T|,e Senior Class A softball Li«e with less than two weeks lo play, marks off their week’s games, as Sun 2e Laundry still hovers lve all other clubs as the ' „d half leader. The Fire Department's ace outfielder, smith, says to this, “we’ll take anyone in the playoffs. Most d'our good players have not hten able to see action the last half, but all of ’em will walk ,H with the championship h,„ors when the playoffs come around.” Whether Smitty’s confidence |n the Firefighters will be shown soon, but the rest of the flubs are interested in over coming Sunshine at present, and are content to let the Smokeater’s boasting rest. The week’s card calls for the following games: Monday — Senior Fraternity vs. Fire De partment and City Optical vs. Sunshine Laundry; Tuesday — Whites Ice Cream vs. Spof ford Mills and Sunshine Laun dry vs. Police Department; Wednesday — Whites Ice fream vs. Fire Department and Spofford Mills vs. City Optical; Thursday — Fire De partment vs. Sunshine Laun dry and Police Department vs. City Opttical. No games are scheduied for Friday because of Wilmington’s football game Playing four out of five days works a hardship on “Spider” Wolfe’s Firemen, but in Clyde Jordan and Robert Shipp he has good starters, and Ken Raynor can step in for duty in case of relief. The top games of the week appear to be the City Optical — Sunshine Laundry encounter on Monday and the Fire De partment — Sunshine tilt on Thursday. When five thousand Boston fans, finding the park sold out, stormed a gate at Braves Field the night of the Bears-Yanks game and upset a ticket booth, the ticket seller found his cash drawer short $116. Sammy Baugh has gained two and one-tenth miles of ground for the Washington Redskins on 905 forward pass completions in nine seasons. Tom Harmon of the Los An geles Rams, says the incident he will remember longest about his football career was the day in California, when celebrating his birthday by getting away on a long touchdown run against the Bears, a drunk staggered in the field and tackled him. Bob Westfall expects to be sufficiently recovered from his fractured arm, suffered in a training camp intra - squad game, to take his place in the Detroit Lions’ backfield on open ing night against the Cardinals in Chicago on September 30. t Gary Famiglietti, veteran Chicago Bear full back sold to the Boston Yanks, aspires to become a place kicker. “On the Bears,” he explains, “every body is a specialist and they told me I was a plunger. But over here I think Coach Kopf will let me boot one once in awhile.” Senior Softball Schedule For Week Announced Doubleheaders Scheduled As Circuit Nears End Of Playing Season The Senior Class A softball league swings into the final rounds of play this week, it was announc ed by Bert Hewley, athletic di rector and head of the league.

ALEX ANTONIO WINS LEFTHANDERS TITLE GREENSBORO, Sept. 15 —(U.R)— Defending champion Alex Antonio won the National Lefthanders’ Golf Tournament for the third time Sunday by defeating Alvin Everett, of Rome, Ga., 4 and 2, on the Sedgefield Country Club Course. The 32-year-old service station operator from Linden. N. J., suc cessfully defended his title with brilliant playing throughout the day. He had won the championship twice previously — in 1938 and again in 1941. The tournament was held this year for the first time since 1941, ' when it was suspended because of the war.

After Murry Dickson had limit ed the Giants to three harmless safeties in registering his 13th victory against five defeats in the first game, the Cards had to use three pitchers, including their ace, Howie Pollet, to gain the de cision in the_ second game. Alpha Brazle, Redbird starter, was breezing along on a 6-1 lead going into the eighth inning when, without warning, the Giants fell upon him for three straight hits. George Munnger was summoned to the mound, but, after giving up a run-producing single to Sid Gordon, he made way for Pollet. Babe Young greeted Pollet with another run-scoring single, but the lean lefthander retired the next five men to preserve the Cards’ win. Bill Voiselle was the losing pitcher. Stan Musial, held to a single in the opener, lashed out three hits, including a two-run homer in the ninth inning, to pace Cards at bat. Whitey Kurowski and Harry Walker also collected three hits in the second game. FIRST GAME ST.

Tobacco State League Championship Lead Taken By Sampson CLINTON, Sept. 15. Earl Mosser pitched Clinton to their second win in three starts over Angier-Fuquay, Sunday in the Tobacco State league championship series, 6 to 5. Even though Jackson of the Colts blasted a homerun, double, and single off him Mosser held the rest of Angier’s sluggers under control. He walked one, striking out one. Angier threatened in the sixth inning, when they tied the score up at three-all on home runs by Jackson and Stephens, but a round tripper by Morris with Mosser on in the last half of that stanza wrecked the visitors’ hopes. The two clubs play again today at Angier.

The decision, coupled with Cin cinnati’s double defeat at the hands of Boston, gave the Phillies a full game grip on the top second di vision berth. Philadelphia went ahead early in the game that required 2 hours and 52 minutes, scoring four times in the second frame to lead 4-1. The Pirates got two runs back in the eighth, and tied the count in the top of the ninth as Hank Camelli doubled and Billy Cox singled home pinch runner Edson Bahr.

