cats GET READY
FOR CHARLESTON
Locals Show Power And
Deception On Offense
In Scrimmage

Fresh from a SO to 10 victory
over the Whiteville High School
eleven, the Wildcat grid squad
pitched into high gear in prepare
ton for its game with the Charles
ton Bantams, at the Legion Sta.
dunn, October 1. The Charleston
team has also emerged victorious
in its first affray by defeating
the William Moultrie gridsters.
The Cat squad underwent a
heavy scrimmage with the first
string showing a keen offense as
it battered the second string with
an array of ground and aerial
plays. With the massive forward
wall Of the Cats opening huge
holes, the first string backs
scampered for four touchdowns
and also annexed four extra
points.
Randall 'The Bull" Dyches con-
tinued his powerful line smashing
by blowing through the second
string practically at will. Johnny
Symmes, who is running in the
tailback slot in the place Of the
injured Aud, got off for several
long runs during the course of
the scrimmage. jumping" Jack
Lowrimore, New H ver' S
mighty mite who scored three
touchdowns IN the Whiteville
game, stood out well in his Of
fensive play by showing his heels
to the second string many times
on his ightning-like reverses.
In the line, the fierce charging
Of bear-like Mig Snow dominated
the defense. In the tackle posi-
tons, Red Holt and John Hobbs
made their ground impossible,
by their bone crushing tackles
Of the opposing ball carriers.
The Wildcat passing attack was
in top form as Johnny Symmes
tossed the oval to the flankmen
and backs, with larky Dick Watts
turning in several nice snags of
the forwards.
Coach Rupert Bryan stated that
the injured leg of the Wildcat
sparkplug, Bill Aud, was respond
ing nicely to treatment and that
it is probable that he will see
action in the coming tilt with
Charleston.

there were several hundred
athletes in the service who
weren't in on the secret.
The Al Zarilla incident is what
prompted the selective service
board statement. Zarilla, a St.
Louis Browns player and a pre-
Pearl Harbor father, was reclas-
sified la and left for California
to take a war job.
It stands to reason that when
the draft of men IS to SO regard
less of dependents begins baseball
players must go in their turn the
same as any other citizen il
non-essential industry.
Not before others, not f t r
them. To the Selective Service Of
ficials a ball player is the same
as lawyer or a fellow who runs
a corner cigar store. That is, he
is engaged in vocation primarily
for his own gain.
To say that baseball might be
considered an essential industry
because it is necessary for morale
is just so much malarky. Since
when did Americans at home start
needing a new foundation under
their morale?
It is a grand game, and every
body wants to see it continue if
possible. but SO far as its being
essential to winning the war it is
a fifth wheel, and nobody realizes
that better than those who con-
duct it.
Whenever we hear that word
morale associated with anything
at home we think of the cartoon of
the two mud-smeared doughboys
in a fox hole, with one of them
scribbling on a piece of paper and
remarking: Guess I'd better write
the folks and cheer them up a
little; I hear the morale b k
there is pretty low
The boys who actually are doing
the fighting are doing better than
all right without major l e a que
games to watch, although they do
get a tremendous boot out of fol-
lowing the league races. You
couldn't say, however, that they'd
fight less hard if they didn't have
the races to follow.
We're getting away off the track
here. What we started out to talk
about was just the fact by no
stretch of the imagination could
you term baseball an essential in
dustry, and that the case of Zarilla
is notable only because he is the
first ball player ordered to get out
of the game and into a war job,
Or else.
If the draft officials really want
ed to get tough they could order
all ball players to get into essen
hal industries, but that would be
as unfair and I'm American as
picking on any other one class of
citizens in business for their per-
Bonal gain alone.
The board might tell each ball
player as his number comes up
for Redistribution to go to work
In a defense plant, the same as it
would tell any other person en-
gagged in a non-essential industry.
But the chances of any one father
being drafted are not too great,
and we have an idea there will be
enough left to insure the continu.
ance Of baseball next year. And,
we might add, we sincerely hope

He sees things this way: Russia
is trying to get us to jump into the

ready. Also, she is trying to get to
Berlin before We can get there.
He also thinks it is a hell of a note
for us to have anything to do with
Europe, anyway; above all. we must
not commit ourselves to having any
thing to do with that place after the
war. Let the world clearly under
stand that, he says.

their plan.
That, of course, Is precisely the

1t.
He thinks there is no such thing
as isolation any more, and what do
those four Senators mean by dis
turbing national unity and starting
a bitter debate at time like this by
saying there can be no such thing
as isolation any more?
He says England is going to desert
us after she beats Hitler. He says
Russia is going to walk out on us

But on this question of us making
promises to our Allies, he says, well,
If they don't trust us, then what's
the use?
And anyway, he says, you can't
set up any plan for avoiding wars In

can't avoid wars. Wars are inevi-

Ing accomplished.
This column has defended Con-
gress when it has been under

a thing easily overlooked by the
American people. The House
showed itself unable to legislate
on subject that is of vital i'm
portance-a subject that unless it
Is dealt with soon may leave a
chaotic condition when income
taxpayers now 100000 in
number-find at the conclusion
of the war their incomes are
lowered to an extent they cannot
pay in a lean year their taxes
due on fat year.
The immediate job of the Ways
and Means Committee is to
tackle again the task of bringing
into the House a tax-payment
method which a majority Of that
body will support. It is incon-
ceivable that it cannot do this,
even If it means casting aside
pride of authorship.
Would Not Go on Record.
Because the House voted first
one way and reversed itself, and
then reversed itself second
time, a parliamentary situation
arose under which it was impos-
sible to vote on other substitutes
for the so-called Carlson -Ruml
bill or the Ways and Means Com
mittee bill. This does not mean,
however, that a majority Of the
members would not have sup
ported some substitution ex-
ample the Robertson-Forand bill
which would make from 80 to
96 per cent of the taxpayers
current.
It was evident from the crazy
quilt voting in the House that a
majority Of the members did not
wish to 60 on record as favoring
the Carlson bill, which embodied
the Ruml plan. 1t was even
more evident that majority was
against the committee bill, which
merely presented an opportunity
to the taxpayers of paying two
years income taxes in the pres
ent year, in order to become cur
rent. Under the present high
rates of taxation-With a threat
of still more taxes to come this
year-this would be an impossi-
bility for millions OF the people.
