Beanlori Wins Sunday. 6-1
To Break Losing Streak '
- '. ; l
Beaufort was knocked deeper in
to the cellar of the Tidewater
League Saturday afternoon when
Jacksonville handed local diamond
men their eighth defeat of the sea
son against one victory by topping
them, 9-5, at the school field. The
Jacksonvillites gained their fourth
triumph of the campaign against
five losses, but they had to put
down a late-inning uprising by
Beaufort to do so.
- Beaufort, traveling out to Jack
sonville, reversed the previous
day's1 decision by trouncing Jack
sonville, 6-1, Sunday. In this game,
Wallace went all the way to be
come the winning pitcher, and Mc
intosh was his battery mate. Wil
liams started for Jacksonville and
was charged with the defeat. The
catcher was Webb. Triples by Stu
art and Jefferson paced Beaufort's
attack. The totals for thu game
were 6 runs, 9 hits, and 3 errors
for Beaufort and 1 run, 5 hits, and
4 errors for Jacksonville.
The winning pitcher in Satur
day's game was Al "Skee" Kubis
ky, lanky Jacksonville righthander
who started and went the route
for the winners. Pithing for the
losers was Barney Dobbs, 25-year-old
resident of Havclock whose jutf
curves were useless against the
Jacksonville power. Dobbs also
went all theV ay.

Jacksonville Takes Lead
Jacksonville built up an early
lead and did most of its scoring-in
the second, third, and fourth in
nings. The scoring ice was broken
in the second when, after Jim
Smith singled and Skeeter. Webb
strolled, an error by second base
man Lester Davis on a ball off the
bat of Leslie Elds allowed Smith
to score and Webb to take third.
Ellis then took second by beating
the throw after heim? trnnrvH nff
first base by a pick-off peg from
Dobbs. Kubisky then assisted his
own cause by singling in the two
runners.
Jacksonvile continued its scoring
ways in the next inning when Man
ager "Buddy" Philips doubled
Ralph Byrd to third. Byrd scam
pered across with Jacksonville's,
fifth run a few seconds later on aril
infield out.
Cannonade Continues
The Jacksonville cannon contin
ued roaring in the fourth frame
and the visitors jacked their lead
up to 7-0. After Ellis walked to
open the inning, Osby Cooper hit
into a force-out and moved to
third on a single by Phillips. Phil
lips then broke for second, and,
fearing a double steal, Beaufort

Gray Hassell at third in an attempt
to pick off Cooper. Hassell muffed
the throw, however, and Cooper
scored while Phillips held second.

ror on a ball hit by Bill McCul-
loch.
There was no more scoring down
until the last half of the seventh
session when Beaufort got back in
to the game with two runs. In
reality, the runs were more or
less freaks, for there were four er
rors committed by the Jackson
ville defense. Ray Hassell started
the rally with a single, but after
being trapped off first )asc by the
wary Kubisky, reached second by
grace pf. wideihrp on the parfj
oi seconupascman Davis, uray Has
sell then struck out, but had to be
thrown out, catcher-to-first, be
c?use catcher Webb momentarily
dropped the ball. There was an er
ror charged to Webb on the play
because it allowed Ray Hassell to
take third. Ray scored the first
Beaufort run when Gillikin got a
lift via Cooper's boot. Otis Jef
ferson singled Gillikin to second,
from where he scored when catch
er Webb threw wide on an at
tempted pickoff of Jefferson at
first.
Beaufort Threatens
Beaufort scared tHe living day
lights out of Jacksonville in the
next inning when the visitors saw
their lead diminish and almost dis
appear. This was accomplished on
a base on balls to Manager Charlie
Hassell a hit by Charlie Stuart,
and another single by- Tracy Hoo
per, bringing in Hassell to make it
a 7-3 ball game, and sending Stu
art to third. An infield out
brought Stuart across and moved
Hooner no a base, and n single
by Gray Hassell off the tiring Ku
bisky sent Hooper over with the
fifth Beaufort tallv. The threat
-continued when- Gillikin plastered
the pill for another one-baser, but
died when shortstop Byrd made a
spectacular overHhc-shoulder catch
(Jf Jefferson's Texas Leaguer,
' Jacksonville put the game on
Ice in the ninth inning by scoring
two more markers to make it 9r5,
the final score. This- was done
with a hit by Kubisky, an infield
out, a walk to Phillips, a base
knock. by Byrd, and an error by
Ray Hassell on Smith's grounder,

score. . '. . ;-. :

Like manv other marine once
at the Havclock Housing Settle
ment. While with the marines, he cap
tained the Edentown Base team, in
a season in which the team's string
of victories included Norfolk. Back
in Brooklyn, he played a lot of
ball with Pcrmatcx, in a semi
pro league.
There are certain ball players
who have it that Stillway learned
his speedy running, not, as he says,
as a high school athlete who once
competed in the Penn Relays, but
as a man who was run out of Flat
bush for being fed up with the
Dodgers.
Then again other rumors arc fir
ing that he learned his speed and
fast getaway, after his Permatex
team played Sing Sing and he pro
tested too many decisions.
At any ratei Stillway is still way
out front when it comes to keen
competition and fast ball playing.
