Whiteville Comets To Play Bladenboro Spins Saturday New Ball Park At Bladen boro To Be Dedicated At Contest BY JIGGS POWERS Sta' Correspondent WHITEVILLE, April 17. — Since old Jupiter Pluvius cheated them out of their opening home game last Sunday, Whiteville’s Comets will again attempt to get their Eastern State League schedule un der way on Saturday afternoon, April 12, at 3 p. m., when they tangle with the powerful Bladen boro Spinners In the latters park. This will be the first home game of the year for the Spins and will be the dedicatory contest for the new park that will house the East ern State League games of this years Bladenboro club. Manager Earl Brinkley is plan ning to send either Roger Har wood, runner-up among last years ESL pitchers; or David Neilson, who had fairly good luck with the Spins in last years games, to the hill in an attempt to bring the vic tory back home from the Bladen bailiwick. In this years only test, Harwood gave the Elizabethtown Red Sox four hits in five innings, while Neilson, taking over during the last four racks relinquished only two bingles. The Comets showed that they could use the stick well in this battle, pounding out a total of 15 hits in downing the Sox, 18-0. Billy Harrelson will in all probability be behind the bat for the Comets; since David Hooks, promising young backstop slated for the local receiving position, has had to give up baseball in the ESL. H. B. Hargrove, manager of the Bladenboro aggregation, sent his nine off to a flying start on last Sunday when they climbeg out a 10-1 decision over the Red Sox of Elizabetntown, on tne losers tieict, in the only ESL opener that was played. Johnny Hammonds, third baseman, and William Hester, out fielder, led the massacre with four hits for five trips each. Levy Bridger, Jr., the mainstay of the Spins hill staff, gave up six puny singles in winning his first start of 1947. Bridger is expected to toe the rubber for the Bladen club Saturday against the Comets. Business Manager Dewey Hooks, of the Whiteville team, announced this morning that the Bladenboro team would also play an exhibition game in Whiteville on this Sun day, April 13, at 2:30. This game wiii have no bearing on the East ern loop race but a tough battle is expected, since these teams al ways battle down to the wire when they meet. Hooks said that he would be unable to say just who could be expected to pitch, since the League contest on the day before would be the more im portant of the two and the out come of this game would also de cide just who would hurl in the Sunday contest.
