Both teams are starting with

trouble beating Georgetown Prer
recently while Tech has yet to get in
anything but practice sessions.
Coach Bruce Kessler of Tech was
to send Buddy Webb, one of his two
veterans, to the hill in the hope OF
stopping the Tigers batters. Webb
who was retarded by excess weight
last year, has lost Is pounds and
now tips the scales at 200. He has
shown pretty fair stuff in training
and is regarded as Techs pitching
mainstay.
For Wilson, Coach Carl Heintel
will start Nino Briscuso. who turned
back Georgetown Prep. Others are
in reserve-Leo Norman and Dick
Kaufman. Right now Heintel
thinks that his team is slightly bet
ter than last years, which twice
beat Central before finishing fourth

Seventh Perfect 300
In A. B. T.. History
Goes 10 Unknown
Few See Ohioon in Feat
After Two Poor Comes
Prevent Money Score
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, April 16.--While cham
pions and near-champions have
fallen by the wayside, a bespectacled
factory clerk has become the hero of
the American Bowling Congress.
Rolling in the late afternoon, with
only a few fans and fellow keglers
looking on, 40-year-old George Pal
lage Of Akron, Ohio, yesterday be-
came the seventh person in the his
tory of the A. B. c. to roll perfect
300 game.
Just another unknown" rolling in
the singles event, Pallage became
the center of attraction when the
word got around he had nine strikes
IN a row after mediocre opening
games of 1877 and 1853. The odds
were all against him, but slowly and
methodically he proceeded to add
three more strikes, and the coliseum
echoed with cheers.
In the 40 years since the A. B. c.
came into being only six bowlers had
accomplished the perfect game in
the annual tournaments until Pal
lage added a seventh name to the
list yesterday. In that time more
than 100000 bowlers have rolled g.
10000 games.
Pallage's total score was not good
enough to make the high standings
board, despite his perfect game, but
his feat overShadoWed the changes
which were made. Another Akron
bowler, Encil Carpenter, 42-year-
old barber, turned in a 1881 total
for fifth place in the all-events, while
the Creep Inn No. team of Cleve-
land rolled 1882 in the evening ses-
sion to take eighth place in the five
man event.

be the big bass season. says Skipper
Baum. Good catches, of course, will
depend mainly on weather condl-
tions, but indications are that the
fish will be big and plentiful. In
regard to blueflsh. large ones are
just a gamble as always. No doubt
there will be plenty of small and
medium ones, but, according to Capt.
Baum, they are not likely to be there
before June.
Some -spOrtsmen claim
and we at times join them
that the Carolina Banks,
graveyard of the Atlantic,
offer the country's best all
around saltwater fishing
above Florida.
Surf casting Is another favorite
sport here, with catches likely to
run from channel bass and bluefish
to shark and big rays and other in
habitants of the banks.
Jamboree Celebrated Opening.
The anglers campfire on the Ca
toctin area of Maryland over the
week end to celebrate officially the
trout opening was a bust as far as
fishing was concerned, but otherwise
1t was a grand jamboree. Close to
100 sportsmen turned out in spite of
the extremely poor weather.
Sixteen hundred fish had
been planted in the Fisher
mans Paradise" on Hunting
Creek for the occasion, and all
but q few of them still are
there.
The water was too cold to fish,
ranging from 38 to Al degrees. That
is something unusual around here,
the general complaint being that the
streams are too hot to support trout
life. The fish Rugged the bottom
and practically nothing could induce
them to bite.
Among the well-known personali-
ties in the fishing world present were
Talbot Denmead, chief of the Black
Bass Division of the Bureau of Fish
cries; Dan Holland, editor of Field
and Stream; Ray Camp, fishing edi-
tor Of the New York Times; Van
Campen Heilner, one of the country's
most noted fishermen and game au-
thorities; Dave Roberts and Jim
Stubner of Cleveland, officials of
the outdoor Writer'S Association,
and John Alden Knight, inventor of
the Solunar Tables.

Show Ring Loses Great Rider,
Versatile Trainer in Death
Of Roby, Long Popular Here

as Prince Charming, High Hat, King
Joy and Great King. After reach
ing the top under Bobby's handling
Prince Charming was sold by Nor
ton for 5000 and later became the
leading show ring hunter in the
country. High Hat did a lot of
winning in Virginia and was so
highly thought of that Norton re-
fused $500 for him-a short time
before the horse injured himself and
was sold for $500. He was champion
at the Washington show one year.
Bobby was responsible for the
success of these horses" Norton
said. He also started the great
Broken Glass before that horse
was sold to Mrs. D. N Lee of Middle
burg, Va. In his best days he could
do anything with a horse and un-
like many show ring riders he could
handle saddle horses as we'll as he
could manage hunters and jump
ers."
During the late '20s Bobby Sdi-
vided his time between riding in
shows and hunting with the old
Riding and Hunt Club pack. He
was whip and knew his job thor
oughly. He also rode the show
horses of Mrs. Herbert Bryant, then
Margo Couzens, and won countless
blues on Dixie's Child, favorite
with local and nearby ring fans. Dis
trict Commissioner Melvin Hazen's
horses also were handled by Bobby.
Scored With Randle Horses.
During the last two years Bobby
had ridden the horses owned by
U. S. Randle of Fairfax, Va. His
success with these was amazing
and in one show last spring he
picked UP some IL blue ribbons in
two days. His last show was at
Chevy Chase last fall when he rode
Betty Couzen's new horse, Sumouse,
to the reserve championship.
When not riding Bobby liked to
play tricks on other riders. He
was at his best when giving some
one. the "hot foot" and never would
tire of devising new tricks. No one
ever became angry with Bobby. He
was the life OF any party.

