7 TO 4 BRAVE WIN
Rookie Drives In Five,
Now Tops RBI Man
With 26 Total
CHICAGO. May 13— (ff>) —Earl
Torgeson, rookie first baseman,
continued his powerhouse hitting
today to lead the Boston Biaves
to a 7 to 4 victory over the Chica
go Cubs, who launched their west
ern invasion before 11,167 in Wrig
ley field.
“Torgy” drove in five runs with
a home run, two doubles and a
single in five times up. The homer
which came with two on, was his
eighth of the season an^ his sixth
in the last nine games. He now
has a runs-batted-in total of 26 to
top the National League in that
department.
Torgeson’s homer with Danny
Litwhiler and Phil Mast aboard
gave the Braves a 5-3 lead in
the fifth to overcome an earlier
three-run homer by Bob Scheffing
of the Cubs. Torgy also doubled
to the center field fence to drive
in two runs in the ninth off Emil
Kush, who had succeeded Johnny
Schmitz in the sixth.
Warren Spahn started for the
Braves and registered his fifth
straight victory. He was driven to
cover in the sixth, how-ever, and
Anton Karl salvaged the decision
for him. Karl didn’t allow a run
ner to pass first base and yielded
only two of the Cubs' nine hits.

TITLE ANNIVERSARY
DETROIT, May 13 — (IP)— De

it up tonight lor its idol of them
all, heavyweight champion Joe
Louis, on the double-barreled oc
casion of the Brown Bomber s
33rd birthday and the 10th anni
versary of his ascendance to the
title.
Louis, who swept out of the De
troit slums in the mid-thirties to
flatten everything in his path to
the championship, took the title
from Jimmy Braddock June 22,
1937, in Chicago and hasn’t re
linquished it through 23 success
ful defenses since.
Joe came here Sunday from
Cleveland to visit his mother, play
some golf, attend to some busi
ness and celebrate his birthday,
.but he didn’t know what a cele
bration it was going to be.
A Detroit insurance company
which lists both Louis and his
manager, John Roxborough, on
its board of directors took the
lead in hiring a hall, arranging
for the cake and all the fixings
and distributing tickets—approxi
mately 1,000 of them.
TEXTRON PLANT TO CLOSE
LOWELL, Mass., May 13.—(£>)—
Peter A. Beddow, plant manager,
announced tonight that the Textron
Company plant here will close in

and added that the "textile Indus

YES, HE WAS SAFE. Ron Northey, newly-acquired St. Louis Cardinal
outfielder, slides in home on Terry Moore’s single in the 10th inning
of the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader at Pittsburgh. The Cards
wen out, 10-6. The second game was a 3-3 tie, ending in the sixth
because of the Smoky City’s Sunday law.
Sox Blast Blues, 19-2;
Twins, Sanford Win Out
Lopsided scores, rapidly becom
ing a specialty in the Tobacco
State League, showed themselves
again last night as Warsaw beat
the Clinton Blues 19-2, the Dunn
Erwin Twins whacked Selma-Smith
field 11-5, and the front-running
Sanford Spinners whitewashed Red
Springs, 6-0.
Warsaw gathered up $8 hits to
make their 19 tallies, with Cy
Faircloth coasting along in his
first start to an easy decision. The
Red Sox assured him of a win as
they scored nine times in the sixth
inning. Jordan, the third baseman
for the Sox, outdid himself while
at the plate last night, driving
across five mates and collecting
four hits in' six times at bat. The
Blues used three pitchers.
Jackson and Bell were the boys
who ran the game in the hitting
department for the Dunn-Erwin
Twins last night, collecting a homer
apiece and driving in three runs
each to assure victory over Smith
field, 11-5. The game was high
lighted by five doubles, three
triples and the two circuit clouts.
Sanford, . unstoppable .Sanford,
was just as reluctant to lose last
night as they have been all sea
son, Bill Stone whiffing 12 Robins
for his third win of the year. He
allowed only four hits, and Red
Springs just never had a chance.

splurge was fed with five hits by
the Fraternity and two errors by
VFW. In all. Senior Fraternity
collected seven bingles off the
VFW’s Butler. The losers got six
hits.
The Post office really laid it on
the Moose last night, scoring seven
markers in the sixth inning alone
to come up with a 18-9 victory.
Moose put gravy on the Post Of
fice’s chicken when they commit
ted 16 errors. Post office was not
altogether faultless in their field
play either. They made eight
muscues.
Davis hurled for the Post Of
fice, while Harrell pitched for the
Moose. Davis stopped the Moose
with six hits, but those eight errors
and a few walks didn’t help his
situation any. It was likewise for
Harrell. He gave up only 11 hits
for the 18 runs, but 16 misplays

’PACK SUFFERS
THIRD DEFEAT
BY JIGGS POWERS
WHITEVILLE, May 13 — The
Whiteville Wolfpack’s Dan Wil
liams was credited with his third
3-2 loss of the season in Red
Springs tonight,-as the Red Springs
high school nine defeated the Pack
with the help of three errors.
Williams, the Pack’s “hard luck’’
pitcher, is the only team hurler to
lose a game this season, and
each decision has been lost by
a 3-2 score. One error by Wil
liams himself and a Red Springs
batter being hit by one of his
pitched balls proved to be the
deciding factors.
In the first inning. Red Spring’s
Norris doubled and scored on Wil
liams’ bobble of Coleman’s ground
er.
The fourth inning found Wil
liams hitting Coleman with a pitch
ed ball. Edwards doubled him
home. These two runs, coupled
with the winning tally in the
enghth on two doubles, were
enough for Red' Springs.
Whiteville scored both of their
runs in the first half of the fourth
when Andy Anderson. ’Pack catch
er, hit an inside-the-park home
run with Williams on base.
Williams struck out 15 in his
defeat, while Bill Wright, the Red
Springs hurler,allowed five hits
and whiffed 13.
