performing this task made neces-
sary by the injury to Lombardl,
Wilson handled the Reds pitchers
to their best, turned in some good
hitting including a perfect day at
bat in the final game n stole the
only base of the series.
Wilson said that it was his last
game. And his swan song really
hit the high notes.
Our other candidate for the hero
there always have to be
heroes-is big Buck Newsom, the
former Wilmington Pirates pitcher.
The South Carolinian had the best
earned run average of the series,
won two games and came within
a pair of deuces of winning the
for Detroit.
Buck would have liked to have
had the honor of winning the Sc
ries. But we imagine he'll settle
for a raise in pay for 1941.

FOR GRID
GAME HERE SEEN
Jaycees Report 125 Tickets
Sold On First Day; Crowd
Of. 5000 Expected

With reports that 125 tickets
were sold on the first days sales,
officials of the Junior Chamber OF
Commerce, which will have charge
of ticket sales, predicted last night
that the Davidson Citadel football
game here on November 80 will be
a sell-out.
Plans have been made to seat
5000 or more in the Legion sta.
dunn.
The ticket committee is compos-
ed of B. P. Curtis, Rodney Breeze,
Robert Dannenbaum and Jimmy
Moore.
Temporary headquarters for the
sales will be at Belk-Williams,
where Ernest Beale and Lansing
Brown will handle the tickets, and
at Fergus hardware store at III
Market street, where Elridge Fer
gus will have the tickets.
Tickets can also be secured from
any member of the Jaycees.
With the better-than-expected
power demonstrated by Davidson
and The Citadel in their opening
games, the contest stacks up as
being as close and as well-played
as any in the state this fall.
The ticket committee last night
said that the best tickets would be
sold first and urged citizens of Will
mington and the surrounding coun-
ties to mail in their orders or on
tact individuals for their tickets
now.

Candidate Werber

Candidate Werber
There's little doubt but that the
standout hitter and fielder OF the
Series was Bill Werber, the former
Duke university star, who served
q term or two with Connie Mack's
Athletics before going into the
Rhinelande~s camp.
Werber was the player VINO was
supposed not to be able to hit his
own weight. But he fooled every
one by turning in a $40 percent
age that led both teams. On top of
that his fielding was sensational.
Then there's Jimmy Ripple, the
one-time Dodger who came to the
Reds late in the season by the
vicarious route of Judge Lands
office. The red-head was the best
clutch-hitter of the series and his
running stops in the outfleld
brought down applause from the
sourest of Tiger fans.
Neither IAN one overlook the
masterful pitching performances of
Bucky Walters and Paul Derringer.
Walters came through with two
victories in the second and sixth
games to bring the Reds up from
deficits into the running
again, and Derringer after being
Batted out in the first game turned
on the heat to win the deciding
game.
They were heroes all.
Others Too
But to us there were two other
players who were heroes too-one
was on the winning side and the
other with the losers.

Swiss Exports Recover
Sharply After Slump
By the Associated Press.

oy WIG <aoooSAoeSN 1SSc'
BERNIE, Switzerland, Jan. 23.-
Official Swiss statistics issued last
night showed that this little land
locked nation is winning a battle
to maintain vital export trade by
readjusting industries to wartime
conditions.
Swiss exports, on which the coun-
try lives, dropped 54 per cent dur
ing the first month of the war, but
climbed back close to normal dur
ing December.
Total December exports amounted
to 100 million Swiss francs (nearly
$1,000 ,000 compared to Septem-
ber's figure of 50 million francs
(about $12,OO0,00O. The December,
1898, total was 1874 million francs
($28, 900 ,OOO).
Complete details concerning the
reason for the rise were not given,
but a partial breakdown showed
that the Swiss chemical and phar-
maceutical industries accounted
for more than a quarter of the ex-
port total and their output was well
above the 1888 level.
Chemical industries in Switzer-
land hit a boom after the war
started and began supplying dyes
and 0ther products which the Ger
mans once turned out.
Swiss cheese exports more than
doubled over the last year to reach
a monthly total of $500. 900 francs
81 600, 000), due chiefly to the lack
Of Finnish cheeses on the British
market.
