Legion Junior Hurlers

Marlon, N.C. Down In North
Carolina, where American Le
elon Junior baseball often out'
draws the professional variety,
there is an annual crop of great
prospects for the big time.
And each summer two or
three youngsters stand out
above the crowd and excite pre
; dictions of brilliant futures in
't the national pastime.
- But this year Tar Heel
Z folk are more sure than ev
er that they have a coming
big leaguer in a . husky
young giant southpaw
pitcher named Billy Joe Da
' vldson.
. He's IS years old, weighs 218
and stands six, three.
? For two years he's been at
- traotlng attention with his
I mound work, despite failure to
- be with a winning ball club. He
' has Just completed his most
i brilliant season.
Although the Marion Juniors
were unable to advance beyond
' the semi-finals of the state's
western division playoffs, it
r wasn't the fault of the big boy.
Billy Joe won 11 straight
" games, yielding only 18 hits and
six runs while walking but 30
; and fanning 20S In OS Innings.
Billy was a real ball of
' fire in the stretch as he
strove vainly to pitch his
mates to the state title.
' Over the last eight days of the
. season he won these three eye
poppers: A 7-0, no-hltter over
. Boone, striking out 15.
A S-l four-hitter over Hl
. ckory, fanning 15.
J A 3-2 decision in 14 Inn
, ings over Gastonia, striking
out 28.
Z Gastonia, which eventually
' eliminated Marion in the west
i ern semi-finals, demonstrated
how much Davidson meant to
i Marlon. In six meetings between
the clubs the crowded Marion
L schedule allowed Davidson to
"-face the Gastons only once. He
responded with the 28-strikeout
job. The five other games, with

Billy Joe Davidson
Coming Big Leaguerf
Davidson either in the outfield
or on first base, produced Gas
tonia victories by lop-sided
scores of 24-3, 18-2, 17-0, 18-3
and 8-0.
Coach Wilson Carter, al
though resigned to the fact that
Davidson was his one big gun,
refused to overwork him. "He's
got too big a future and we're
not going to spoil it for him by
overwork," he explained.
Billy has a hopping fast one,
a good curve, an effective
change of pace and splendid
control. And, for a big boy,
he moves around well. He bat

Major . league scouts have
been one his trail for over a
year. The Cleveland Indians
gave him a 10-day once over
last year and are reported anx
ious to have another peck.
He'll be back next year for a
final fling in Legion competi
