E1e Sports Mats Spod Club Faces Shaeup by Dged Ruege
Riders Look for Keen Hitters
In Squad of FIushy FieIders
By GEORGE e Huber

Lack of hitting is big worry for
practically all high school baseball
coaches now running their charges
through preseason practice, and
Roosevelt is no exception.
Coach Hank Littman, back with
the Rough Riders after nearly four
years of war service, is more than
happy over the fancy fielding he's
getting in all departments. Pitch
ing. at least. may be adequate and
possibly shade better, but the way
his players step up to the plate and
then sit down again with practi-
cally nothing having happened is
giving Littman headaches.
Numerically, the Riders are strong.
Already the squad has been cut
from the original IS candidates to
35 and further slices are in order
this week. Any player who can hit
will stay, and even some of the
numerous nonhitters will be retained
because of their defensive brilliance
Littman has plenty of good in
fielders, although they do lack ex-
perience. They don't look green.
though, and are turning in numer-
Gus fielding gems in intrasquad
games. He has two men for prac-
tically every position with the big
gest battle going on around third
base. Leading candidates for this
hot corner are Frank Marcellino,
brother OF former Roosevelt
pitcher, and Joe Friedman.
Two newcomers, George Saunders
and Buck Sledge, are after first
base, Jess Houston is pushing the
veteran Benny Weisman for second
base and Stan Singer and Chris
Perantino head shortstop bidders.
The outfeld starting chores may be
handled by three of these four
George Theophilos. Buck Tolson,
Jim Houston and Irv Shear.
In the battery department, Lift
man has veteran Bernie Mead as
probably his No. starting pitcher
followed by Roland Woodfieid and
Buddy Vogel. with Lew Timber. a
stocky boy and owner Of one Of
lHe Deot llliONilS dIlIlS Heicdoout
among schoolboys. as backstop.
Timber may be counted on for
some long-range hitting, although
as yet he hasn't shown the bat
ting eye he had last year, and the
outfield also should supply some
punch. At least, Littman has hopes.
But unless there's a sudden change
of style, the infielders will get thei,
positions on fielding skill rather
than batting ability.

.Jaycees And The Festival

DIR. W. Houston Moore chose wisely
when he urged the Junior Chamber Of
Commerce to sponsor an azalea festival
next spring. The Jaycees have estab-
lished an especially creditable record in
the past three years in public affairs,
at considerable sacrifice to the members
in time and effort but with proportion
ate benefit to the community.
If they take on the sponsorship of
the festival the first important step to-
ward success will have been taken.
Thereafter one of the chief concerns will
be adequate publicity so that the popu-
lations of North Carolina and neighbor-
ing states may be fully acquainted we'll
in advance with the program and plan
to attend before other engagements
that could prevent many from coming
are made.
Southeastern North Carolina has
been conducting a fishing rodeo this
month which "caught on" as nothing
else has done in many a long year. Pub
licity has been a potent agent in bring
ing anglers and by the same token has
resulted in the regions attracting at
tention in far places. The press of many
states has devoted much space to it.
The rodeo's success has been SO out
standing that similar events in future
years, and on an expanding scale, are
q foregone conclusion.
The same sort of promotion, not in
detail Of course but in scope, will do as
well for the azalea festival and it too
can become an annual event along with
the rodeo-the one in the springtime,
other In the autumn-and all southeast
srn North Carolina be advantaged, not
only by visiting throngs, but also by
recognition Of the area as a particu-
larly inviting place for sportsmen and
for lovers of natures lavish beauty at
its floral best.
The festival is figured as a $4,000
event. It will be worth a million to Will
mington and the entire area.

all he had to do was lead. one
