Bums Take First Place;
Yanks Trim TigerMargin
DETROIT, June 5 —Jfl— New
York's surging Yankees closed in
or league-leading Detroit today
with a 7 t° 0 victory that trimmed
Tigers’ first place edge to a
fingle game.
Spurgeon (Spud) Chandler, who
pitched a three-hit shutout, and
Tommy Henrich, who smacked a
pair of home runs, were the fair
haired boys today as the Yanks
took their fourth victory in six
games with Detroit this year and
won the series three games to one.
The game was interrupted for
,even minutes by a shower and
enlivened by a near-brawl a few
moments later when Y'ankee
catcher Ralph Houk was put out
ot the game and Tiger pitcher
Freddie Hutchinson banished from
the dugout as a result of a series
of run-ins around the plate in the
tourth inning.
Bill Johnson, who had singled,
bowled Detroit catcher Hal Wag
ner over as he scored on Phil
Rizzuto’s double ana Houk, await
ing his turn at bat, charged Wag
ner when he thought the Detroit
oackstop was blocking Johnson off
the plate.
Players from Doth dugoucs pour
td onto the field and Hutchinson
started swinging at Johnny Luca
jello before the umpires restored
irder. Plate umpire Bill McKinley
waved both Houk and Hutchinson
in the showers for their parts in
the fracas.

“Shuney” Brittain Will Wear
Mask Tonight For Pepsi-Cola
_ i —- -
Shuney Brittain, barred from
organized baseball but free to par
ticipate in semi - pro competition,
makes his first appearance at
Legion Stadium since the “Mungo
affair” tonight immediately fol
lowing the Masonboro Clam
diggers’ game with Hampstead at
7:30 o’clock. Shuney will be wear
ing a Pepsi Cola uniform and
catching the slants of Vic Gore in
Pepsi’s Cape Fear league contest
with the Winter Park Rangers.
Brittain has ben playing for a
semi-pro outfit in Georgia and
should be in fairly good shape.
The only possible drawback for
Shuney is his hands, which are
now giving him some trouble Ac
cording to Skeet James, Pepsi
Col . pilot, Shuney will be hehind
the platter at game time even
though Murphy Scoggins and Lap
Williams may be neded before
the game’s completion.
In the curtain raiser at 7:30 a
seven-inning encounter will be
played betwen the Masonb o r o
Clamdiggers and Hampstead. Bob
Edwards, ex-North Carolina State
flipping standout, is slated to twirl
for the Clamdiggers while Horace
Whedbee is Hampstead’s likely
mound choice. Edwards defeated
Winter Park and Pepsi-Cola in his
last two efforts. Howard Pepper
will be ready for relief if needed.
The backstops for the two flippers
are scheduled to be Dan George
for Masonboro and Rudy Johnson,
ex-NHHSstar, for Hampstead.
Hampstead also has signed New
Hanover High’s fine shortstop, J.
C Price, and he will perform at
shortstop.
Frank Hines, manager of the

to use the Veteran Norwood Skip
per as his opening hurler with A1
Tatum behind die plate.

ATHLETES RECEIVE
TAR HEEL AWARDS
CHAPfCL HILL, June 5 —
Athletes from Wilmington, San
ford, Elizabethtown, and White
ville have been accorded recogni
tion as members of the Univer
sity of North Carolina’s spring
sports teams.
George Whitted, Wilmington,
was one of the 14 members of the
junior varsity baseball team,
while George D. Hardee, White
ville, and James M. Kelly, Eliza
bethtown, received varsity base
ball monograms.
A track monogram was earned
by Norman McLeod, Sanford, who
was one of the 29 members of the
Tar Heel Southern Conference
thinclad champions.
In all, 66 awards were mad*
in baseball, track, boxing, and
golf.
Horsehide Bashing Takes
Spotlight In Weed Circuit
One double sweep and a pasting
were accomplished in the Tobac
co State league last night, as
well as a sene split of a double
header.
In Lumberton, the Cubs, laid 12
2 and 18-4 barrage on the Selma
Smithfield Leafs, while the San
ford Spinners swamped Dunn-Er
win, 25-5. Red Springs won the sec
ond game of a twin bill from War
saw 8-4. after being blanked 3-0
in the first.
Red Surings continued with their
baseball Recovery act by winning
the nightcap of a doubleheader
with Warsaw, 8-4. The Red Sox’s
Carl “Cyclone” Johnson parceled
out three hits in the opener to set
the Robins down 3-0.
Six Warsaw errors helped Red
Springs quite a bit in the second
game. After the Robins had knot
ted the score at 4-4 in the last of
the sixth, they tallied the remain
der of the games run's in the
eighth. Rookie Harold Wood got
a double and a single in four times
at bat to continue his sensational
play for the Robins.
The Sanford massacre of Dunn
Erwin started out to be exactly
the opposite thing. Although the
Spinners won by the rather con
clusive score of 25-5, the Twins
blasted Sanford for five runs in
the first inning. But the Spin
ners were just playing hard-to-get.
In the third, Sanford scored
once. It was not until the sixth
that they went ahead, 7-5. How
ever, eight runs in the seventh,
four in the eighth, and six in the
ninth made four Dunn pitchers
embarrassed. Altogether, Sanford
got 21 hits, eight of them for ex
era bases, including a home run
by Watson. Jimmy Watson batted
in five runs with two doubles and a
fly, while Bruce Hedrick got three
singles, a double and a triple.
The Cubs dealt double destruc
tion to the hapless Smithfield
Leafs, 12-2, and 18-4, and the
pitching had plenty to do with
both wins. Manuel Garcia gave up
exactly three hits to the Leafs in
the first game. Bob Spicer was
having a good night himself in the
second, allowing seven bingles.
Lumberton scored seven times
in the first two innings to ice the
opener, and nine runs in the last
half of the eighth in the second
left no room for argument as to
who was the winner of the twin
bill.

