Many Names
Put On Books
On Saturday

Registration OF voters for the May
25 primary picked up sharply last
Saturday, according TO reports from
registrars in the several precincts Of
the city and county, A. W. Gholson,
Jr., chairman of the Vance County
Board of Elections, said today. He
had no definite figures, but said in
formation that had come in indicated
hundreds of names were added.
A new registration throughout the
county is being held this year, by
order of the elections board, which
decided on that course rather than
to undertake purge Of the reglstra-
ton books itself.
All old books are being discarded
in favor Of the new ones, and no per-
sons will be allowed to vote in the
primaries unless his or her name IS
enrolled anew at this time.
The books close next Saturday,
May II, at sunset. Registrars will be
at polling places in their respective
precincts on Saturday, and in the
meantime any one not already quail
fled may get his or her name on the
books by contracting the registrar
wherever he may be found.
Party leaders are calling on cit
liens in general to make sure they
are qualified TO vote. 1t is expected
that many new names will be added
this week. Some estimates have been
that the total Of qualified voters will
be less than on the old books, due to
the fact that new registration IS
in progress.

By DILLON GRAHAM
 Sports Editor AP Feature Service

It's a pretty big jump from Class A. B, c or D to the major leagues and so most of the rockies going to spring training from these cir cults are out for the ride and experience.
 At that, one of the biggest sen sations of last years spring drills was a kid from one of these lower leagues-Pete Reiser They just couldn't get Pete out in the eX- hibition games when he was III the Brooklyn lineup. However. Reiser was sent back-as most of them will be-for further season. ing. He was with Elmira. Hes with the Dodgers again at Clear water
 Another Elmira youngster, George w. Staller, attracted Skipper Leo Durocher's attention the other day. A left-hand hitting outfielder, Staller led the Eastern league with .336 In 1937 he batted .354 with Beatrice, Neb., and in 1888 hit .366 for Dayton. He's likely prospect but Brooklyn has an over-abun- dance of flychasers.
 Many With Washington
 Washington has a flock of these junior leaguers Owners Clark Grlf- filth has kind words for Rene Mon- teagudo, a southpaw pitcher, who won Is for Springfield; Pitcher Wal ter Matherson from Charlotte, and Infielders Ed Leip from Spring field and Morris Aderholt from Charlotte.
 Other Senator recruits include Pitchers Paul Gehrman from AL bany. William Holland, Gilbert Torres and Early wynn from Charlotte, Sid Hudson from San ford.

Hal Quick from Charlotte, Teddy Ratenski and James Vernon from Springfield, and Outfielders Elmer Gideon from Orlando, Roberto Ortiz from Charlotte. and Alex Pitko from Greenville.
 Frankie Frisch thinks Infielder Frank William Gustine from Gads- den has possibilities. The Pirates also have Infielder Gene Handley, Lees brother, from Hartford, and Outfielder Floyd Ed Yount from Portsmouth.
 Yankees Try Pitcher
 The Yankees will try Pitcher Ed Stanceau from Binghamton. ; Others include Pitcher Herman Hansmann from Anniston and h. fielder Lou Letter of Jonesboro with the White Sox; Pitcher Les ter McCrabb and Infielder Al Brancato of Williamsport an d Infielder Fred Chapman from Springfield with the Athletics; Pitchers Willard Howell of Wilkes Barre and Mike Naymick of Ce- dar Rapids; Catcher Lou Kahn of Palestine, Infielder Lou Rogino from Cedar Rapids, and Outfield- CTS Delbert Jones of Cedar Rap ids and Paul O'Dea of Springfield with Cleveland and Infielder Bob Repass, Decatur, with the Cards.