PASS OFFENSIVE TO BE STRESSED BY COACH TODAY New Hanover Wildcats Prepare For Laurinburg Encounter Friday Night Preparations for the Laurinburg football game Friday night at Leg. ion Stadium will begin this after noon at 13th and Ann field with Coaches Leon Brogden, Tom Davis, and Jap Davis stressing I probably passing defense and of fense. Kinston failed miserably in their running game, but the Red Devil air show proved remarkable as they ate up yard after yard on thi overhead offensive phase, which NHHS has worked on con tinuously during the past weeks. “Bubba” Sykes, ace 'Cat passer, attempted four tosses, and all fell incomplete. One hit an end in the chest, but the local flankman let it bounce off him. Unless things take unusual turn it will take a flip of a coin to tell who starts off in the Laurinburg affray. Herman Vick showed up splendidly in his debut at quarter back, figuring in every Wilming ton touchdown, and will be giving Sykes a run for his money for the signal calling slot. Rudy Johnson played great ball also, but Jim Gibson’s driving power was excep. tional. Lloyd Honeycutt proved to be the outstanding lineman of the encounter. He went in for Bill Kuhn, who was shaken up. Whether Kuhn gets the starting nod again may well depend on the two’s work this week in practice. Co-Captain Jimmy Piner rr ade undoubtedly the most beautiful run of the contest, when he went through guard, cutting to the left for a touchdown as no one laid a hand on him. Vick’s deception proved an important factor. He faked like a magician to the Wil mington fullback. SENATORS BLAST DETROIT, 15 TO 5 Washington Defeats Tigers In Game Featured By Seven Home Runs DETROIT, Sept. 15 — (JP) -* Paced by Buddy Lewis and Cecil Travis, who got nine hits between them, and Pitcher Early Wynn, who smashed a grand slam hom er, the Washington Senators plas tered the Detroit Tigers 15 to 5 here Sunday in a slugfest that in cluded seven home runs. Detroit’s first four runs all came on homers, two by Walter (Hoot) Even and one each by Roy Cul lenbine and Hank Greenberg — his 37th — but the Tigers’ homer power was wasted in the face of ar seven-run Washington splurge in the fifth, when Wynn lashed his grarid-slam blow off Johnny Gor sica. Stan Spence homerea for three more Senator runs in the eighth and Lewis, who already had four singles, hit a homer off' Hal White in the ninth. Travis knocked in tour Wash ington runs with four singles as the Nats kayoed Paul (Dizzy) Trout in the first five innings. Wynn, who took over for Roger Wolf in the fifth, was the wining pitcher.

CHICUBS CAPTURE FIRST GAME, 4-3 Brooklyn Takes Afterpiece, 2 To 0; Game Called In Fifth Inning TEN INNING DEFEAT Kirby Higbe Allows One Hit In Nightcap; Gnats Swarm Field BROOKLYN, Sept. 15—(/P)—The Brooklyn Dodgers, behind Kirby Higbe’s one-hit pitching, came back from an opening game 4-3, 10-inning defeat Sunday to shut ou1 the Chicago Cubs 2-0 in the after piece of a doubleheader that was called after five innings because of darkness and a sudden swarm of gnats which infested the park. As a result, the Dodgers fell a game and half back of the front running St. Louis Cardinals whe won twice from the New York Giants. The Cardinals advantage is all in the win column. The Dodgers got both their sec ond game runs against Hank Borowy in the first inning. Ed Stanky drew a walk, was sacrificed to second and scored on Augie ' Galan’s hit. Galan reached sec lond when Bill Nicholson fumbled the ball and came home on Dixie Walker’s double. Higbe pitched perfect ball in four of the five innings in winning his 16th game. In the second, with two out, Mickey Livingston sin gled and went to second as Nichol son walked. But Billy Jurges flied out. A pinch single by third string catcher Bob Scheffing drove in two runs in the 10th inning of the opener to offset a single tally by Brooklyn. Scheffing’s hit came off Joe Hatten after Ed Waitkus singled and Phil Cavarretta hit a ground rule double to send Hal Gregg to the showers. The Dodgers fought back in their half of the 10th, scoring once and leaving two runners on base when Ed Stevens flied out to end the game. With one away, Walker singled but Emil Kush, who had relieved Johnny Schmitz in the eighth, fanned Carl Furillo. Augie Galan came through with a double that scored Walker. Catcher Bruce Edwards then shot a line single to left but Galan was forced to halt at third when leftfielder Peanuts Lowrey made a fast recovery and fired the ball home. Kush then got Stevens on a soft fly. Held scoreless by Schmitz through the first five innings, the Brooks broke through for a single tally in the sixth when Bob Ramaz zotti singled and went to second on a walk to Stanky. Pee Wee Reese sacrificed and Ramazotti scored on Cookie Lavagetto’s fly to left. The Cubs had scored single runs in the first and fourth. After failing to score in the sev enth despite filling the bases with one out, the Brooks tied the count in the eighth on a walk to Reese, Lavagetto's sacrifice and Walker's run-producing single.
