Seven Trips
To Norfolk
Won By Boys

Seven trips to Norfolk, Va, were
won by Daily Dispatch Sales
men in a contest sponsored by this
newspaper.
The boys originally planned to
visit the United States fleet in Nor
folk, but sudden orders from the
navy department sent the fleet to
the Pacific coast.
There will be several ships in port
over the weekend, and some of the
boys are planning to take the trip
to see those. The other winners will
take cash in lieu of the trip to the
seaport.
The work of the boys in the contest
was highly commendable, and their
friends rallied to their support, which
the boys greatly appreciate.
Winners of the trips were Malvern
WhitmOre, Richard Davis, Phillip
Harris, who-won two trips, and plan
ned to carry his substitute with him
James Kelley, Carlton Tucker am
Lester Parrish.

On Fees Plan

Replies from parents are slow
coming in on the query sent to them
early in the week as to their opinions
about a flat fee to be charged high
school students, in lieu of the many
different calls for money made on
them throughout the year, it was said
today by Prof. w. D. Payne, prin-
cipal of the Henderson high school.
High school students were given a
new letter to their parents when they
went home yesterday afternoon, in
which the plan was further outlined
by Mr.. Payne, and in which he urg-
ed as early response as possible to
the earlier request for an opinion.
While the fee would cover ad-
missions of the high school pupil to
all athletic contests, class plays and
some other activities, some opposi-

Masonic bodies of Henderson are
making preparations for visit soon

grand master of the Grand Lodge of
North Carolina, who was elevated to
that office this week at the annual

Signs Of Caper

Topnotch Hurting Jobs
By FeIIer and Boeby
Brighten Picture.
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

It's time somebody warned the
American League that the New. York
Yankees fuse already is burning.
Ordinarily the wilmington losing
of a couple of games in a row
at the start Of the season isn't in
dicative of anything in particular
But the Yankees are in a class by
themselves, and they aren't being
bashful about showing it.
Rained out three days, the world
champions picked up right where
they left of last year by blanking
the Boston Red Sox, 20, Thursday
and out-fllibustering the Washing
ton Senators yesterday, 6-3.
Their bearing in these two ap-
pearances must have been sadden-
ing to those observers who predicted
the race in the junior circuit would
be closer this year than last.
Contrast 1898 Start.
The champs made sluggish be-
ginning d year ago, lost their first
game and half of all the games they
played in April. Except for one
solitary day in mid-May they never
were in first place until June.
In contrast, the club is away to
a perfect start this time. Red Ruff
f1ng gave them superb 7-hit pitching
IN the opener. Yesterday Lefty
Gomez did almost as we'll except
for one wobbly inning which Joe Di
Maggie and Joe Gallagher offset
with two home runs, scoring five
runs in the third inning.
1t will take a lot of pitching and
power to prevent the Yanks from
making a walkaway of their event
right from the gun.
Some hopeful specimens of both
were produced yesterday.
Bob Feller, Cleveland's maturing
boy wonder, subdued the Detroit
Tigers on three hits, which made 1t
easy for the Indians to get a proper
81 start. He struck out 10 and the
only run by Detroit was Barney
McCoskey's homer in the sixth.
Jim Bagby, jr., gave the Phila-
delphia Athletics a Shit diet as the
Boston Red Sox got into the victory
column with a go score.
Champion Cubs Get Going.
The st. Louis Browns were rained
out against the White Sox, making
the Brownies and the Chicago fans
even. st. Louis hasn't played a
game and the Windy City fans
haven't seen game this season.
The champion Chicago Cubs
finally got started in st. Louis,
giving the Cardinals a AZ thump-
ing. Big Bill Lee pitched effectively
and Stan Hack and Joe Marty
settled matters with homers.
The Boston Bees won their third
straight and Danny MacFayden al
most got shutout, but gave four
walks in the last inning to the New
York Giants and had to be content
with a 1913 score.
Vito Tamulis and Claude Passeau
shared honors in a pitching duel
which left the Brooklyn Dodgers
and Philadelphia Phillies deadlocked
% when darkness stopped play
after II innings. Tamulis gave five
hits over the long route and Passeau
famed II men in eight innings be-
fore giving way to pinch hitter.

Constant dripping weareth away
stone, time marches on and there
continues to be no rest for the
weary, but Ossie Bluege, the
leopard-like utility infielder of the
Nationals, who is nearing 80, still
is counter-punching the calendar.

preciated fielder in the history of
baseball, has inherited the first
base duties of Jimmy Wasdell,

OF All Time
Yonk Does Everything
In His Trade With
Near Perfection
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Every time
you see Joe Di Maggie take that
ef1ortless swing Of his or race back
against the boards to rob some luck
less batter Of triple you can't help
getting sneaking feeling that here,
perhaps, Is the greatest all-around
ballplayer there has been.
Undoubtedly there have been
scores Of them with more color, many
who could run the bases more spec
tacularly, select few like Babe Ruth
and Jimmie Foxx who hit the ball
little farther when they connected
squarely, but I wonder if there has
been one who could do everything
quite so well.
Some of the old-timers who saw
iris Speaker in his prime say the
"Gray Eagle" was better ball hawk,
but it doesn't seem possible. Speaker,
they say, knew more than Di Maggie
toes at this stage about playing for
different batsmen, hence had
quicker Jump on the ball.
Three Constitute Yank Backbone.
Possibly true, but Di Maggie starts
so terrifically fast at the crack Of the
bat and goes so unerringly to the
right spot that it couldn't make much
difference. He roams center field and
hunks of right and left fields with
such deadly skill that he is bound to
be a downright mental hazard to
opposing batters. His throwing arm
is a slingshot.
AS for Joe's batting, the possibil-
tiles are limitless. I don't doubt
we'll see him hit 400 almost any
season now, with about 40 home runs
into the bargain. Opposing pitchers
this year will walk him purposely to
get at Lou Gehrig nearly as often
as they used to walk Ruth. They've
virtually quit giving him ball to hit
at in the tight spots.
II the Yankees were to lose Di
Maggie tomorrow they would be no
better than an even bet in my book
to beat out the Boston Red Sox. He
and Red Ruffng and Bill Dickey are
the backbone of the 3-time world
champions. These are the three
who take the heart out Of the
opposition.
Ruffing Declared Underrated.
Rufflng is far greater pitcher
than generally is realized. At SO he
still is so overpoweringly big and
fast and smart that any team he
faces is half licked before he throws
ball You often read that pitcher
"toyed" with the proposition. but Red
can come nearer doing just that day
after day than any man in the game.
The Red Sox will be slow shaking off
the plastering he gave them in the
opener.
Dickey. of course, is baseball's top
catcher. the perfect workman behind
the plate and one of the most feared
sluggers in either league. The Yam
KEGS might think they have a full
hedged replacement for him in
Buddy Rosar, but don't you believe it.
Di Maggie, by the way, finally has
begun to thaw out the Yankee fans.
They were down on him much Of last
season because of his protracted
holdout and the failure of the team
to get going without him, but he is
making them forget that.
When he emerges from the sta
dium now in late afternoon there Is
the same swarm of youngsters await
ing him that used to surround the
Bambino, and they yell just as lust
lily. His appearance at the plate
brings splitting cheer in place Of
last years raZzberries. Joe is begin
ming to smile again.
