Club Owners Critical Oh
"Happy's" Handling
OF Situation

MIAMI, Fla. April 2. - UP) -
Major league club owners, obvious
ly worried over the inroads which
the Mexican league has made in
their player personnel, were re-
ported ready to appeal to Baseball
Commissioner A. B. Chandler for
stern action tonight as additional
players revealed that they had re-
ceived attractive offers from the
wealthy Pasquel brothers.
Although none of the club owners
would come out and say so. several
were known to be critical of the
manner i'll which Chandler, has
handled the situation thus far
Chandler announced, and later re.
iterated baseball's stand, that all
players who jumped to the Mexi-
can league would be barred from
organized baseball in the United
States for five years after they con-
Guided playing in Mexico.
President Branch Hickey of the
Brooklyn Dodgers came the closest
to placing the problem in Chand-
ler's lap. Commenting on the action
of Mickey Owen, his star catcher
on jumping to the Mexican league
yesterday, Hickey, at Daytona
Beach said:
eff he (Owen) wants to come
back to the Dodgers he would have
! to do so through the office of Com
missioner Chandler"
1t appeared that the problem may
become the biggest one the com
missioner office will have to solve
since it was established after the
Black Sox scandal in 1919.

Star Sports Edi.. r

Wilmington's Pirstes viii con-
duct player try-outs at American
Legion stadium starting April 18th
and running through to April 22nd,
club officials announced last
night.
The tryouts win be held at
American Legion stadium and will
be conducted under the supervi-
sion of Manager Stan Katkaveck
of the BUGS.
Out-of-town players participating
in the tryouts will have to pay
their own expenses, club officials
said. However, if signed by the
Pirates they will be compensated.
One Of the local clubs biggest
worries - transportation was
solved yesterday when the BUGS
purchased a bus at New Bern from
the Seashore Transportation COM
pany.
Commenting on the sale of the
29-passenger vehicle, L. M. Po'
lock, co-owner of the Pirates told
the Star, 1T was given to us al
a very reasonable price and we
are indebted to the Seashore COM
pany for their wonderful gesture.
They told US that they were in
terested in baseball. Jack Lee,
president of the New Bern club
was also very helpful in helping
us obtain bus. Now I think
we are already to 60 for the COM
ing season."
Business Manager Bert Kite an.
nounced earlier yesterday that
three local players, al recently
discharged from service, are try.
ing out with the Pirates.
They are Stephen Die1, Walter
NJ Butler and U. Barlow, all in
fielders.
Kite stressed that veterans
would be given every chance tc
play with the local team and said
| that he has several other pro-
specs planning to train with the
BUGS this season but that he would
not be able to disclose their nar-e
until later in the month.
The county board of commission
ers toured American Legion stadi-
UNI yesterday afternoon with Of
ficials of the club and it would ap-
pear that the prospects for the
erection of a baseball fence on a

Corcoran explained that, due to
the ragged condition of some of the
courses the pros played over dur
ing the winter, it had been neces-
sary to make some concessions
but denied fatty that Nelson,
Hogan, Snead and the others had
been improving their lies on the
fairway for more than year.
Certainly there has been nothing
in the practice rounds Of recent
days to indicate that the boys can
not go right on wrecking par over
the 6,8O0-yard Masters course. Mel.
sons IS of yesterday saw every
putt holed out. Today Nelson, 1C
pounds heavier than when he quit
the winter tour, teamed with jug
McSpaden to shoot best ball of 2e
for the first nine holes - or eight
under par. Between them they
used only eight puts, McSpader
chipping in on one holes.
Horton Smith who, with Johnny
Bulla, teamed to his financial sor
row against this latest outburst Of
super golf, said ruefully: '1t sent
Bulla to the practice rounds ano

DEFENDING CHAMPS
STOPPED BY CATS
Wick, Collie, Rogers Pac.
Brogdenites To Open
ing Victory
BY GENE WARREN
Star Sports Writer

With Herman Wick pitching six
hit ball and striking out eight Will
son batters, the New Hanover High
school Wildcats rang up the CUR
tain on the 1916 season yesterday
afternoon by posting to vic
tory over the Wilson Cyclones, de-
Tending state champions at Ameri-
can Legion stadium.
Wick was aided by the hard-hit-
ting Kenneth Rogers and Louis Col
lie in the Cats diamond debut, as
Rogers batted in three runs and
Collie knocked long homerun into
left field.
The Cyclones, victors over Colds
boro last week, 20 to 0, showed
brief flashes Of their hitting reputa-
ton in the first two innings, but
Jay Clark, their smuggling star was
wiffed three OF his four appear
ances at the plate by Vick's fast
ball to hamper theeir attack.
The Cyclones jumped of TO a
one to 0 lead in the first inning
when Clyde Sullivan singled, stole
both second and third, and cross
ed the plate on Thorpe Smith S
double into right field.
The Tabocco City lads added two
more tallies to the count in the
second frame, making the margin
3 to in their favor. Watson
grounded out to Kennel at third,
but Ernest Horne raped one
dropped a pitch. Charles Anthony
to second when Tinkey Rogers
dropped a pitch. Charts Anthony
flied out to center, but Marshal
Long batted in Horne with hit.
Sullivan made his second straight
clean oingle of the Gay, bringing
in Long for the last run of the
inning
Donald Edwards error on Sulli-
vans drive to right proved enough
to permit Horne to score in the
fourth period, which was the last
run the Cyclones made.
Coach Leon Brogden's charges
found their batting eye in the fifth
inning in which five Wilmington
runs were scored, giving the locals
to 4 advantage. J. C. Price lead
off with a single, Collie walked,
and TTkey Rogers loaded the
bases on a neat bunt that was
dropped by the Wilson first base
man on a confusing play. Tall Ken
meth Rogers then angled hit into
left field, which Watson Of the
| Cyclones let bounce past him.
] Three Wildcats romped in on this
hit ard error, Rogers pulling up on
Dunk Futrelle, and Bubba Sykes
son pitcher was removed. Herman
Wick then grounded out to the
first sacker, but Rogers scored.
The new hurle- of the Cyclones,
Erwin Page, could rot find the
plate, walking Donald Edwards,
Dunk Futrele, and 'Bubba' Sykes
in order. Tunney Brooks, catcher
for Wilson, attempted to nab Ed
wards off third base, but Home
failed to grab his throw, letting Ed
wards come in with run number 5.
Fennell and price flew out to CEN
ter field to end the big inning Of the
Wildcats.
Louis Collie closed the Cats
scoring in the sixth frame with his
tremendous four Dagger over the
left fielder's head.
The triumph for the Wildcats
marked the first time they have
defeated Wilson at the diamond
game in three years.

Mirage Looks
 Like Bomb Blast

A press association queiied Kodiak after Sundays atom bomb blast to ask if there were any manifestations of the blast in this area, but none were re- ported.
 However, MT. and Mrs. Tom Nachand, who were on Uyak Bay on a boat trip that day, re- port seeing a mirage that MT. Nachand is anxious to compare with pictures of the atom bomb blast,
 He said the mirage appeared to be a mountain shaped mass of land, topped by an enormous umbrella-shaped cloud of sm, ke. The mirage was first called to their attention by two home- steaders on Uyak bay who said they had watched it for seveca. hours.
