JAMESON WINS WOMEN’S WESTERN TOURNEY > • 1 1 A A A W Sports HoHge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE If you’re a football fan and can’t get gas to drive to see Duke and Tar Heel games or a fisherman and find your favorite casting spot is right in the middle of an army firing range, here’s a little green to wear with your envy of sportsmen not bothered by war. It’s all about one group whose favorite activity has not been curtailed and is virtually untouched by the fierce breath of Mars, the god of battle. They’re sail boatmen— members of the big, exclusive Carolina Yacht club, second oldest in the nation. There are 500 members in the sailing organization and they have their own pier and fine clubhouse at Wrights ville Beach. Naturally Wilmington’s boat owners long ago realized that there are such things as shortages and priorities on certain materials vital to Uncle Sam’s cause. But so far they’ve found substitutes in main taining and repairing their craft. Galvanized metal, for instance, is replacing brass fittings. Once the hum of activity at the club was strongest around mid-week. Since many members are now doing de fense work, however, Saturdays and Sundays are the red letter days. Outside of that, the Carolina Yacht club’s program and plans are unchanged. And the amateur sailors go right on sailing along. * Members, who are admitted only when another’s name leaves the roster, utilize just about every type of small boat from little snipes to 28-foot inland lake scows. They have won prizes at races and regattas throughout the Southeast, boosting prestige of the club. This afternoon they will hold the first of 10 races planned for the season here, including special Labor and Independence Days events. Twenty-five boats are expected to be entered in the five classes set for today. Officers of the club are: J. C. Roe, commodore; War ren Sanders, vice-commodore; E. C. Hines, flag captain; E. M. Berry, purser; and W. L. Callum, measurer. It will take more than a war to stop sail boating. * * * Winning a war has taken the place of college team glories in the minds of graduating New- Hanover High school athletes. Instead of going to college with an eye open on the varsity, most Wildcat stars are joining armed services or getting defense jobs. Sam Tyler and Vernon Morrison are merchant marine cadets. Tommy Williams is forsaking another year of school to enter the air corps. Red Merritt and Harold Hor ton are two of the many employed at the shipyard. Ex ceptions to the rule are Neil Kelley, who plans on entering W’ake Forest, and Leon Todd and Bert Nesbit, who will go to N. C. State. And those are just examples. * * * Instead of American league All-Stars, the players who will meet the National league top-notchers on July 6 wmuld well be called the Yankee All-Stars. Exactly nine out of 25 men on the squad—or about 35 per cent—are from the New York club. Of course, those nine all probably won’t play. But anyway, they’re on the team. The Dodgers monopolize the National’s representative group almost the same w’ay. It will be a great break for Dodger and Yank fans. But how about the rest? MorrisMerrittToBox Hornaday Monday Clyde McCall And Delmar Mobley Will Meet On Shipyard Ring Card — Big Morris Merritt, former New Hanover High ring star, wilt take on a fellow worker in the ship wright department, Charley Horna day, in the featured bout of the Shipyard Athletic association’s sec ond boxing show at Thalian hall to night. Hornaday, an ex-army puncher, weighs 172. Meritt hits the scales at 168. Six bouts are planned for the card, which will begin at 8:45 o’clock in the fan-cooled auditori um. Three will be between negro fighters, Trainer Plunk Moring an nounced last night. Claude McCall, 150-pound Wil mington boy now a timekeeper at the yard, meets Delmar Mobley, 149-pound ships carpenter from Wallace. And Fred Barnhill, 198 pounds, a onetime local Golden Gloves champ, is paired with for mer Wake Forest Slugger Len Hair. The latter weighs 195 and is in the welding school. The featured and promising negro bout sends Bill Johnson (159) pounds of the riggers department against Buster Cobb (158) of the drillers department. Other negro bouts: Alec “Kid” Lewis (155) vs. Young Foy (154). “T Model” Ford (160) erectors department vs. “Jumpin’ Joe” Evans (155) erectors depart ment. Moring said interest is high among shipyard workers and a sur plus of boxers is already available. The fighters work out nightly at the hall under Moring’s supervision. He said that 45 boys attended the training session one night. Promoter Bert Causey has been called to Greensboro because of the critical illness of his mother but is expected to return Monday for the matches.

