New Hanover Wildcats Journey To Wilson
RETURN CONTEST
SET FOR 4 P. M.
Wilmington Seeking To
Conquer Olnt-Of-Town
Jinx; Vick To Pitch
By GENE WARREN
Star Sports Writer
The New Hanover Wildcats will
have to beat an out-of-town jinx,
which has plagued them all year,
this evening at Wilson, when they
take on the Cyclones in a return
contest at 4 o’clock.
Thus far this seas n in all sports
the charges of Coach Leon Brogden
have won every conference game
in Wilmington that they have play
ed with the exception of one—a f
to 0 defeat in football to Durham.
1 at giv them three losses in the
pigskin game, two in basketball,
and one in baseball out-of-town.
Having had over a week’s rest,
Herman Vick, who turned the
Cyclone hitters back in the first
NHHS-Wilson tilt, has already been
given the nod to try his skill again
over his former teammates, and
break the road jinx.

behind the plate, and' the infield
features tall Kenneth Rogers on
first, “Toddy” Fennell at second.
Billy Hardison at third, and J. C.
Price at shortstop. Fennell, a boy
with the “good fielding" label on
him turned in a splendid exhibition
against Goldsboro, meriting him
the keystone job over Louis Col
lie.
Collie has been returned to his
left field position where he played
last season to team up with Bub
ba’ Sykes and probably Jim Gib
son, a nifty sophomore slugger.
This lineup may stop the power
ful Cyclones, but after being upset
in their first game here, you can
bet the Wilson ballplayers will go
all out to revenge themselves on
the locals. They beat Rocky Mount,
a feat Wilmington can not boast.
The Tobacco City’s infield has on
first Thorpe Smith, the cleanup
hitter, on second Davis, on third
Ernest Horne, and at shortstop Big
Jay Clark, who struck out three
of his four times at the plate in
Wilmington.
Shatson, Clyde Sullivan, and
Charles Anthony is the meadow trio
with the top receiver in the loop,
Tunney Brooks, doing the catch
ing
Whether Wilson’s coach will call
on Page to start on the mound for
the Cyclones or not is unknown
here. Page pitched the entire
game here in the two team’s first
meeting.
Coach Brogden and his team are
expected to leave town at around
10 o’clock in the morning for Wil
son on the Wilmington Pirates
bus.

BOSTON SWEEPS
NEW YORK TILTS
NEW YORK, April 25—The
Boston Braves made a sweep of
the two game series with the New
York Giants, winning Thursday’s
game, 5-4 when Froilan Fernan
dez successfully squeezed home a
run from third in the ninth inning.
Connie Ryan, first up for the
Braves, had cracked a home run to
put the Braves in the lead, but
the Giants went ahead in the third
when Mickey Witek homered with
one on. Phil Masi regained the lead
for Boston with a three run hom
er in the sixth, but the Giants
came back in the last half of the
eighth to deadlock the game when
Ernie Lombardi doubled in Witek
who had reached base on an error
by Ray Sanders.

RUSSIAN POLICIES
UNSATISFACTORY
---—
State Department Reported
Taking This View On
New Note
WASHINGTON, April 25. —UP)—
The State department received
from Moscow Thursday a statement;
of Russian policy on Manchurian
industry which American officials
regard as unsatisfactory, it was re
ported on excellent authority Thurs
day.
The note came in response to an ;
American message to the Russian
Foreign Ministry early last month
which asked the Russians what was
going on in Manchuria, advised
them what the Chinese said about it
and in effect protested the Russian
actions and polices.
Unsatisfactory
j.iiursaay s repiy was regarded
by some authorities here as virtual
ly a rejection of the American pro
test over the richest and most high
ly developed area in Asia. Others
regarded the note initially as be
' ing “unsatisfactory” but studied
it carefully for possible openings
which could lead to a satisfactory
. solution of the Manchurian prob
® lem. The problem is fundamental
to future peace in Asia.
The United States in effect had
accused Russia of removing all
sorts of industrial equipment from
Manchuria during the period of
Red Army occupation.
Planned Ownership
The Russians were also accused
of having tried to work out exclus
ive ownership arrangements with
China covering vital mines, power
plants, iron and steel industries
and others. The United States, in
a note sent early in February, ob
jected to these arrangements as be
ing out of line with cooperative Al
lied handling of the asse*s of a
territory which was essentially
Chinese and the problems of which
were supposed to be decided by all
e the Allies.
