SHIPYARD, KING WIN IN CAPE FEAR LEAGUE _ ———————— .. w a Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE Traveling salesmen and high school romeos aren’t the only ones hard-pressed by gasoline rationing. Versatile A1 Schacht, baseball’s “clown prince” and quite a petroleum burner in his own right, is in the mourners’ corner. , War time restrictions have stretched their dreaded cloak over the ball park stunt man’s business of making fans laugh in between their tossing pop bottles at the ^ Just back in New York from a tour of Piedmont and Bi-State games, Schacht told friends the pitiful story of how he was forced to leave his car, necessary to his work, in North Carolina. It was gasless. The tale of woe: “I’m in Leaksville, and it has rained and hailed . . . Well, we finally play, but we get a late start and I’m late leaving town. I have to catch a train for New York from Raleigh, and Raleigh is 214 miles away. “It gets dark. Very dark — and then I begin to worry about the gas. (A1 has a 3-B card). I look for gas stations every time I go through a town. They’re all closed. They shut down at 7:30 every night. No business — that’s all. So they close up. “Now, at last, I’m rolling into Raleigh. I’m coming up along the railroad tracks and the train is due. My gas tank registers E, which means empty. I got a half mile to go and hear the train coming in the distance. “I roll up to the door of a hotel and out comes a bellboy. I pull him into the car and step on the gas. No good. No gas. ‘Get out and push,’ I tell him ... I start rolling down the hill to the station and he jumps back in with me.” _ “I just make the train as it’s pulling out. I tell the boy to take my car to the hotel garage. “But,” he says, “there’s no gas in it how’ll I move it ?’ . . . ‘That,’ I says — the train is going now — ‘is for you to worry about’.” Schacht returned to the Carolina capital last week for his machine. But still the gas is by drops. Ott Ties Batted-In Mark And Giants Take Two Games From Phils NEW YORK, May 31.—UP)—Mel Ott, 33-vear-old manager of the New York Giants, tied Rogers Hornsby’s National league record of 1.582 runs batted in today as his club swept a doubleheader with the Philadelphia Phils, 3-2 and 7-1, before a crowd of 18,072. Now in his 17th season with the Giants, never a member of any other major league team, Ott singled Bill Werber home in the first inning of the opening game and repeated that performance in the seventh inning of the after piece to equal the lifetime mark established by Hornsby in 23 years with the Giants, St. Louis Cardi nals, Boston Braves and Chicago Cubs.

Jim Turnesa today and the chunky little soldier fell a struggling victim to Sammy Snead of Hot Springs, Va., 2 and 1, in their final 36-hole match for the championship of the professional golfers association at the Seaview club. Victorious over three American Ryder cup stars — Byron Nelsjn, Ben Hogan and Harold (Jug) Mc Spaden—on preceding days, the corporal flatered after a fine start against a fourth international star and finally failed—deserted by his luck but still cheered by a highly partisan crowd of 3,000. At the half way point Turnesa looked like he would do it. Shoot ing a steady 70 on the first 18 holes —two under par figures—he built a three up lead that looked in surmountable. He clung to his ad vantage through the 23rd hole. And then Snead began piling into him. At the 27th the match was all square. At the 30th Snead was two up. On the 35th Sammy chipped in a birdie two from 60 feet to close the matoft. From the time Snead started his victorious march on the 24th hole, he shot these figures—433 444 344 442. It was too much for the game soldier and it probably would have been too much for any golfer liv ing. Had he been playing anyone oth er than Turnesa, a game little service man who caught and held the gallery’s favor, Snead would have scored an extremely popular victory. The likeable ex-hillbilly ordinarily is the biggest drawing card in golf, all over the country, and he has been trying for a long time to win a national champion ship. iL__ _1 1 T__J __:__ the crowd’s disappointment at Turnesa’s defeat. The little guy had everything they liked, includ ing a poker face and a fighting spirit that didn’t let him know when he was licked. There was not even an important financial compensation for J i m the Corporal. He agreed when ob taining his furlough to play that he would give any winnings to the army emergency relief fund. So his possession of the $750 second prize promised to be short. Snead won $2,000, part of it in war bonds. Even so, Tumesa’s sensational play here probably will gain him a little welcome time off from his duties in the Fort Dix station hos pital. Fred Corcoran, who has been placed in charge of arrang ing benefit marches for the pro fessional golfers, believes the little corporal will be a tremendous “draw” anywhere he appears, and he intends to get in quick touch with Turnesa’s superior officers. The final match fully met the crowd’s expectations. Turnesa put up a great show for a player who was quoted at 50 to 1 before the toumambnt began by the club house bookmaker. Not a dime was bet on him at that price. BARGE, PIPELINE BILL IS UP TODAY (Continued from Pace One) refineries over the inland water way along the Atlantic coast. An additional 200,000 barrels a day could be shuttled by rail be tween Tampa, and Sanford, Fla., a distance of approximately 10 0 miles thus connecting the G ulf with the inland waterway Cannon said. The pipeline proposal which the house will consider calls for the line to begin at Port St. Joe on the Gulf coast, and extend across the upper part of the Florida pen insula to Jacksonville. The projected barge canal ’would begin at Port Inglis, on the Gulf and extend across to the St. John’s river, connecting with the inland waterway. The route to be followed would be approximately that of the Flor ida ship canal, upon which about $5,000,000 was expended before work was halted. Under the Mansfield bill a chan nel deep enough to handle at least 12-foot draft barges would be pro vided. The terrain across w h i ch the ditch would be dug is relatively soft limestone, experts have advis ed Congressmen Green (D - Fla) who says the necessary labor and construction machinery could be readily assembled for the project if the go-ahead signal was given by Congress.

