J. the Capital City's AA softball circuit, is coached by Joe Snoth erly, who last week pitching for the Norfolk Naval Station team handed the locals their only set back of the year.

Shortstop Shurley Hammack continued his torrid hitting spree by lashing oilt a home run over the left field wall that accounted for three runs and put the game cm ice for the Jays in the sixth inning. He had doubled earlier in the contest. Umpires Gurley and Simon were on hand again last night and were welcomed as their names were announced over the public address system by the jeers and b<3bes of a large crowd of fans. Both umps ran true to their usual form and there was the usual bickering. It finally ended when Umpire Simon thumbed Cy Havird, Bear fix st sacker, from the game in the bottom of the eighth. The ejec tion came as a surprise to most of the fans and occurred while the Jays were at bat. No one seemed to know why, but the New Bern radiocaster ventured a guess that "Havird had made a face at Simon." Kina Starts Lefty Pete King was on the mound for the Jays and did a good job until he ran into trouble in the top of the eighth inning and Tommy Pritchard came on to put out the fire. Larry Baldwin started for the Bears on the hilltop and he too pitched fine up until the bot tom of the eighth, though he was slugged very hard during the contest. Dick Baldwin finished it up for the Bears. The Jays started it off in the first inning when Milt Bolicfe led off by slapping the first pitch into right field for a single Milt, who has been a scourgç on the bases in recent games stole second and then Stu Mar tin popped out. and Val Gonzal ez looked at a called third strike. But Herb May slapped a sharp single that fell just inside back of third base and Bolick scored to give the Jays a one run advantage. The Bears came back in the second to tie it up. Two straight singles by Juliano and Palmer and a sacrifice by Havird and a fielder's choice accounted for the Bears' single tally. The Jays went ahead to stay in the third inning when Bolick led off by bouncing one over the left centerfield fence for a ground rules double. Martin walked and Val Gonzalez forc ed him at second by grounding to shortstop. Herb May drove in the second run with Bolick scor ing on Herb'^ long fly to cen terfield. That was the way things stood until the sixth in ning as both pitchers tightened up in the pinches. The Bears loaded the bases in the top of the sixth, but couldn't core. Something Refreshing, Something Wholesome Listen to "CLAUDIA** BOTTIED UNPES AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY Hammack's Homer After Jim Meyer had struck out to open the Jays' part of the sixth, Baldwin lost his control and walked the next two men, ^avlich and Ferra.

(U.P.) — It took more than a broken leg to keep 13-year-old Tommy Lok ken out of a baseball game. Tommy broke the leg sliding into second base in a practice, game. But the youngster hob bled to the mound three weeks later to pitch his team to a 6-3 victory in an important game. He also contributed three hits to his club's attack. His only concession to the injury was that a substitute ran for him. jeski, who played third base for Stu Martin in the second en counter, was safe on an error. Val Gonzalez clubbed out a single scoring Bolick and Herb May duplicated the effort and drove in Madjeski with another single. Joe Ferra singled to drive in Gonzalez. Thompson started on the mound for the Bears but wasn't around after the fourth inning as the Jays began teeing off on his slants and scored once in the third and twice in the fourth. Sawyer took over the mound duties for the Bears and worked until the ninth inning when D. Baldwin was called in from the bull pen, but it made little dif ference to the Jays, since they all looked alike. New Bern got to Brown for two runs in the fourth and two more in the eighth but it wasn't enough as the Jays nipped an eighth inning rally with a well executed double play. The bases were staggering with Bears in the bottom of thu eighth and Havird, the first baseman, drove a grounder to Brown, he nipped the runner coming home and then Sheehar. tossed to Gonzalez to complote the double play.
