BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. IS
P-Personable Charley Hurth,
New Orleans Pelican general man.

organized baseball was named
Wednesday president of the South
ern Baseball Association.
Hurth, Al and a native of Ports

Bill Evans Evans resigned re-
Gently to become vice president
of the Detroit Tigers.
The New Orleans baseball exc
cutive told sports writer's his cleo
ton as head of the Class IA
league was IAN entire surprise
to me-"
In announcing their selection,
the loop directors said they felt it
wise to take someone from within
the league" He was given a three
year contract at u%ndisclosed terms.
Hurth said later the contract
called for the same base paw re-
celved by Evans, plus a modified
bonus arrangement" Evans was
reported to have received a base
salary of $10,O 900 last year and a
bonus of $11, 900 to S12, 900 based
On Southern attendance of approx
mately 1900, 900.
Sports writer's estimated Hurth
would receive a bonus of around
$1,000 to So, 900 for comparable at
tendance.
The new league president said
ne planned to move Southern head
quarters from Memphis to New
Orleans Immediately if office
space can be obtained in the
Louisiana City. Otherwise. he add
ed, the transfer would be made at
the end of the 1947 season.

Freshman Powerhouse Ex-
pected To Be Stronger
Next Season

RALEIGH. Jan. Is - Up From
the banks of the Wabash to the
heart of the Tar Heelia is quite a
hop, but a band of N. c. State Col
lege cagers has completed the
transformation in a manner that
offers little comfort to opponents.
Everett Case, making his debut
as N. C. State basketball coach
after a lengthy career as an Indian
high school mentor. appears to be
cooking up a combine that will
challenge seriously the Southern
Conference reign of Duke and North
Carolina.
With a freshman : nominated
squad, Case seems more to be
building for next year than for any
immediate championships. How
ever, just how much progress he
has made should be ascertained
Saturday night when his charges
tangle with Duke at Durham.
Their last meeting came il the
Southern Conference tournament a
year ago, and a decided underdog
N. C. State team gave Duke a ter
rifle battle before bowling out in
overtime.
That was an N. C. State team
that had lost more than half its
games and did not qualify for the
tournament until the closing days
of the campaign.
This year the team is sitting
atop the conference heap with two
straight victories. In winning II of
10, the Red Terrors have not been
beaten by a college opponent.
Their losses to Cherry Points
Marines and the Winston-Salem
Hanes Hosiery are balanced by
victories over the same clubs.
Spaked by its hoosier hotshots,
State toured the midwest success
fully during the holidays last
month, but Tar Heel fans remain
ed to be convinced - they wanted
to see what would happen when the
conference firing got under way.
Case and Co., opened the confer
ence campaign in Charlotte over
the past weekend against a scrap
Ply Davidson team, bringing a
squad of ten players eight were
from the midwest and six from
Indiana - with junior guard Leo
Katkaveck of Manchester, Conn,
the only non freshman.
Not a man on the team is under
the six-foot mark, with Bob Hahn,
245-pound sub center from Ann
Arbor, Mich, the big boy at SO.
Case used only six men in easing
to a 53-48 victory, playing without

NEW YORK, Jan. 15-W.H-

Wednesday II have not definitely

C0RC0RAN WILL
NOT FILE SUIT
Golf Executive Says He
Will Forgive And Forget
Fight Incident

RICHMOND, Calf, Jan. 15-B
Fred Corcoran, the professional
golf executive who was punched in
the face last week by player Dick
Metz, decided Wednesday to "for-
give and forget the whole bust
ness. THE whole incident is closed
so far as I am concerned" said
the tournament bureau manager
of the Professional Golfers Associ-
alton. 1T was unfortunate. The
game of golf is much bigger than
any individual connected with it.
My job is to arrange the tourna-
ment program and we have the
biggest one yet coming up. l hold
no malice toward Metz and I am
taking no action against him."
After he was struck and knock
ed down last Friday night in Car
mel with a blow that caused him
to be hospitalized over night, Cor
Coran said he was contemplating
a civil suit against Metz for "un-
provoked assault"
Metz, Arkansas City, Kas., pro-
fessional, admitting striking the
blow and expressed his regrets
saying he had reacted "spontane-
ously" when he though Corcoran
had made an angry gesture to-
ward him.
Although he was believed to be
staying in San Francisco, Metz
could not be located. He had not
filed an entry Wednesday for the
Richmond open tournament which
starts Thursday morning although
he has until Thursday to do so.
The professional golfing clan has
known the two have not been on
friendly terms for years but facts
behind the fued have not been
aired publicly by either, except
in generalities. At Pebble Beach
last week where he connected in
the Bing Crosby tournament, Metz
declined further comment after
the statement in which he accepted
responsibility for the single punch
of the alteration. 1--WE talked
enough already" he said.
Among the prominent PGA
members here for the tournament,
however, Jimmy Demaret of Hous.
ton, Tex, paid his tribute to the
