WILLIAM OSCAR SAUNDERS,
who died in 1910, was the original
booster of the project to get Paul
Green to write a drama about the
early history on Roanoke Island.
and gave a lot of time and much
space in his newspaper, the Eliza
beth City Independent, to the
cause. He wished to see Roanoke
Island become a second Oberam-
mergau, and believed Roam o k e
Island might take the leading
parts year after year instead of
importing actors. The Lost Colony
now has very few local actors, save
in minor roles. Mr.. Saunders back
in 1926 was one of the strongest
hackers for the Wright Memorial,
which Lindsay Warren promoted
in Congress, and he organized the
Kill Devil Hills Memorial Asso-
citation which enlisted many ma
tional figures in the cause.
Carelessly overlooked for humid
reds of years by the writer's of
history books used as texts in
schools all over the nation, Roa-
noke Island nestled in this north
eastern corner of North Carolina
apart from the rest of the state
but not entirely aloof, while even
its own state forgot to remember
that on the shady shores of the
northern end of the island Sir
Walter Raleigh's settlers made the
first attempt to establish English
Colonies in America.
Yet for years, beginning back in
1894, Roanoke Island celebrated all
by itself and with the help of a
few outsiders on the anniversary
of the coming of the English Col
onies in America. %,l ..
But the momentous event that
transpired on the wooded shores of
this island three and a half CEN
turtles ago were of too much i'm
portance to the nation as a whole
to be kept within the confines of
a IA mile long island or within
a state the size of North Carolina.
The coming of the English meant
a lot to America as a whole, and
W. 0. Saunders of Elizabeth City
was among the first to realize the
just amount of attention due the
Island and its history and back
in 1881 he gave birth to the idea of
holding a celebration on national
scale.
The year 1884 was the 35Oth
anniversary Of the coming of the
English and "W. O."envisioned a
celebration for that year that
would rivet the attention of the
world on Roanoke Island and give
as the birthplace of English civ
iization in America. He interes-
ted Paul Green, Chapel Hill play
wright, and Prof. Fred Kock in
the idea, and the Roanoke Island
Historical Association was formed
to carry out Mr.. Saunders plan on
great scale. The Federal Govern
ment appointed a congressional
commission which returned high
ly favorable report, but the de-
preston of 1929 was still felt
strongly all over the country. So
the government refused to apbro-
pirate any funds and the state gov
eminent, hit hard by the same de-
preston, was unable to lend finan-
cial support to the enterprise. 1t
was not complete failure how
ever, for a weeks celebration that
did much to awaken interest in
North Carolina was held at Fort
Raleigh during the week of Aug
ust 18th.
w. o. and his contemporaries
considered the 1884 celebration or
ly stepping stone to greater
things and looked on ahead to

Horses See Movie
IOf Grand National
By the Associated Press

NOTTINGHAM, Eng, April 8.
Two SteeplechaSe horses owned
by Frank Cotton here have been
shown a movie of how the ex-
perts do it. The idea is that
they may pick up a few pointers
themselves and be better for it
in their next races.
Eastern Silver, an 11-year-old
and Black Diamond, an 8-year-
old, were taken to the Odeon
Theater yesterday for a showing
of the newsreels of last Satur-
days Grand National at Aintree
Both watched the screen in
tently and shuddered from time
to time as various horses went
down. The field Of Al starters
was cut to 10 at the finish.
Kathleen Hutchinson, secre-
tary to the theater manager
said: You could see the horses
enjoyed every minute of the pic
ture."
Owner Cotton said "the idea is
to see if it will help them when
they race again."
The film lasted IS minutes.
When it finished Black Dia-
mond was sweating as hard as if
he had just run the Grand Ma
tional. Eastern Silver just looked
thoughtful.

