With both the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers
in a position tc cop the National league bunting, it’s unusual
to find a native New Yorker who says St. Louis will be the
foe of the Yankee5 in the coming World Series classic, but
that’s Freddie Muscemeci, top-notch base thief of the W il
mington Pirates.
Still several games behind the rampaging Dodgers,
the Cardinals get the nod from both Muscemeci and his
infield pal Bob Steckel, but there the similarity ends.
Steckel says Cardinal experience in last year's series
will prove too much for the \anks to beat, but Musce
meci says the Bronx Bombers are going to be the new
world champions.
It’s kinda pathetic . . . this
rooting by Steckel for the
Cardinals. He’s from Pennsyl
vania, and his state’s two rep
resentatives, the Pirates of
Pittsburgh and the Phils, are
currently .waging a hot con
test for the role of doormat.
Steckel would just as soon
skip that.
As far as Wilmington
goes, both the Bucs pre
dict the end of the year
will find the locals in
second place, not too far
behind Sanford. They
both agree the team is
hustling better under
Jim Staton, but don’t feel
it’s very probable that
the club will beat out the
Soinners.
it s lr.e tariKs
MUSCEMECI
“But, we’ll be closer than we are now, iney agree.
Glad to see Staton in the driver’s seat, neither
Pirate discounted Nate Andrews’ ability as a manager,
but were in accord that the ex-major league hurler
lacked the interest shown in the team by Staton.
Muscemeci straightened some fans out on Steckel, who
is beginning to hit the ball harder than his mates. It wasn t
long ago that the Bucs were in a rough losing streak, and
Steckel was singled out as the player to ride by the fans
who have got to have a goat.
“It was unfair,” Muscemeci said, as we blinked at
his yellow sweater which shouldn’t happen to a dog.
“Bob couldn’t go to his left for a grounder, and maybe
he looked a little bad at times. But the players knew
that h;s left leg was bandaged from an injury that he
wasn’t talking too much about because at that time we
were shorthinded, and no one could fill in.” Steckel re
mained silent, but we learned his leg is okeh now.
The Buc shortstop had a pal in A1 Lento, and he was
mighty sad to see his ex-semi-pro mate traded. Muscemeci
can’t get over the feeling that someday soon Lento, now
with the Dunn-Erwin Twins, will face the Pirates and beat
them. “Hope he doesn’t, but A1 is a lot better than most
folks thought. He needed work, and he was only pitching
once every coupla weeks,” Freddie explained.
Both lads are first year men in pro ball. Steckel
had a tryout with Hagerstown in the Interstate league,
but he ended up here, and Muscemeci was one of a few
New Yorkers who answered an ad to attend George
Stirnweiss’ school at Bartow, Fla., where Andrews
signed him. <
It’s The Cards
STECKEL
Incidentally, the Buc speed
ster turned down a chance to
go into the Yankee chain at
$100 a month, because An
drews offered him more than
half again as much with Wil
mington. He’s not sorry, but
he’d like to end up with the
Yankee organization some
day.
Freddie's a great
champion of the Stirn
weiss school. It’s expand
ed this year, and will be
out on the West Coast
also. Bui, Muscemeci and
Eddie Hardisky will be
in Bartow again next,
spring working out to gel
in shape for 1948.
“Only this time wTe won’t
have to pay,” Freddie grin
ned. They asked us to help out for room and board, and
Eddie and I are gonna do it.”
As is the usual system, the contracts of the two
Pirates (and all others we are told) are for one year.
It’s a safe bet that local fans won't see Muscemeci here
next year, much as they'd like to. The classy fielding,
dependable hitting shortstop is slated for at least Class
B ball next year, and hanging around with major
leaguers at Bartow isn’t gping to hurt him as far as
getting his chance. It’s a good contact both he and
Hardisky made last season.
As for Steckel, if he continues to hit the way he has
for the past two weeks, he’-ll be a hard man to keep in D
ball also.
Right now Freddie and Bob aren’t too interested in
next year, because they figure there’s a long two month
season ahead of them, and then the play-offs.
And they’re just as sure as we are, that with a little
hurling aid, the Pirates will be in second place in September,
only a few games off the pace of the Spinners. If some
other clubs will kick Sanford down, the Pirates may be on
the pinnacle.
However, when the World Series begins, the infield
pair will no longer be friends.
“It’s the Cards,” says Steckel.
“It’s the Yanks,” says Muscemeci, as he planned to
skirt Brooklyn when he returns home this fall.

