SMOKE RINGS
Gleanings
BY SAM Raglan

Gleanings from the weekend sports debris often give
some interesting sidelights to heighten the spirit OF play.
But anemia has now beset the sports world and the Mon
day morning potpourri today is more or less of a hit or
miss matter.
Basketball tournaments are %blossoming everywhere.
Right in this area two tournaments get under way this
week. The 18th annual Robson county high school meet
opens Tuesday and the tournament that started out on a
minor scale last year at Magnolia will open in full regalia
tonight. Teams in the Magnolia meet are independent
squads and these semi-pro outfits are fast and hot, and
we look for the tourney pace to be terrific.

The New Hanover Wildcats go
into their final week of play in the
Eastern Class A cage circuit today,
meeting Wilson tomorrow night and
Raleigh Friday night. In both games
they are given a chance to lift them
selves out Of the cellar and come
within shooting distance of second
place. But it will be tough, especial
ly since the low-scoring showing in
Raleigh last week.
The cage season is on it's last leg

Diplomatic Umpire
Back when we were touring the
Coastal Plain Class D baseball cir.
cult we remember how an umpire
got himself out of a tight spot dur
ing a championship series game be-
tween Kinston and Snow Hill. So
we were more than mildly inter
ested in an account of the incident
repeated by Jack Troy in the At
lanta Constitution.
The story, as he tells it, goes as
follows:
"Opie Shelton, public relations
agent for the chamber of commerce
and a former Carolinian, recalls
quite a story about the old days OF
the Coastal Plains league.
"It involved Bum Hearn, North
Carolina baseball coach, who was
plotting Kinston, and pea Head"
Walker, Wake Forest football coach.
who had the Snow Hill club.
"They had gone into the ninth
inning, Snow Hill and Kinston had,
and the game was ~deadlocked with
the pennant at stake.
"Kinston had the bases loaded and
two out.
"Naktenias, a former Duke left
handler and a wild man of the
mound, worked the count around to
three and two and then prepared to
give them all on the pay-off pitch.
"Naktenias wound up and fired
the ball toward the plate. The UNI
pire hesitated as the ball plopped
in the catcher's mitt. He bent low
to visualize the pitch again. And
then
'Tie..'' the umpire shouted.
Manager Walker calmly walked
out and put his hand on Naktenias'
shoulder and quieted him down.
Hearn, however, was in a purple
rage.
"But it was all to nc avail and
as play was resumed N~aktenlas
struck out the batter. The game
wore on into the 18th inning and
Kinston squeezed over a u to win,
9-8.
"It undoubtedly was the most nov
Ell ending to. any championship in
baseball's history"
