FT. PAYNE GRUDGE AFFAIR
Tarzan White,
Shipp, Greene
Wrestling fans who like their
excitement high, with fast and
rugged action, will make it a
point to be at the Fort Payne
National Guard Armory on Fri
day night, March Ist, when
Battling Bob Shipp and Big Don
Greene take on Roy Cook and
Tarzan White in a return match.
This match will be to a finish,
with no disqualifications.
The winners of the match will
have to gain their victory by
scoring two pin falls. After their
last match, Shipp and Greene
protested vigorously over being
disqualified. They demanded a
finish match in which no dis
qualifications would be allowed.
Shipp declares that neither
White nor Cook can take it when
the going gets rough. Upon ac
cepting the rules of the return
match, White and Cook stated
that they were prepared to get
.just as rough as their opponents.
At the last meeting of these
wrestlers, police had to intervene

i to prevent a riot after Roy re
ceived a blood-letting gash when
his head was rammed into a cor
ner post. Neither the fans nor
Cook will soon forget the inci
dent. Cook is out for revenge.
Besides the main event tag
match and two professional pre
liminaries, the guard is lining
up some amateur and semi-pro
I matches as additional attrac
, tions. Menlo’s star football play

Mitchell and Daniel “Lil’ Abner"
Cook (who is undefeated in five
straight matches) will probably
i see action. The guard believes
that the fans enjoy watching
these youngsters wrestle: how
ever, they plan to cut down the
j entire amateur and semi-pro
program to 30 minutes. These
matches will start promptly at
8:00 and end at 8:30 (C.S.T.).
pro matches will start at 8:30

RIGHT DOWN THE
Just a little about baseball in
the days gone by. In 1902 our
family moved to Georgia from
Lexington, Kentucky. We came
to Menlo and my dad rented a
crop from Captain Gamble We
lived on Menlo road where Mr.
Grigsby lives now. The house was
part log house then. I was 9
years old. I used to ride to town
with the Gamble girls in a buggy
and hold the horse while they
did their shopping.
I started to school at New
Antioc in Dry Valley. The school
house was just a little one room
frame building. My first first
teacher was Miss Josie Hard
wick. All of the Allen girls went
to school there. The boys and
girls played ball together. We
would play one eye cat and two
eye cat. We would choose so
many on each side, that is where
the baseball started as I re
member it, but we used a thread
ball.
We moved to the old Shadrow
place where Mr. Tallent lives

now. My sister, brother and T j
walked to Dry Valley to school, |
about 4 miles there, 4 miles back.
We moved to town in 1905 and £
started to school in Summerville, -
where the colored school is ,
located. My first teacher was }
Miss Louise Kirby.
In those days we organized our
own ball team and elected a
manager at school. The first J
manager as I remember was J
Boyce Espy. We would go to 1
Trion, Menlo, Lyerly and La- f
Fayette in a wagon or two horse ■
hack, we called it, (it had four J
seats). We would chip in and *
buy our balls, use one until the 1
stitches wore out, then we would f
sew it up or get uncle Jack
Moyers to sew it for us, then wc ‘
would use it until we wore the '
cover out. In 1906 I believe it
was, there was a park built here
in town. It was laid out where ’
Selman’s mule barn is now. Home ■
plate was up behind the barn
almost to the branch, the left
field fence went down the branch
on this side of Tutton’s store to
the side walk. Center field came 1
up the side walk to where Sel
man’s Hardware Store is; left ।
field went around behind the
store All of us boys were really
tickled to get in the park. I can !
remember some of the old time '
players that might be interesting :
to some of the people who can '
remember them. Here are some: !
Jim Gamble, Gordon Kellett, Dr.
Selman, Tom Baxter, John Cleg
horn, Clyde Clemons, Jim Mc-
Bride, Jumbo Maxey, Jim
Scruggs. I remember seeing
J umbo Maxey hitting three home
runs out of the park.
Every one helped build the
park, mostly the men and boys :
: of the city. The city was a small ■
place, just a little dirt road
through it, and two old wells in
I the street for water. One was at.
the red light in the center of
Washington and Commerce
crossing, and the other about
■ where the red light is in front
j of Mr. Walt Godwin’s place. Now
this article is one just going way
back where I can get started
about my experience with base- ■
ball in school, city and where I,
worked. As we are going to try ;
I and have an American Legion
team this year. We had one in
j '4B and won the Seventh District
championship.
Ralph Stanley is going to man-
I age the Legion team. There are
some new baseball blood in the
Legion now. Boys are eligible up
[to 18.
This story will be continued

LOUISVILLE OUT
NASHVILLE HAS
CONTRACT OF
COUNTRY BROWN
Ralph (Country) Brown has
given his final word to Louis
ville—no—and it is expected by
the time The News Is in the
homes that Nashville’s McCarthy
will have his contract again.
Whether McCarthy will be
willing to sell Brown to another
Southern league team is a mat
ter of conjecture. Chattanooga
seems interested in having the
services of Brown again, since
Country won a pennant for the
Lookouts in 1952, and was a
potent star in 1953 for the En
gelmen.
McCarthy, however, may re
consider selling Brown, since
Country had a big year with the
Vols in 1956, batting .308 and
hitting 14 home runs. He is ideal
for Sulphur Dell, being a left
handed batter who can pepper
the right field screen with base
hits.
Then, too, in his 10th year in
the Southern league Country
could set many records. Brown
