He also played ball in the Dutch Fork League. After graduation, he was in service for six months and attended Wofford College six months before joining the Roanoke Rebels. By BOB ROEMER It was a night of firsts at Sa lem Municipal Field as the home standing Rebels knocked off thfe league-leading Bluefield Dodgers, 12-0, before a crowd of 643 last night. Salem scored its first victory of the season over Bluefield, lefty Mike Sinclair becoming the first Rebel to register a shutout and umpire Vivian Carrier finally ex erted the full authority vested in him. Carrier, most harassed arbiter in the Appalachian League, threw out the entire Bluefield team and forfeited the game with the Dod gers at bat in the top of the eighth inning. Somebody on the Bluefield bench got away twice with throw ing a towel onto the field. Carrier issued a warning the second time, but the Dodgers continued with a volley of unpleasantries. Carrier called it a forfeit.
