WEST AND OSWALT BATTLE HERE TONIGHT Pepsi-Cola And Shipyard Teams Win In Sunday Games 4. -- 4 Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE “Are sports going to be called off until after the war ?” That is a question that has been burning in the minds of fans ever since the first flash on Pearl Harbor. And now it is slowly but surely beginning to look as if the answer is yes. That is a pretty bad thing for a sports writer to say. Isn't it, A fellow who not only enjoys sports at least as much as the average fan but aiso makes his bread and but ter writing about them. Naturally we agree with Franklin Roosevelt’s epochal statement of the important place athletics hold as both morale and body builders. It is, of course, ob vious that the busiest war plant worker and the busiest service man need some type of recreation — as parti cipants and as spectators. But facts and figures speak the truth. Baseball park turnstiles are humming much softer than last season. At tendance records show that . . . First one and then another big sport event has been cancelled for the duration. The National Golf Open, for instance. Even the reputed sports-favoring U. S. government has asked that the country’s delegation to the Pan-American games this summer strike its name off the list of contest ants ... . Most newspapers losing men to the draft are not replacing them, their publishers declaring: “Pretty soon there won't be any sports to cover.” The sports editor of one big sheet recalls that in the first World war he went to France, and his paper just closed up its sports department. As yet there has been very, very little of the public's criticism of athletics such as was prevalent in World war 1. Back in ’17. many people were saying: “If he s able to play baseball, he can carry a gun.” And there probably won’t be much such talk so long as the President himself favors continuing sports. The whole thing, it seems, is entirely up to the fans And they’re evidently taking it rather lightly — generally speaking. Naturally the class of sports is certain to de grade what with the Greenbergs and Fellers going off to the war. But if Joe Fan wants to keep seeing his favorite team in action — even through the duration — he’s going to have to prove it. It’s up to the public. Sports Carbon: “Honesty pays,” writes Smith Bar rier in the Greensboro Record, “even if you have a lousy golf game. Playing in the Florida State Medical as sociation tournament, Dr. W. S. Randall of Pensacola counted all his strokes and posted a 169. He was award ed a special prize for such truthfulness.” Camp Davis’ baseball team will open its season against the Amoco Cannoneers here at 5 o’clock Saturday after noon . . . Whitney Martin, Wide World service sports col umnist, tells the world in his bit for today that the Albany Senators are going to start Sunday morning games. He must have read last Friday morning’s Star.

J. POWELL Pepsi Cola increased its first place lead in the Cape Fear first half race yesterday by trouncing the A. L. King nine 7-1 at Hilton while the Progressive club of the shipyard was advancing into sec ond place with a well-played 6 to 2 victory over the Amoco Can noneers at the stadium. Timely hitting and a tight de fense that completed one triple play and two double plays were the telling factors in the Pepsi win over the Kingers. However Snag Allen’s four-hit hurling did not hurt the Pepsi Cola cause any. The rare triple killing, first in the young Cape Fear season, came in the second inning and smother ed what for a few fleeting mo ments resembled a King rally. Burley Burrey Covington drew an Annie Oakley to open the round, and Tatum and Shands followed with singles to score Covington with none down. Big John Wil bourr.e, who was then playing rightfield, came up and smashed a line into the waiting paws of first baseman Edens who promptly whipped the pill to third to catch Tatum headed for home. Dempsey, PC third sacker, threw to second to nip the third base-bound Shands and the side was retired. For the remainder of the contest Allen, who went the distance for the Bot tlers, was complete master of the situation, allowing only two more hits and fanning eight. Jack Allen drew the starting as signment for the Kingers, and al though hit hard and often pitched a fair game until he was yanked in fabor of Vic Gore in the third. ! Five runs, two unearned, were scored off Allen and Gore allowed one run and two bingles until he was withdrawn for pinch-h i 11 e r Tyre in the sixth. Wilbourne fin ished on the slab for the home team. Covington and Tyre shared the King catching and Neathercutt caught for Pepsi. In the hitting Linwood Rowan’s big bat accounted for three of the Colas’ 13 blows and W. S. Mac Keithan, Edens, and Snag Allen collected two apiece. Shands and Wilbourne, with one for three, were the poor best for the punchless King club. Hoggy Davis’ rousing triple in the fifth with the sacks flooded provided the spark that enabled the shippers to lick the improved Amoco outfit. Until that potent blowr, Clemmon’s boys were en joying a one run advantage by virtue of counts in the opening and third frames. Headon Piner, on the mound for the Amoco had a little better of the pitchers duel between the shipyard’s Brosman and himself up until the fatal fifth. Altogether the Progressive team garnered but six hits, four in the last four chapters to com pare with the quartet of knocks registered by the Cannoneers off Brosman and Holland who took over the hurling job in the eighth. Both clubs played a good game afield, with three double plays be ing concluded during the contest. Aside from Davis’s three-b a s e clout, the only other outstanding batting feat was the Shippers’ McCord’s record of two hits out of as many trips to the plate. The Cape Fear directors and of ficers will hold their regular week ly meeting tonight at 7:30 in the courthouse. STANDINGS W. h. Pet. Pepsi Cola- 3 o 1.000 Shipyard.. 2 1 .666 A. L.