This is how Ernie Bonham looks to the batter as the New York Yankee’s big right-hander delivers the fork ball which enable him to start the season with seven straight victories, four of them shutouts. Tiny winds up, his arm draws the ball ’way back and then comes around to either whiz the ball over the plate or to have the fork ball shimmy and fall dead.__ ATHLETICS STOP MIGHTY YANKEES New York Wins First Game But Loses Second To Har ris’ Four-Hit Hurling PHILADELPHIA, May 31.— (JP> —After winning eight straight and 21 of 24 games the powerful New York Yankees finally were stopped today by the four-hit pitching ol Luman Harris of the Athletics.

The enemy’s armored forces were unceasingly attacked by our land and air forces and suffered considerable damage. ‘There was fierce fighting at gaps in our minefields which the enemy had made, but was able to use only with the greatest diffi culty.

BOATMEN BEAT AMOCO, 8 TO 2 TO HOLD LEAD Grocer' Nine Noses Out Pep i-Cola 4-3 In Semi Contest By R. J. POWELL The Shipyard Progressive stretch ed their first place in the Cape Fear first half race yesterday afternoon by wading through the Amoco Can noneers 8 to 2 at Legion Field while the second place Pepsi Cola boys were going down before Snag Allen and his A. L. Kingers 4-8 after a titanic struggle at Hilton. At Hilton, Kings’ investment in High school stars paid big dividends as the grocery boys hit with men on the paths to hang up their second win of the season and the first tri umph since the opening day. It was the hitting of William Rogers and Neil Kelly, former High school players, that put the game in the bag in the sixth, but it was the clutch hurling of Manager Snag Allen that kept it there. Allen fan ned a dozen Pepsi batters, most with runners in scoring position, and held his former buddies to six blngles, two by the veteran catcher, Buck Tyre. nuiwuua cuupper opposed Alien on the rubber and with the excep tion of one or two shakey frames, turned in a crediable game, allowing only five blows and whiffing the same number while walking two. Errors by the PC infield marred the big pitcher’s effort. In the Shipyard victory, A1 Bros nam coasted along toward a smooth no-hit performance until the seventh round when Lefty Brew stepped up and smacked a line double into left that started Amoco’s two run rally. Brew scored on an infield out and Shortstop Strickland later reached first on a pass and stole third and home to give the Cannoneers their other tally. Headon Pinep started on the mound for the losers, but the Ship per had his number this time and rapped him for seven blows and eight runs in the very first two chapters. Then Brew took over the slab for the Amocomen and was in cincible the rest of the way, holding the heavy hitting Progressives score less with only one hit, a single by Hoggy Davis, in the third round. Davis, with three for four and Johnnie Edens, with a triple and a home run, were the leading batters for the Shipyard outfit. £*£C!0 Ab R H O A E Fattinian, ss- 2 0 0 D 0 0 Farmer, lb - 4 0 0 5 0 0 Carter, If- 3 0 0 1 0 0 Reynolds, 2b _ 2 0 0 2 0 0 Meade, rf - 3 0 0 2 0 0 West, c - 2 0 0 4 0 0 Bohanan, 3b _ 3 0 0 2 3 2 Edwards, cf _ 1 0 0 3 0 0 Finer, p - 3 0 0 0 0 0 Strickland, ss _ 1 1 0 3 0 2 Eason, rf _ 3 0 0 1 0 0 Brew, p - 3 110 10 Turnage, If_10 0 10 0 TOTALS - 28 2 1 24 4 4 SHIPYARD Ab R H O A E Jordan, ss_5 113 11 Bell, 3b _ 3 2 0 3 2 1 Davis, cf _ 4 2 3 1 0 0 Urbon, If _ 4 1 0 2 0 0 Edens, Tf_ 4 12 10 0 Lambert, lb _ 4 0 14 10 Dejarnett, 2b_ 4 0 0 1 0 0 Taylor, c _ 4 1 1 11 0 0 Brosnan, p __ 3 0 0 1 1 1 Williams _ 1 0 0 0 0 0 TOTALS _ 36 8 8 27 9 3 Score by innings: Amoco _ 000 000 200—2 Shipyard _ 260 000 OOx—8 Runs batted in—Farmer 1.