Capt. Baum is booked solid for this
week, and hopes that the hard
northeaster which was blowing at

night would let up in time for his
patrons to fish.
In his opinion, Oregon Inlet
will enjoy very good cham
mel bass season, though 1t will
be two or three weeks late be-
cause Of severe winter.
On Friday he went out to the inlet
just to mark his channels and ran
into several large schools of drum
in the middle of the inlet. He
hooked one with an old painted
spoon and handline that was rot
ten, the only tackle he had with him,
and the line parted. On Saturday

too strong to fish, another, boat

Major BoseboIl Largely
SmoII-Town Product

Big league baseball comes far from
belonging exclusively to the country S
leading cities. 1t is largely a small
town product. New York, Chicago
Detroit, Philadelphia and other big
cities have few native born entries.
You'll find that Cecil Travis of
Washington came from Riverdale
Ca; that Twinkletoes Selkirk halls
from Huntsville, Ontario; Red Rolfe
is an entry from Penacook, N. H.,
and Jimmy Ripple first began to
toddle in Export, Pa.
Most of the stars come from the
lesser citadels-Bill Dickey from
Bastrop, La; Charley Gehringer
from Fowlerville, Mich; Paul Der
ringer from Springfield, KY; Dizzy
Dean from Lucas, Ark; Carl Hubbell
from Carthage, Mo.
The Di Maggios are San Francisco
people and Dick Bartell was born in
Chicago. Gordon is from Los Ange-
les originally and Hank Greenberg
from New York, but these big city
boys are in the minority.
Gabby Hartnett is a Woonsocket,
r. l., boy: that same thriving center
gave Larry Lajoie to the game in
another epoch. Charles Herbert
Ruff1ng comes from Granville, ILL.,,
and Louis Norman Newsom, also
known as Buck. from Hartsville, S. C.
There is more open space for base
ball diamonds and fields in these
hamlets off the beaten path and
there are few distractions for the
growing kid to face.
Most of the scouts and managers
now tell me they are looking for the
better and stronger breed of players
In that healthy sector that includes
Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
They seem to run faster, to throw
harder and to last longer" one
veteran manager said. "They come
up the harder way and are the
harder people. Star ballplayers
come from all over the map, from
unknown places, but there is a great
crop coming along from the South
west. A great country"
This is true. Sport is a big part
Of the Southwest. Look at those
Iexas-born golfers-Demaret, Man.
grum, Nelson, Metz, Guldahl, Cooper
on and on. You might also recall
those Texas football teams.
oklahoma probably has the best
high school football teams in the
game" Coach Bill Alexander of
Georgia Tech said recently, with

BoseboII Gives Country
Relief From Worries.

From this you can see what
another baseball opening means to
more millions than you might guess.
The thrill of the game moves from
the major centers into hundreds of
unknown towns with populations
under 1000 people. Every boost for
the hometown boy also is a boost
for their sweet Auburns of the
plains" where they sit on cracker
boxes day by day and wait to hear
what Joe Hoozis contributed to the
old box score.
Baseball means more to America
than just game, as great a game
as it is. 1t means new Nation wide
interest that blossoms with the peach
blooms and the dogwood each spring
and that carries along to the red
and orange tints of autumn leaves
1t gives millions something to think
about beyond the normal woes of a
somewhat harassed, and often de-
pressed, multitude.

Presiding: +su
We, tue grand jury for the March
term, 1910, Of Vance Superior Court,
beg to submit the following report.
We have examined and passed up
on all bills Of indictment and other
matters which have been brought 10
our attention.
In body we visited the State con-
vict camp, county Jail and city LOCK-
up and found as follows:
State convict camp: We visited this
camp and examined all of the build
ings. 1t is in excellent condition, and
we commend Mr.. j. H. Gupton, SUI
perintendent, for his efforts.
County Jail: We found this in fair
condition, but the old part was not
in as sanitary condition as it should
be.
City lookup: We found this in
good condition. At times the lock-
up is over croWdcd and should be
moved TO larger and better ventilat
&C quarters.
The Scott Parker Sanitorium,
county home and various offices in
the court house were visited by COM
mittcc. The SanitOrium and county
home were found in their usual good
condition.
Court House: In our last report
we recommended that insulation be
placed on steam pipes leading from
furnace as a means of conserving
heat and saving fuel. We find that
this condition has not as yet been
lvmedied.
When examining records in the
various offices we found sheriff is
now keeping records of arrests and
disposition Of cases as recommended
by the grand jury at the January
term.
We think that the records kept in
the office Of the clerk of the superior
court are in excellent condition, as
stated before. Also that the records
in other offices are in good condition,
and we'll kept, especially in the Of
flee of the register Of deeds.
Schools: We did not visit each OF
the schools and examine all buses
as we did at the January term. How
ever, we did make investigation as to
condition of school buildings and
buses, and found that previous re-
concentrations have been or are be-
ing carried out with very few eX-
ceptions.
We did find fire drills are being
had only in rare cases.
We are still of the opinion that the
number of school buses is inadequate,
practically every one being over

crowded, even where buses make
two and in some cases three trips a
day over long runs.
We find that all justices Of the
peace have made reports with the
exception of Asa P. Paschall.
Your honor instructed us to make
an investigation regarding the opera
ton of slot machines, pin tables, tip
boards, punch boards, etc, in the city
and county This we have done to
the best of our ability. We have had
before us the mayor, chief of police,
county recorder, sheriff and county
prosecuting attorney. We have in
structed them that your honor want
ed action, and that we wanted action
in regard to the above, and also any
other operation of gambling devices,
or operation of lotteries or similar
games of chance, if there be any OPP
Grating in violation of law in this
county. We have had reports from
the recorder and mayor that action
has been taken and efforts will be
continued in this respect, and we
earnestly recommend that this course
be pursued.
