Official sources say the larg
f cr0wd of the season attended
•‘Monday night's double header
Region Field ... Not being a
11: good judge of crowd’s, but
?f'hing out on a weak limb, I
tlin dlav that well over 2,000 fans
filmed "the stadium to see the
joccaneers slap the Clinton Blues
tw'icc- * * *
gillie Duke, Tobacco State
, ...uc's leading hitter, was
■ompletely baffled by the
wefping curves of Nate and
Johnny in the twin-bill . .
,even times ‘the Duke’ went
’ bat and seven times he failed
to connect. ^ ^ t
N,ate Andrews, looked like Nate
Andrews, last night as he really
fined on the steam in handing the
maes their first defeat ... Big
f, ts had his curves breaking won
derfully and the fast ball was ‘on
•be beam-'
Johnny Wilbourne, who has
yon four and lost one, to lead
He local hurlers, turned in his
usual good job . . . The lone
dffcat suffered by the towering
Wilbourne was a heart breaking
2 to 1 loss ... In this game
the Pirates failed to hit behind
Johnny . . • Twice in the final
too innings the tying runs
yerc on third base with none
out, but tbe batters failed to
connect and the tying markers
died on the paths.

Minor League President W. G.
Branham said that in a time when
Baseball is being attacked as an
vrl'wful Combine', Commissioner
A 3, Chandler's reported plan to
centralize the game's adminis'ra
vu might be the 'final steg’ in
creating a dictatorship of the dia
mond.
Robert Earey, red headed
hurler of the Hickory club of
the Class D North State League
has an unimpressive record of
having won four and lost six
this season. However, he is one
of the circuits most respected
hurlers — He has pitched a no
hit game, losing by his own
error, two one-hitters and one
two-hit contest and Tuesday
night he stopped the Thomas
ville club with one hit, fanning
13 batters . . . P. S. (he won
this game 6-0.)

Wilmington may soon have a pri
yate flying club ... The following
idea was passed to me a few days
ago ... A group of eight or ten
pilots will form the Organization
and the members pool their cash
to purchase a light plane for the
exclusive use of the club mem
bers. A schedule will be worked
out whereby each member will
have a certain time for his fly
ing.

POLICE SCHEDULED
TO MEET SPOFFORD
Firemen To Play Whites
Ice Cream Club In Sec
ond Game Tonight
Already out of first place in the
second half, the Fire Department
may drop even farther down the
standing’s scale tonight at Robert
Strange park, when they play the
powerful White’s Ice Cream team,
which is on its longest winning
streak of the season. This crucial
game follows the Spofford Mills
Police Department contest, the
first game of the doubleheader.
The two games start at 7 o’clock
and 8:30.
A. L. King, White’s hurler, is
swiftly establishing himself as one
of the best underhanders in the
circuit, and is a big reason for
the Ice Cream Company’s success
in recent tilts. King will have Clyde
Jordan or Robert Shipp as his
pitching opponent, making a hurl
ing duel a great possibility.
The Spofford Mill’s hitting pow
er gives them the role of favorites
over the Police Department, but
the Cops may stage an upset if the
reported new players that have
joined “Speed’’ Jeffords club come
through.

Group Of Youngsters Enjoy
Fishing Off Carolina Beach
BY ROY COOK
Star Sports Editor
Forty-two boys returned to Wil
mington late yesterday afternoon
after having spent the day outside
fishing off Carolina Beach on John
T. Marshall’s yacht Bonito. The
youngsters hooked and landed well
over 250 fish.
The boys, under the supervision
of R. H. Caudill, who was assist
ed by Earl Sell and J. M. Ray
left the Y.M.C.A. by special bus
at 6:45 o’clock in the morning,
boarded the trim craft and put
out to sea from Carolina Beach
shortly after 7:30 a. m. The t;ied,
but happy lads returned >o the
pier at 5 p. m.
Captain Alton Mason and his
first mate, Bill Mason took the
young anglers 12 to 14 miles off
Carolina beach to the ‘good fjS.i
ing holes. The boys immediately
dropped their lines and began to
reel in the fish. Roy McClelland
set the pace landing a total of 33
fine specimens. However, Roy
had better luck with his line than
he did with his stringing. When
the boys returned to the pier Roy
discovered he could not find all
his 33 fish.
E. G. Britt had good luck and
landed 29 fish to place second,
while young Charles Caudill landed
and strung 27.
Earl Sell, recently returned from
the armed services, maintained
his military attitude for about one
hour and then he joined about 14
of the boys by leaning over the
side. The youngsters enjoyed the
trip outside, but 14 and Sell, spent
much time ‘feeding’ as well
catching the fish.
Caudill said last night he was
planning another trip next week,
this time he will take the dj/s off
Wrightsville, and remarked that
the group would be sm liter. Any
boy interested in making the trip
is asked to contact Mr. Caudill
at the Y.M.C.A.
the right to play Wilmington
E. H. Alexander, commander of
the Red Springs American Legion
Post, in a telephone conversation
with the Star late last night said he
had been unable to contact the
proper representatives of the Wil
mington Legion and said the ar
rangements would be made Friday
morning for the Wilmington-Red
Springs play off’s. He was try
ing to arrange a meeting of the
officials at Whiteville Friday morn
ing to get the matter ironed out.
JUNIORS WIN
In a wild game, featured by
errors on the parts of both
team and an unusual quantity
of base on balls, the Wilming
ton American Legion Juniors
won out finally over the Winter
Park Bears, 15 to 11, at Legion/
Stadium last night.
The Legion Juniors commu
ted seven errors, and Winter
Park was charged with four
miscues. J. B. Wallace and
Emory Hewlett hurled for
Coach Leon Brogden's club,
walking a total of eight batters
between them. Winter Park’s
three pitchers gave up an
amazing total of 17 bases on
balls, many of which accounted
for Wilmington runs.
Wilmington got eight hits
against the Bears’ 14, but most
of the Juniors’ bingles came
with men on the base paths.
Ed Lamb led the losers’ hit
ters with three bingles for four
trips to the plate. Paul Hor
ton’s three for five mark top
ped the Legion’s sluggers for
the night.
Coach Leon Brogden, of the Wil
mington American Legion Junior
Baseball team, when told last
night that Red Springs had defeat
ed Durham, said he could not
definitely say when the series be
tween the Red Springs and Wil
mington clubs would begin.
“We will get the complete de
tails tomorrow (Friday) on the
schedules and place the first game
will be played,’’ the coach said.
Brogden remarked that he
thought the first game of the three
game series would be played on
Monday afternoon or night. How
ever. the final arrangements will
nof be completed until sometime
Friday.
When asked last week which
team he had rather face in the
playoff's for the Eastern Division
championship, Brogden remarked
that it did not make much dif
ference. “Both Red Springs and
Durham are reported to have ex
cellent clubs,” he said and would
not disclose his choice.
