SHIPBUILDERS BEAT AMOCO NINE, 7 TO 5 Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE Wilmington's few-and-far-between night baseball games just flight were apparently a thing of the past for the dura 1 tio„. although no specific announcement had been made regarding Legion stadium’s arc lights. - It's not fresh news now that on Friday the army or dered all illuminated athletic fields to cut their lights in its dim-out plan. Officials said local authorities would enforce the regulations. But as yet it is not quite clear just who in Wilmington is that authority. So nobody has exactly said that Legion field must be lark at night. However, an official order regarding the local ball park will probably not be necessary anyway. Far-sight ed sports bigwigs — heads of amateur and semi-pro clubs in this section — are already remapping their plans. Twilight games is the only answer in sight. The Shipyard Progressives were planning a game Fri day night with a Durham team. And Camp Davis had irons in the fire for a contest with the Pensacola Sailors. Naturally those plans will have to be changed. Despite the fact that the order will really hurt baseball here, fans and players alike are taking it on the chin with a smile. It's just one of those things toward winning the war. With the influx of thousands of defense workers and soldiers here, there are more fight fans in Wilmington than ever before. These huge crowds that swarm over the downtown section during rush hours include many wrestling and boxing followers new to the city — and many potential participants. More should be done to give them the kind of fight cards they want. Xo that there is anything wrong with the present set up. But supervision by the state commission would assure iVf'ninEtonians of the type of sports program they de s e. A commissioner could see to it that fighters show up. for instance. Fans should demand it. And speaking of boxing, Cleveland ring enthusiasts are crying for a Joe Louis-Bob Pastor bout in their home tOV.'ll. Mike Jacobs has said that The Bomber will fight someone in June somewhere. Since Billy Conn stepped out of the picture through his extra-curricular match with papa-in-law, that SOMEONE is a mighty big word. Xow, in many other cities Pastor isn’t just what one might call “the people’s choice’’ for Joe’s contender. But out in Cleveland it’s a different story. Within the past year Bob has cleaned up on Lem Franklin and Jimmy Bivins in the Ohio town, and those Clevelanders really like the boy. They would pay some good money to see him in a return bout with the champ. And because Pastor has made a nice record for himself lately — undefeated in 18 months — their idea might not be such a bad one.

'Major F. H. LaGuardia, announc ing Army approval of new rules prohibited the use of all flood lights for sports, said they in cluded stadiums, although he did not single out any specific spo/t. However, his statement was tak en to mean that night baseball would be among those banned. But in the office at the Polo grounds and Ebbets field, New York’s two lighted parks, Presi dent Horace Stoneham of the New York Giants and President Larry MacPhail of the Brooklyn Dod gers declared they had not been adivsed of the new rules. “We’re going to wait until we hear something official before mak ing any announcements,” said Stoneman, approached between games of the Giants’ doublehead er with the St. Louis Cardinals. “We’re still hoping that some thing can be worked out,” he ad ded, “but we are entirely in the hands of the local officials.” The first night game listed here is scheduled Friday night ac the Polo grounds between the Giants and the Dodgers. Stoneham said tickets still were being sold for the game with the idea that it would be played at night. If the lights cannot be used. Stoneham said, the Friday game and all other night contests on the Giants’ home schedule will be played in the afternoon. “We are not going to try to play any twilight ball,” he said. MacPhail, advised of the major’s announcement during a double header at Ebbets field between the Dodgers and Chicago Cubs, de clared: “If given the chance, baseball can meet the specifications as laid down by the Army.” He declined to elaborate, lack ing official word from the authori ties. Earlier, MacPhail disclosed he had received instructions from the Army to dim the Ebbets field lights following tests made from boats at sea. The first night game on the Dod gers’ home schedule is on May 25 with the Philadelphia Phils. Major LaGuardia’s announce ment that new rules recommend ed by the police department had been approved by the Army coin cided with a statement by Major General Thomas A. Terry, second corps area commander, who said Army and Navy tests showed “con clusively” that present dim-out regulations were satisfactory.” In scheduling the dim-out along the Atlantic coast several weeks ago, Army officials placed the re sponsibility for enforcing the re gulations in the hands of local authorities, with the stipulation that the Army would remain in the background only as long as each city was able to attain a satisfac tory degree of dim-out efficiency. White Sox Take Pair From Washington Nats CHICAGO, May 17.—OP)—Johnny Rigney, pitching- his last game be fore applying for enlistment in the Navy, held the Washington Senators to three hits while the White Sox rallied for their sixth straight vic tory, 4 to 3, today.

Harold Davis of the Univer sity of California clipped off 100 yards in 9.4 seconds to tie the accepted world’s record established in 1931 by Frank Wykoff of Southern California. Jesse Owens of Ohio State also shares an official claim to the time, in 1935 and 1936, and Clyde Jeffrey of Stanford has one up for approval. Jeffrey tied it in 1940. Davis, generally conceded to be the fastest sprinter in the country, also has a claim in for a tie for the world’s 100 meters record, 10.2 seconds. He made it last year at the Comp ton, Calif., relays.

BOATMEN CUMB INTO LOOP LEAD; GAME IS TOUGH Urbon Paces Progressive Club To Win Over Oilers And Top Position By R. J. POWELL. The Shipyard Progressive club combined a win over Amoco with Pepsi Cola’s forced idleness to step up into undisputed possession of the lead in the Cape Fear baseball association yesterday as the first half race drew up to the half way mark. The Boatmen won over Frank Clemmon’s Cannoneers, 7-5, at Hil ton in the loop’s only game of the day, but the victory was a hard up-hill struggle all the way—even with the five run margin gained by the victors in the very first stanza. In that round the Shippers jumped on Lefty Brew and a jit tery Amoco team for five hits in cluding one double and five runs to look like sure winners from the start. However, when Righthander Headon Piner took over the slab in the third round the murderers row was silenced for the rest of the way as the chubby Amoco hurler limited the heavy hitters to five base knocks and one run while whiffing four. The only extra base blow by the Progressive boys after the second was Dejarnett’s triple that Outfielder Turnage almost snared. Manager Ed Urbon, regular left fielder for the Shipyard, paced his men with the willow by slapping out three hits out of four attempts. Hoggy Davis, league leading hit ter, was held to one bingle out of four trips. Sammy Reynolds and Aurther King starred at bat for Amoco as each got two safeties apiece, with one of Reynolds go ing for two-bases. Poor baserunn ing kept the Amoco boys from seeing home plate more often and a fast Cannoneer outfield probably prevented the visitors from running their count up. Except for the first two innings, when the Shipyard team made seven hits, Amoco outhit their feared opponents, getting nine hits in all as against the Shipbuilders dozen blows.