LOUISVILLE, April g.
Throughout the winter season
many horsemen kept a sharp eye
on Sub Fleet, Dixiana's lone ELI
|gible for the Kentucky Derby. The
watchfulness of these horsemen
shows they expect big things from
this colt as a 3-year-old.
Sub Fleets last race as a 2
year-old in 1851 was the Kentucky
Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill
Downs, which he won in impress
sive style. 1t was the colts sixth
race at 2 and following it Trainer
Jack Hodgins shipped the young
Ster to Florida. There the colt
was brought along slowly and
carefully for his Derby engage
ment.
Trainer Hodgins and Charles T.
Fisher. who owns Dixiana, expect
to see the colt back in action
shortly as the Kentucky spring
racing season gets under way. It
is likely that Sub Fleet will be
raced three times before the
Derby.
Sub Fleet first went into action
at Arlington Park late last July
when he won his debut in a
maiden race, winning by six
lengths. His next engagement was
in the Arlington Futurity. In that
race the colt bucked his shins,
was never a contender and he was
put on the sidelines until Ken
tucky's fall season.

HOUSTON. Tex, April 8.-The
Dick Wakefield story enters a new
chapter today, perhaps the last.
Wakefield, baseball's so-called
problem child" has received an
other opportunity to prove he be-
longs in the major leagues.
The New York Giants, in dire
strsights due to the loss of Out

ankle and the impending induc-
ton of Willie Mays, will give
Wakefield a tryout.
Manager Leo Durocher said to-
day Wakefield will play in the

I just want to look him over and
see what he's got"
Al Lopez, manager of the Cleve-
land Indians, said:

Derby. but, like Sub Fleet, also
won the Kentucky Jockey Club
Stakes. The Dixiana colt is out OF

second in the 1850 running OF
the Kentucky Oaks.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., April
3. - Sergt. Curt Simmons starts
down the Army's mastering out
production line today with his in
terrupted baseball career waiting
at the other end.
The 22-year-old southpaw ace
will rejoin the Phillies as soon as
he can complete his Army dis
charge and come to contract terms
with Owner Bob Carpenter. SIM
mons flew back to the United
States yesterday from Germany,
where he had been serving with
the 28th Infantry Division.
He stopped off at his home in
Egypt, Pa, last night and gave a
cautious appraisal of his playing
condition.
When you've laid off as long
as I have" Curt said a little
grimly, 1.-The old control amt what
1t used to be-"
II won't really know how long
1t will take me to get in condition
until 1 actually start to work. It's
the legs you have to work on"
Weighs About 100.
The young lefthander appeared
. little on the heavy side and ad-
mitted he tipped the scales at
100. He fastened to add that he
had filled out a lot and can
carry 1875 to 100 pounds without
any trouble at all"
Just how long it will be before
Simmons starts training for the
coming baseball grind wasn't clear.
It could take three days to turn
him back into a civilian-or he
could be pushed through in "a
hours.
There even was some doubt as
to the scene of his exit from Army
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-04-08

life. Curt said he was under
orders to report to Camp Kilmer,
but there was a possibility he may
be transferred to Indiantown Gap
pa Military Reservation for his
actual discharge. That's where
he was called back to active duty
with the 18th Division in Septem-
Der. 1950-in the hectic home
stretch of the National League
Ipennant drive.
Simmons had a record of II
wins and 8 losses at that point
and the Phillies were leading by
seven games. Simmons donned
his Army uniform and the club
slid almost off the pennant preci-
pice. The Phils barely managed
to win the flag on the final day
.of the season. They lost the
World Series to the New York
Yankees in four straight-with a
long-faced young soldier named
Simmons watching from the press
box.
Never Very laxative.
Simmons never was too talka-
tive before his Army service and
be hasn't changed. He bowed
away yesterday from making any
predictions about the Phillies in
the coming season and pooh
poohed the rumor that he might
pitch in the Pills opener against
the Giants at New York.
His first move as an ex-service-
man will be to hold a contract
conference with Carpenter.
The best guess seemed to be
that Curt would get the figure
he was drawing when he went
into the Army - somewhere
around $15.O00-possibly with a
bonus clause if he shows the
same sort of stuff he had when
last on public display.
