What's Cookin'
By Roy Cook

Craig Keen died Wednesday night without learning
how his favorite softball team came out in the Senior class
A softball league playoff series.
The 12-year-old lad was the official hat how IF tho c;+n
Optical softball team and had followed the team for sew.
eal years. He started the season as the bat boy and was
very proud of his uniform. But sickness overlook the young.
ser during the first of the season and he was not allowed
to see his team in action.
Craig was also one of the favorite boosters of the
Wilmington Pirates and was proud of the fact he was per.
mitted to enter the Pirate dugout. He called most of the
players by their first names and could tell you their batting
or fielding average on a moments notice.
His father, Walter Keen, acted as announcer for the
home games of the Pirates and like his son. was a boz :ter
Of the BUGS.
When the youngster became i'll lie was carried tn the
hospital and always looked forward to Saturday night, for
he depended on Lou Essick and the WGNI airlanes to bring
him the games each Saturday night. He remained an ardent
fan and never gave up. He fought a valiant fight.
He was a proud youngster when he was presented
autographed baseballs from the Washington Senators, New
York Yankees, Wilmington Pirates and one from the UNI
pres of the Tobacco State League.
The .%youngster was like any other boy his age. He
loved baseball, football and other sports. He was holder of
ticket number one of the Pirate Brigade BOYS club Knot
Hole gang. An active participant of the Brigade club. Craig
attended the annual camp trips of that organization.
Craig served as a member of the traffic squad at Tiles
ton school. When the school term started this year, Craig
was confined to his room. But the teachers and students
at TIeston did not forget the smiling face of Craig. He
was named an honorary captain of the schoolboy traffic
squad.
To sum up the activities of this youngster can easily
be done in five simple words. "He was Just a boy."
And along with hundreds of friends of the boy and his
parents we offer our sympathies. Craig will be missed at
home, on the streets and Fairgrounds of this city. But his
father will probably miss him more than all the rest. For
Craig Keen was a Fathers boy"
His dad took him fishing, to baseball games and other
sports events. Being an active member of the Brigade Club
and later a member of the Senior Fraternity, Walter Keen
was interested in boys work and he passed this interest to
his son.
It's hard for a family to realize that their young son
has left them, but they can remember him as one of the
best loved young boys in the local sports scene.
Almost all the spectators and participants of various
sports in this city knew Craig Keen and they all loved him.
Yes, Craig Keen will be missed.

Clemson took the return kickoff

in preparation for Saturdays
battle with undefeated Wake
Forest, there was no contact
work for Dukes Blue Devils to-
day but they did not go through
another long session.
They looked again at Wake
Forest plays as run by the Junior
varsity outfit in dummy scrim-
mage and then ran their own
plays in an offensive drill.
Captain Benny Cittadino, in
jured end, took part in some OF
the work and he may be able to
see part-time action against the
Deacons although he will not be
in top shape.
The report from Wake Forest
that the Deacons are determined
to take this one is no surprise
to Wallace Wade's young team.
All the Blue Devils know this
will be their toughest game OF
the season thus far but they are
hoping to be able to stay in the
game with the tough Deacon out
fit.
A final short drill is sched-
uled for the Blue Devils tomor-
row before they move over to

Leo DurOcher Faces Five Legal "Umpires''

LOS ANGELES, (P)-Baseball manager Leo Durocher, who sell dom squabbles with more than one umpire at a time and then never wins, today found himself lined up against five Los Angeles law yers including some of the towns best known legal talent.
 The panel of barristers was ap- pointed by Superior Judge George A. Dockweiler to advise him whe- ther loquacious Leo, pilot of the Brooklyn Dodgers, should be held in contempt of court for a wither- ing statement the baseball man is- sued to the press Wednesday in connection with his controverted marriage to actress Larraine Day.
 Duroche, commenting on Dock weiler's summoning Miss Day to show cause whether her recent in terlocutory decree from J. Ray Hendricks should not be invali- dated, called the jurist an "un- ethical and publicity conscious ser want of the people" and attributed to him a ''holier than thou" atti- tude.
 Joseph Scott, 79, dean of the Los Angeles bar and a member of Judge Dockweiller'S committee, knows some harsh words himself.

 Moreover, Taber reiterated a previous statement that "it is my plan" to balance the current fed eral budget.
 Why wait until next year," he asked, adding he intended to achieve that goal by cutting back appropriations made by the last Democratic Congress.