C. Shipyard Plays Grocery Semi-Pros Today BOTTLERS CLASH WITH CANNONEER CLUB AT HILTON | Cape Fear League First-Half Ends With Sunday After noon Contests Here By R. J. POWELL The Cape Fear Baseball asso ciation writes finis to the first half of it’s 1942 campaign this after noon with the pennant-wgninni Shipyard club meeting the third place A. L. King team at Hilton while the second place Pepsi Cola gang entertains the Amoco Can noneers at Legion stadium. Both games are scheduled to begin at 3:30. According to action at a recent league meeting, until further no tice admission will be charged for the stadium tilts and contributions will be asked at the Hilton dia mond. Either way it comes in, the boys need and appreciate support from local fans. Today’s clash with the Grocery boys will be more or less a warm up procedure for the tough out-of the-family date the first half king pins have scheduled with the Dur ham Golden Belt club here at Le gion stadium on the afternoon of July 4. The Shipbuilders, with a recent win over the Goldsboro Stars at which to point, expect keen competition from the strong up-state nine in the Independence Day tussel. Fresh from his blanking effort against Goldsboro, righthander Doyle Williams is expected to be on the heaving line for the bhip pers with Taylor back. Former Pepsi player Johnnie Edens will likely fill in the infield hole made when shortstop Bob Jordan wa s called into the armed forces. The regulars will be at the other posi tions for the Shipyard. Two more newcomers, backstop Sam West and infielder Strickland, may be in the King cast today. Of the two, the shortstop is most needed with Sam Tyler out indefi nitely. Red Hill is expected to shove his southpaw slants at the Boatmen and the rest of the lineup will be the same with Roy Lamb or Allen taking over Hill’s spot in the garden. Primming for the second ha 1 f start, the PCs and Amocos may do a little shifting for their stadi um get-together today. But boh will likely use he same outfit as in previous games. Clemmon’s fine righthander, Art Edwards, is about due another turn and may chunk against Pepsi’s Skipper or Lefty Cheshire. Weathercutt is the Cola catcher and Charley Beatha is backstops for Amoco. 4 -V Detroit Goes Overtime To Bow Athletics, 6-5 DETROIT. June 27—LT)—Roger Cramer lashed out a double off Rookie Dick Fowler with two out in the 13th inning today to score Billy Hitchcock from first base and give the Detroit Tigers a 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Ath letics. It was the fifth straight defeat for the seventh place A's. After Phil Marchildon had walk ed three runs home and spotted the Tigers an early 4 to 1 lead, the A’s smacked Tommy Bridges for four successive hits that pro duced two runs in the seventh and sent the game into extra inn ings on Dick Siebert’s first homer of the season in the ninth.

ME MAP 6TEATEM1AE EEAHToWMER-S Diggers Meet Su-Ann In Seaboard Contest Tigers Play Shipfitters; Sunset Park Takes On P & F This Afternoon BY R. J. POWELL The Masonboro Clamdiggers’ bid for their sixth straight win cap tures the limelight in this after noon’s three-game show presented by the Seaboard amateur baseball league. When Herman Farrow's Diggers bashed the Shipyard Fitters, 5 to 1 in a regular twilight brawl at Masonboro Thursday afternoon, the Sounders moved still further out in front in the growing ama teur circuit. Today’s hurdle may be a high one for the league lead ers for they take on the improv ing Su-Ann Shoemen at Robert Strange park at 3 p.m. Hugh Griffith’s Carolina Tigers prowl down to Masonboro to meet the Fitters in a game that will begin as soon as possible after 2 p.m. in order to allow some of the Shipyard workers to return to iheir work. In the other contest of the day, Sunset Park and P. nnd F. tangle at 3 p.m. on the Bellamy parK diamond. The battery pair of James Todd to Dan George, Masonboro’s most effective combination, will work against the Su-Ann outfit, which new boasts of such players as Poopy Sandlin, A. B. Stokely, Rich and others from the old Athletic club. Sandlin is the probable fling er for the Shoemen and the rest of the team will likely look like last Sunday’s clicking crew. Coming back after their close defeat at the hands of the P. and Fers in which errors overshadow ed some fine pitching by Mayhan, the Tigers hope, for better coop eration today against the Fitters. Mayhan will try it again and Mc Flwain, the chap who pounded the agate for three hits last week, will also be in the lineup. The Shipyard team’s ace hurler, Ste vens, will handle the curving chords with the regular catcher, Cavanaugh, behind the plate. No other change is expected in either lineup. Lefty Marlowe is slated for mound duty for the Expressmen against the last place Sunsetters. Marlowe was the winning pitcher against the Tigers last Sunday as he scattered nine blows to keep his club on the heels of the Clam diggers. With a number of new players due to be out, the Sunset Park lineup is filled with uncer tainty, but it is safe to say that Peggie Dyches will be the lively slabman. Efforts have been made to get Catchers Woodcock and Hen ry Atkinson and one of these vet erans may be the Sunset receiver today. -- MARRY WINCHESTER, Va., June 27—(A" —Miss Margaret Lewis By«d, daughter of Thomas Bolling Byrd of “Kentmere,” Boyce, and En sign Harry Farnum Stimpson, Jr.. U. S. N., were married at 8 o’clock tonight in Christ Episcopal church here.
