JESS W1LLARD BEING COUNTED OUT IN EIGHTH ROUND OF BOUT WITH LUIS FIRPO AT JERSEY CITY. CURRITUCK YOUTH WHIFFS FOURTEEN "Bill" Poyner ??f Poplar Branch, With Pcrferl D? fenHr Behind Him, Too Much for Portsmouth Nine. The pitching of Poyner and the brilliant defense work of the local* ~ams-too much for what wan supposed to be the "Triple A" team from Portsmouth and Elizabeth Cltv f trimmed the visitors to the tune of 12 to 0 in a one-Hided game here Tuesday afternoon. "Bill" Poyner of Poplar Branch, who took the mound rather reluc tantly after a night of It on the Nor-J folk Southern, delivered fourteen | strike outs and permitted only two] hits. But "BUI" wasn't satisfied with his work on the niound at that and he continued to warm up throughout the game when the home team went to the bat. He never did get his hook under control and he hit three batsmen. Six feet plus two Inches tall and less than eighteen,' the young Currltuckian is dangerous looking to begin with and his steam behind the ball demoralized the vis iting batsmen. Coupled with Poyner's brilliant work on the mound was the practi cally errorless defense of the team behind him. The visiting batsmen got on flrst once by fielder's choice, twice by hits and three times from being hit by a pitched ball. Only one man got to third during the game and that was on a wild pitch. Eldergen, tossing the ball for the Portsmouth team, was handicapped by ragged infield support, third baseman Orlswold. messing up four or, five ground balls that xhould have been easily handled. Eldergen was relieved by Orlswold In the seventh frame and the visitor* Im proved some but In the eighth In ning the relief pitcher walked two men and permitted two lilts nt cru cial moments. Eldergen disgusted the fans at the beginning of the game by purposely walking Abbott and Calvert. Eckert caught a good same for the visitors snd Grimms made a sen sational catch when lie ran behind the players bench for a foul from the first base line. Mat hi as did fast fielding In left field. Poyner led the local batsmen with three hits out of four chances, one of which was a two base sling to center. Abbott, Weatherly and Hood took two base hits each, the latter making one two base hit. Abbott robbed Moore of a hit when he ran to left field and grabbed hl? high fly and Hood disappointed Orlswold when he got under the latter's drive to center. The first tally for the home team came In the third fram when Moore fumbled Calvert's grounder and -Abbott hit to centerfleld. True blood rolled one down third base line, and got to first, filling the bases. Henderson got to flrst when Moore played his grounder home and Calvert went out. Abbott ?cored when Orlswold fumbled Weatherly s grounder. Host knock ed one to Eldergen and Trueblood was forced out Ht third while Host died on a double play to flrst.
