A Charleston dispatch of the 15th carries the following story about Homer Fink: “Homer Fink, who played with Concord team in the Old Hickory league last year, reported today to Manager Stallings for a try-out with the Rochester club, which is training here.

Ben Paschal, for the past four years left gardner on the Charlotte team in the South Atlantic League, was been returned to the Hornets by the Rochester tea of the International League. Pascal has been doing so good with the Rochester team in Spring training that it was not thought he would e sent back to Charlotte, but is suppose the fact that he suffered a broken leg last year slowed him up too much for the International league team.

In a game of ball Friday afternoon, the first of the season, between the High School and Locke Mill teams, the score was 6 to 5 in favor of the Locke team. The batteries were Sapenfield and Cook for the high school and Roscoe Cleaver and Aiken for the Locke Mill team. The features of the game were the fine work of the high school infield, and the good work of Aiken, the cater of the Locke team. There have been 38 candidates for the high school ball team, from which the best will be chosen for the season.

From The Concord Tribune, March 18, 1922. Last name was Paschal on first reference and Pascal in second reference. I don’t know which is correct. Also, I wonder if he was left guard on the team instead of left gardner, as was written in the paper.
