Bucs Meet Warsaw Tonight
BOTH CLUBS MAY
PRESENT LEAGUE
OPENER LINEUPS
Contest Slated At Ameri
can Legion Stadium At
7:45 O’clock
Nate Andrews may take the
mound tonight when the Pirates
cross hats with the Warsaw Red
Sox, at Legion Stadium at 7:45
o’clock. The Pirate skipper is ex
pected to face the ace of the
Duplin club’s mound corps, Carl
Johnson.
Tonight’s opener is the first of
a four game series slated between
the two Tobacco State League
clubs. It will be the first game
for the Pirates against a member
of the Weed circuit.
The contest should prove an in
teresting one with the dismal rem
nants of the slow, sluggish Pirates
of 1946, brightened by the addition
of such brilliant newcomers as
Muscemeci, Bridges, and Benton,
out to prevent Warsaw’s new To
bacco league entry from winning
their initial tussle with the Bucs.
Both clubs will be using their
first string lineups in the four
game series with the pitchers get
ting the nod to go the full distance.
If Andrews flings the first tilt
lefty Emory Hewlett will probably
take the mound for the second tilt,
Johnny Edens the third, and Larry
DiOrio the fourth.
After the Warsaw series the
Bucs engage Lumberton April 29
and then raise the curtain on their
Tobacco league campaign in Wil
mington against the Cubs.
Although Andrews is the dean of
the Pirate hill corps the 17-year
old Hewlett is the toast of the
camp. The rookie practically hurl
ed himself into a starting role
with Wilmington last week when
he tossed four-hit ball against the
Kinston Eagles, winning 10 to 1.
During his performance Hewlett
struck out eight and had trouble
with the Eagles in only the first
frame in which they scored their
one run. His control was good as
he delivered only two walks.
Lefty’s teammates praised him af
ter the game, but Hewlett still
wasn’t satisfied, saying: “I can
do better.”

Coast Line, Spofford
Capture Class A Games
A four-run outburst in the sixth
inning enabled the Atlantic Coast
Line softball team to defeat City
Optical, 7 to 5, last night in the
first game of a Class A Softball
league doubleheader at Robert
Strange park. Lawrence Cook pitch
ed three-hit ball in the second con
test to give Spofford Mills their
third straight victory, 7 to 1, over
Alpha Omega.
Wearing sparkling new uniforms
the Opticians ran up a 5 to 1 lead
by the fifth inning, but a two run
rally in the last of the fifth and four
more tallies in the sixth clinched
the tilt for Manager Lefty Che
shire’s Railroaders. Pacing the hit
ters were Shands of Atlantic Coast
Line with two for two and McCall,
Griffith, Braswel, and Shipp of
City Optical with one for three
each. The big blow of the tilt was
a long home run by Whedbee of
A. C. L. in the second inning.

Yanks Win, 3-0
NEW YOI4K, April 23—(AP)—Al
lie Reynolds, who came to New
York from Cleveland in the Joe
Gordon deal, made a brilliant
Yankee home debut today with
a two-hit, 3-0 win over Boston’s
Red Sox that missed being a no
hitter by the margin of two late
inning blows by Rudy York.
The husky righthander had a no
hitter for 6 1-2 frames until York,
“The Big Indian” from Carter
ville, Ga., doubled into left cen
ter. Again in the ninth it was York
who was the villian. He slapped a
single past shortstop Phil Rizzuto
after two were out.