Fear Twin Bill
Loyal Order of Moose fell upon
the Senior Fraternity for seven in
nings in the opener of a Hanover
softball doubleheader at Robert
Strange park last night, drubbing
the Fraternity 12-6. Pest Office
took its ninth straight win in beat
ing Blackwoods’ cellarmen, 9-6.
The Moose, collecting 12 hits off
Brown and Duncan, jumped to a
four-run lead in the first inning.
A single tally in the initial frame
and two more in the second put
Fraternity back into the game.
However, a six-run third inning
by Moose settled things, and their
hurler, Harrell, squeaked through
to an 11-hit victory.
Taylor aided the lost cause with
a double and a home run, and
Turner also collected two hits in
four trips. Robbins had’ a single
and a triple for Moose, while Ea
ton got two for four.
Breaking a 1-1 tie with a four
run splurge in the third inning,
the Post Office nine was never
headed in their 9-6 decision over
Blackwoods. The debacle was the
tenth in a row for the Braves,
while the Mailmen extended their
winning streak to nine, and their
pitcher, Davis, racked up his fifth
victory.
Hubert Council had a perfect
night in the batter's box for Post
Office, getting three singles in as
many trips. Hobbs knocked out
two binges in four times for the
losers.
Tonight’s Class A Municipal
League twinbill will see Alpha
Omega and City Optical filling in
both ends. C. F. Bell and Clyde
Jordan are expected to go one-two
for Omega, while the Eyemen are
to use Bob Shipp and A. L. King.

Special To The Star
CLINTON, June 5—Holding on to their one-game mar
gin in second place, Wilmington achieved a twin bill split
with the Sampson Blues here tonight, taking the first game
2-1 behind the two-hit pitching of Fred Townsend, and
failing with a late rally in the nightcap, 8-7.
With the first game victory, the Pirates broke the
Clinton jinx. In winning the series, two games to one,
the Corsairs won their first victories of the season over
the Blues.
Tonight, the Pirates tangle with Sanford in the Spin
ners DacK yara. Bom teams go
to Wilmington Saturday for a 7:45
p.m. game in Legion stadium.
Townsend’s masterpiece, his
third straight win, was a repeat
performance of his 2-1 topping of
Bed Springs in Wilmington Mon
day night. He whiffed three Samp
scnites and walked four.
The Pirates scored both of their
runs in the second, with Bob
LaBlanc doubling in Andy Joklem
ba for the decision. Earlier in the
inning, Eddie Hardisky had walk
ed, stolen second, taken third on
a short single by Benton, and had
come home when Poklemba forc
ed Bridges at second.
Clinton’s only run came in the
last of the seventh. Vorrell walk
ed, took second on an error by
Jim Staton, and scored when Van
Mungo singled.
Bill Kaires was the losing pitch
er, doing double duty by turning
in a relief stint in the second
game. He allowed only five hits,
three of them by Harry Bridges,
fanned seven, and passed the only
Wilmington player to gain a free
ticket all night, Hardisky. Morris
got Clinton’s other hit.
The second game just missed
being a Buc victory. They went
on a three-run scoring spree in

In the only other Eastern State

“Weenie” Brown, who beat them
a few weeks ago in Southport,
15-8. Jack Hughes is the Yellow
Jacket hurler.
The Whiteville-Masonboro af

while giving up only six hits, is
expected to start against the
Ramblers. Maner has said that he
may use his 14-year-old find,
Claude King, against the Com

Classy Tony Janiro of Youngstown
makes his middleweight debut when
he clashes with Jacob LaMotta
(above), high-ranking Bronx battler
in a ten-rounder at Madison Squat*
Garden tonight.
Janiro was a lightweight when b*
started his pro career three years ago.
He later established himself as a
top-flight welterweight. Now he is
moving into the 160-lb. division.
Tony has won 59 out of 62 fights but
in tackling his first middleweight, be
has picked a tough nut to crack.
LaMotta is one of boxing’s most
unusual physical specimens. Jawbone
Jake is a human block of granite.
He belongs to the mauler class and
is a smashing body puncher. The
Bronxite has agreed to make 156
pounds for his meeting with Janiro.
