ORD Hawks Beat
’Busters Again
In 9-7 Slugf est
Crashing out 19 safeties, nine
of them for extra bases, the hard
hitting ORD Hawks from Greens
boro defeated the Cloudbusters
in a 9-7 slugfest here last
Wednesday.
It was the fourth ORD win of
the season, and the second in a
week, over the Pre-Flight team.
The locals were behind after
the first pitch of the game, which
ORD Second Baseman Grosman
slashed to deep right center for
the circuit. Before Charles Gehr-
des could settle down and retire
the side, four more hits had rat
tled off Hawk bats to give the
visitors a four-run lead that the
Cloudbusters never could quite
overtake.
After trailing all the way, the
’Busters put on a stirring finish
and came through with a quartet
of runs in the last half of the
ninth—just two short of a tie.
Pre-Flight batsmen connected
for 14 safeties, but they lacked
the distance of the ORD extra
base clouts.
In other away from home
games during the past week, the
’Busters lost to the Hawks 10 to
2 at Greensboro, and dropped a
12-10 decision to Pope Field.
Six games remain on the Pre-
Flight schedule, the next home
tilt coming on Wednesday, July
4, against Pope Field.

Dutch Soccer Team
Trims French 2nd Time
The Dutch Marines from Camp
Lejeune last Sunday proved that
the 7-0 trimming administered
the Pre-Flight French cadets in
soccer two weeks earlier was no
mistake by doing it again by a
one-sided score of 8 to 1.
The outcome was never in
doubt, as the Dutch team com
bined superior skill and team
work to remain in control of the
situation throughout the game.

LOVELY LINDA—That’s the treat your eyes will get when you
attend the Village Theatre this Saturday. “Hangover Square” is
the picture, and 20th Century-Fox’s Linda Darnell is at her best
playing opposite George Sanders in this thriller.
