My Kitchen"
Cooking School In Motion Pic
ture Form Will Provide In
Struction And Entertainment.

The Skyland Post has scored
again!
This newspaper has just been sue
cessful in securing the new Motion
Picture Cooking School, "Star in
My Kitchen, which will be present
ed at the Parkway Theatre June q,
% and %.
Mark the days on your calendar
because every woman-and man
in the community is hereby extend
ed a cordial invitation to see, abso-
5lutely free, this fascinating picture
which weaves helpful, intelligent
lessons on cooking and home-mak
ing into a humorous and romantic
plot. .
The Motion Picture Cooking
School is brand new idea. First
conceived last year, it has met with
acclaim from women throughout the
country, who like the happy combi-
nation of sparkling entertainment
and closeup cooking instruction.
Seats in the back row are as good
as those in the front row-the mo-
ton picture permits everyone to
hear and see every trick in frosting
a cake, making pie, or cooking
bananas.
"Star in My Kitchen" was pro-
duced in Hollywood, and the audi
ence will recognize many of the ris-
ing young actors and actresses who
take part in it. Women, young and
old, will appreciate the humaneness
of the romantic story, in which
home problems are approached from
an entirely new angle.
The Motion Picture Cooking School
has graduated beyond the demon
stration course in the wide variety
of household equipment assembled
in clear view of the audience. All
of the practical equipment is seen
in active use, and because seeing
is believing, the audience will soon
learn that pie and cakes and salads
can make them "stars in their kitch-
en-.
Experienced housekeepers will
thrill to the adventures of the young
Dedee Abot, who finds herself with
a large home to manage and several
mouths to feed-as well as hand
some young movie actor to impress.
What happens when she tries to
make a fluffy lemon meringue pie
or marshmallow chocolate cake?
What happens when the imam of the
hour" drops in for dinner?
To unrave1 the mystery in adj
vance would be to rob this clever
tale of it's novel approach. How
ever, the audience is due to share
in a rollicEing good story and to
learn much about home-making at
the same time.
Over 300 recipes were submitted
in the recent recipe contest and The
Post is now busy printing "Ashe
county's first Cook Book" which, if
completed in time, will be given
away free at the school. Merchants
are urged to prepare an advertise
ment for this unique book which
everyone will surely want.
