SEAL SALE GOAL
NEAR 20 PERCENT
Only IA Days Before Cam
paign Comes To Close;
Contributions Tagging

WHITEVILLE, Dec. 11-Ap
proximately 700 which repre-
sents 20 per cent of Columbus
county's goal of $500 was re
ported today by the office OF the
Christmas Seal Sale Committee.
With only IA more days until
the campaign comes to a close,
members of the committee said
the present rate of contributions,
if it continues, would place the
total at less than half of what
will be necessary to inaugurate
a campaign against tuberculosis
with any chance of success.
However, the bangle cam
paign now in progress in the
white schools and the vigorous
drive inaugurated this week
among the colored population of
the county are expected to swell
the sales.
Willard G. Cole, chairman of
the seal sale committee reter-
ated his appeal for a generous
response to the letters which
have gone out. Buy the seals
which were enclosed in the
letter and each of you will share
in the expanded program which
will mean so much in the battle
with this dreaded killer Of man
kind" he said.
Local committeeman in each
of the school districts are now
conducting the bangle sales
]. w. Campbell, principal of
the Whiteville Negro schools, is
heading the Seal Sales among
the colored people. He started
off the drive with a radio ad-
dress over WENC Monday and
has already received encourag-
ing reports with respect to
reaching the goal of $500 which
was set as the quota for the
Negro people of the county.
The success or failure of the
countrywide effort to carry
on the tuberculosis battle will
be determined within the next
few days, Seal Sale committee
men said.

Three propositions for a change

Durocher Sees Way
To Stymie Bettors

HAVANA, Mar. 5. - Before
taking OF for Caracas, Venezuela,
to engage the New York Yankees,
Manager Leo Durocher of the
Dodgers, sharply conscious of
the pressure exerted against him
in certain places, said he was
opposed to the practice of giving
out the name of the starting
pitcher "a hours ahead of time.
II think it's spur to gambling
and the gambler" he said. "Of
course, newspapermen ask me,
and I give it to them if I know.
But If a rule was laid down
against naming the pitcher un-
til a few minutes before game
time, I think baseball would be
healthier for it."
Durocher conceded that close
study Of pitching rotation and
tactics could make for correct
guesses more often than not.
But he says gamblers need time
before making odds, and if they
are not sure Of the pitcher
they're that much the worse
for It.

Is Surprise Star Of
U. 5. Net Tourney
By the Assoeiafad Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 5.-Fred kova-
leski, who came into the national
indoor tennis championships un-
heralded, unseeded and undaunted,
was still very much unbeaten as
play moved into the quarterlnals
today-to the complete surprise of
tournament officials and Kovaleski
himself.
The 22-year- -old former para
trooper occupied the spot in the
round of eight which the Seeding
Committee had reserved for Frank
Shields, the erstwhile International
ist who was playing in the finals
at Wimbledon when Kovaleski was
in knee pants.
When the two matched strokes
on the hardwood floor of the 7th
Regiment Armory yesterday, Kova-
leski proceeded to score an upset,
Ga, 36, 6-4.
IT knew Shields was plenty tough" J"
said Kovaleski shortly after the
match. II had hoped to beat him,
but honestly I didn't think I had
a chance"
Student at w. & M.
Now a student at William and
Mary College in Virginia, Kovaleski
comes from Hamtramck, Mich, the
Detroit suburb which produces so
many promising young net stars.
Although playing in his first in
door meet, he is no stranger to
championship tennis. He went to
the finals in the National Public
Parks tournament at Memphis,
Tenn, last August before losing to
Dick Hanline of Minneapolis in five
sets.
Kovaleski also played in the Ma
tional outdoor. Championships at
! Forest Hills last summer, but had
the misfortune to draw Tom Brown
Of San Francisco, the Nations
fourth ranking player, in the open
ing round and bowed out after three
close sets.
A six-footer with powerful serv-
ice and a strong backhand, Kov-
aleski made three combat jumps
while serving with the 18th Air
borne Division in the Pacific. He is
listed as No. q in the national
tennis rankings.

The young man again has his

on the final day of the campaign.
That tussle meant little to the

recognized as one Of the Mats, more
promising hurlers. He was rated
the best pitcher on the club when
he joined the Navy in 1943, but that
isn't reflected in his 4-4 record that
year.
Ray was with the Mats only part
of that season, but he showed 'em
something. He lost two 16-inning
games and his first victory was no
easy achievement. He relieved
Dutch Leonard in the eighth in

a run for Ray in the 18th. Last year
he was in seven straight games as

Mats didn't get run for him.
