Although reached for ten hits. Troy Hasty managed to go the route for the Jackets. It was Hasty's fourth win against no de feats. New Bern jumped into an early I lead in the opening frame by counting twice on three hits and one error. The Bears third tally came in the seventh when Russell doubled and scored on pitcher Mo horn’s single. The locals did all their scoring in the fourth and eighth innings. Pitcher Mohorn got big-hearted in the fourth,, giving up three suc cessive walks, a base hit, and a couple of wild pitches, allowing the Jax to produce four tallies. David Cox doubled to begin the wild eighth inning. Stump was hit by the pitcher, and James Hodges singled to load the bases. Cox crossed when Mohorn uncorked another wild pitch and Harp scor nn Stau/art'e rnllor Mnhnrn cut loose with another wild toss, permitting Hodges to score. Hubert Lowder reached fir3t when the catcher dropped his third missed strike. Randy Howell then slammed a scorcher to deep short and shortstop Russell's throw to second hit Lowder on the head and bounced into leftfield. Being felled by the throw, Lowder saw the ball roll away and immediately hopped up and went to third. Hasty singled to left, scoring Lowder, and Howell counted when the new hurler, John Hardison, couldn’t control his fast one. My rick drew a walk, and Cox drove in Hasty when third-baseman Price threw wild to first. Harp singled sharply to leftfield to score My rlck and Cox and also wind up the Jackets' scoring activities for the contest. New Bern outhit the Jackets, eleven to eight, but after the first, Hasty kept the safeties well scat tered.

Unless we fet the fool idea that a thing is J A X and JAYS SPORTLITE By WILEY WARREN The Yellow Jackets' Journey *o Elizabeth City Friday in an ef fort to gain revenge from their 11-5 loss suffered at the hands of the coastal nine. Incidentally, that happens to be the only black mark in the Jackets’ record. « * * James Hodges, Jax catcher, who has been shifted to first-base, maintained his hefty batting streak in the past two contests. Hodges had three for five in the Washington encounter and rapped out two for three in the New Bern affair, thus giving him t\ total of ten hits in thirteen of ficial appearances for a nifty .769 average. Bightfielder Hubert Lowder and David Cox are the other consist ent bees in the Jackets’ attack Lowder boosted his average to 560 in the past two tilts and also knocked in four runs to hoist his total to fifteen for the season. Cox’s average dropped somewhat in the New Bern game, as he hit safely only once in five trips. How ever, he still holds an impressive figure — .464 is still tops in any man's league. Defensively, Coach Hoyle’s crew has shown vast improvement. The Washington melee was the first and only game that the Jackets weren’t guilty of a few mlscues. In the other five battles, the Jax committed twenty-seven errors. * * « As a team unit, the Jackets are currently powdering the ball at a h’istering .334 pace. Those eight hits gathered Tuesday was the lowest output since the loss to Elizabeth City when they collected only five safe knocks. * * * The Jays looked like a ball club against the Portsmouth Cubs Sat urday There is no doubt that the 1500 fans that saw the contest did leave with complete assurance that the local Coastal Plain League en try would field a team capable of first-division honors. However, Sunday, Norfolk’s Tars had to go and spoil everything by trouncing the Jays 13-3. Manager Martin had to give all his players s chance though, before releasing them. The Jays handed nine players their pink slips Tuesday and sign MOVING VAN • A. R. HARGROVE LOCAL and LONG DISTANCE • CALL Perkinson’s Service Station Phone R-433-1 300 Roanoke Ave. Roanoke Rapids, N.

Thomas Johnson, an outfielder, and Wayne Stone, seccndbaaeman, were others that reported. John son looked good at bat in his ini tial workout and was pounding the ball to all corners of the park. * * * Bill Boseman, a righthanded pitcher from Weldon, is scheduled to open on the hill tonite against the Rocky Mount Leafs. Boseman, who is noted for his speed and control has been the most out standing of the Jays' pitchers thus far. In the ten innings that the speedster has worked, he has struck out thirteen batters. Epps (ten-gallon hat) Ready, Jr, high school bat boy seems to have graduated irom the scholastic ranks into the pro circuit. Readj hasn't revealed yet whether or not he has signed his contract with Jays. * * * * George Hux, pitcher from Aure lian Springs, really received the applause from the fans in the Portsmouth fracas. Hux sent the Jays into a 4-3 lead in the fourth with a single over second base. The fans almost tore the roof =-* — ' "■ -« (oops! there wasn’t any roof :o tear off) with their applause. If the Jays could get by those wild first innings, they could prob ably break into the win column. Out of the thirty-one runs scored by the opponents, fifteen have re sulted in the opening stanzas. It seems that as a Class D club representing organized baseball, that the local Jays could get a player rather than a spectator to warm up a pitcher. In fact, it took two fans to get Archie Lee Moody ready for the final innings of the Norfolk game. * * * Sideline notes . . . won4er why leftfielder Lou Tortora touches third base en route to his out field post before every game . . .