Lamb Hurls Five-Hitter For Tenth Wjn;

-—- -¥
Steckel, Benton Hit Hard
As Pirates Sweep Series;
Play In Warsaw^ Today
Hefty Roy Lamb came up with his tenth win of the
year, as he chucked a five-hitter past Selma-Smithfield last
night at Legion stadium, and Pirate bats thundered over
the New Hanover county countryside to turn a 13-hit as
1, • i rr-< • _ J_ -X
sauit into a vie lux y.
Lamb should have had a shutout,
but a passed ball in the ninth set
up the only Leaf tally, Carroll
singling home the run after Lamb
had fanned two enemy hitters.
Eddie Hardisky then ended the
tilt with a fielding gem off Bern
stein.
The Bucs opened scoring in the
irst frame when Eddie Hardisky
doubled and moved to third on
Bill Benton’s infield hit. The
Buc base-runners promptly pulled
a double steal, Hardisky scoring.
In the second, the roof fell in
on Joe Eonta. Andy Poklemba
Morris Wade, business man
ager of the Wilmington Pirates
late last night said Nate An
drews’ return to the Pirate
fold' pushed Bob LeBlanc on
the suspended list for seven
days. LeBlanc is reportedly
suffering from a sore arm.
Wade also said Tobacco State
league clubs were attempting
to shorten the time a player
must remain on the suspended
list to thre days. No mention
was made of Andrews’ salary
as a pitcher.
hoisted to the outfield, but Bob
Steckel beat out an infield roller
down the third base line. Skipper
Jim Staton gave Steckel the hit
and run sign, and then singled
perfectly behind the runner ana
Steckel trotted to third. Lamb
strolled, filling the bases.
Freddie Muscemeci slashed one
to short, forcing Lamb, but Steckel
scored. Hardisky hit one in front
of the plate and Staton beat the
peg to the plate, Muscemeci check
ing in at third. Again Hardisky
scampered down to second base
beating the throw, and Musce
meci scored when Howard booted
the ball. Benton tripled savagely
down the right field line, the But
keystoner hitting paydirt. Ben<*>n
crossed him plate a moment later
on a passed ball. Hoggy Davis
singled, but Harry Bridges flied
out to end the nightmare.
In the fifth, the Pirates tallied
again, as Lamb kept mowing down
the Leafs allowing just two scratch
hits up till the sixth. Davis hit
the left field wall for two bases,
and after Bridges and Poklemba
went out. Steckel kept his hitting
streak alive with a two bagger
scoring Davis, but the Pirate third
sacker was out trying to go to
third on the play.
The Bucs travel to Warsaw to
day for a single game, and ex
Manager Nate Andrews may be a
surprise hurler. Andrews was
back in uniform last night, and
Bob LeBlance was put on the su
spended list to make room for
the ex-pilot.

SPINNERS SPLIT
WITH WARSAW
WARSAW, July 26—Warsaw and
Sanford divided two games here
today and tonight, the Spinners
winning the afternoon tilt 4-3 and
Warsaw coming back behind Dick
Whitmire to win the nightcap, 4-2.
After Sanford took a two run
lead behind the hurling of George
Bortz, Warsaw pecked away and
tied it up with single runs until the
fifth.
Scrobola singled to open the fifth,
and moved to second on a hit by
Stephens. Bohanntn looked at four
aad ones, and loaded the bases.
Jones singled home Scrobola, and
McCarty’s fly tallied Stephens.
Whitmire checked the hard-hit
ting Spinners for the rest of the
way.
In the first game the Spinners
failed to score an earned run.
With two out in the seventh, Shof
:ner singled and Holiday strolled.
Lail dropped Opperman’s fly, and
Shoffner tallied. Holiday traveling
to third and then scoring on a
passed ball.
Warsaw threatened in the ninth.
Behind 4-1, Stephens drew a base
on balls to open the inning, Lail
skied out, but Bohannon pinch
singled and Jones walked to load
the bases. John McFadden, San
ford’s ace fireman came in to re
lieve Watson, and walked Whit
mire to force in one run. Jordan
singled for a second marker, and
then Sayler lined into Guinn’s
glove, Jordan was doubled off
first, killing the rally.
