Marion Sports Writer
Graduates At u. N. c..

| Jim Klutz, son of Rev. and Mrs.
T. L. Klutz Of Marion, will graduate
from the University of North Caro-
lima in June. He first entered the
University in 1887, but there was
big gap in the IL year span be-
tween the time he entered and his
graduation. That was between Sep
ttember 1941 and September Of
1916. During three years and two
months Of those four years he was
in the Army.
In the fall of 1888 Jim wrote
sports for the Alumni Review and
also began free-lancing. While with
the news bureau he had become
known to many sports editors, and
he decided to try to sell them syn
dicated column. Soon his column
was appearing three times week
in the Greensboro News, Winston
Salem Journal, Asheville Times, and
Charlotte News.
In time he added to his list of
clients American Lawn Tennis Mag
azine, Richmond Times Dispatch,
Atlanta Constitution, and wrote
special assignments for the Wash
ington Times-Herald and other
Eastern newspapers.
From childhood, Klutz never
wanted to do anything but write
sports.
When he entered the army he
thought his sports-writing days had
been interrupted for the duration.
But he ended up in public relations,
and as scribe for the army has
had plenty of opportunities to COW
er competitive sports and to write
features on a succession of athletes.
He came out Of the Army in No
vember, 1914 and in December took
full-time job at the news bureau
in Chapel Hill. He had no idea of
reentering the University, but the
more he thought about G. I. bene-
fits the more he wanted to go to
school again, and in late Septem-
Der, 1945 he became G. 1. student.
He became candy seller, ticket
taker for the Carolina theatre and
picked up other odd jobs including
baby sitting, atheletic program SELL
ing, soda-jerking.
According to an article in the
Chapel Hill Weekly, he hasn't yet
lined up regular job to begin, be-
cause, like almost everybody else
in Chapel Hill, he's writing novel.

BLOOD PROGRAM
UNDERWAY HERE

The American National Red Cross
has inaugurated project of collect
ing blood throughout the nation for
the purpose of supplying blood to
the hospitals in order that there
may be an ample supply for all pa
tients needing blood transfusions
without cost to the patients.
The Red Cross has set up blood
centers throughout the nation for
the purpose Of collecting blood to
be used as outlined above, and each
regional center will distribute blood
to the hospitals in that area as the
occasion may demand.
The American Red Cross has pro-
vided a number Of bloodmobiles,
which will make eight periodic Wis
it's to the counties in each area.
Marion is located in the Asheville
Regional Blood Center, and the mo-
bile will make it. first trip to Ma
rion on June 8. Reverend M. o.

eral chairman for this work. R. W.

curement chairman for the county,
and Mrs. J. E. Evans has been NAM
ed voluntary service chairman. i

erend C. C. Gross will be in charge
of the procurement work for this
locality, and he urges all public
spirited citizens, who are in good
health and physically fit, living in
this community, to make a blood
donation on this date. He expressed
the hope that he would be able to
provide through his donors a mini
mum of rs pints of blood. If this
goal is to be reached, it will be ne
cessary for approximately 125 don
ors to be processed. DR.. George

Marauders Blast 1po Home Runs
And Defeat Lincolnton 1876

The Marion Marauders moved up
another notch in the baseball world
by defeating the Lincolnton Cardi-
nails thirteen to six in game play
ed on the high school athletic field
Tuesday night. The game was a nip
and tuck affair until the last of the
seventh when Johnny Lanning's
fighting crew staged rally that
brought in six run off seven hits.
Lincolnton used three chunkers
in an effort to curb the Marauders
and were successful in tying the
game in the seventh for a few brief
minutes; however, in the bottom
half of the same frame the local
team ran wild to bring in six addi-
tional runs. Richards started the
game for the visitors, gave way to
Glover in the sixth, who in turn re-
tired in favor Of Harmon in the
hot seventh.
Big Red Riddick was on the hill
for the Marauders until the seventh,
but took a walk when the Cards
knotted the score, with Higgins
Duncan doing the relief work. Dun
can received credit for winning the
game. Glover was charged with the
defeat for Lincolnton.
The Marauders blasted out two
home runs. Outfielder Tom Cumby
sent the first one high over the left
field fence with no ducks on the
pond to count for single run in
the fifth. Art Billy line-drived an
other over the fence at the same
spot, Marion's second homer of the
evening. This time one mate was on
base. Billie's circuit blow came in
the fateful seventh when Glover
and Harmon were being shelled all
over the place. Beam pecked out a
triple in the same inning which
came within an ace of being a
homer.
Art Billie, playing second base
for Lanning almost had a perfect
night at bat as he collected four hits
out of five trips to the platter. The
first four times up connected for
safeties, but struck out his last time
at bat. Bonnetti and Beam were
close on his heels, each with three
for five. Buss Hufstettler and catch
er Duncan had the best night at bat
for the Cardinals, each with three
for five.
Lincolnton continued to fight
hard until the very end. The picture
began to darken a bit in the ninth
as Duncan walked the first two men
to face him, but he went to work
in earnest and struck out the next
three to end the game.
The line score:
Lincolnton 900 201 300 10 5

State Supreme
Court Uphold
Conviction OF
Willie McGte
SET JUNE 3RD AS DAY
OF EXECUTION

The Mississippi Supreme Court
after twice reversing his eonvic-
ton of lower courts, affirmed
the death sentence of Willie Nc
Gee by the Jones County Circuit
Court, in a decision handed down
Wednesday.
June 3rd was set as the day of
execution.
MCGEE was first convicted and
sentenced to death after being
indicted on the charge of rape of
Laurel white woman.
The case attracted national at
tention when the Civil Rights
Congress came to the defense of
the condemned man. Recently I'M.
der the auspices of the Congress
his mother made a tour of the
larger cities of the east and
north in order to raise funds to
continue his defense.
Attorney John R. Poole, con-
Quoting the defense of MCGEE
has indicated that the case will
be appealed to the U. S. Supreme
Court. ~

LOCAL BRANCH NEECP
SEEKS FUNDS FOR q. s.
COURT APPEAL

Albert Lee, an honor student
and graduate of Southern Christ
ian Institute at Edwards, who
was arrested here only four days
after returning home following
his graduation on a charge of
attempted rape, and sentenced
to 1S years Voluntarily returned
to Jail here Saturday pending ac-
ton upon his case by the State
Supreme Court.
In a decision handed down Mon
day, the State Supreme Court
upheld the conviction of the low.
er court, which in a second trial
sentenced the youth to 20 years.
The two years being added af-
ter Judge Hugh Gillispie before
whom the case was heard charg-
ed the youth with perjury when
he failed to pick out of a line
up of city detectives the officers
he charged had beaten and threat.
ened him in obtaining a confes-
sion which the youth subsequent
ly repudiated.
The second trial of the youth
took place after the case had
been reversed and remanded by
the United States Supreme Court
The case is again set for ap-
peal to the United States Su.
preme Court.
The Lee case is now being sup
ported by the local Branch of the
NAACP. The Lee family has al
ready exhausted its resources in
defense of the youth. Officials
of the Branch say that funds are
badly needed to again take the
case to the United States SUI
preme Court and any contribu-
tions will be greatly appreciated.
Contributions should be sent to
