Smithfield Halts Cabs; Red Springs, Spins Win Nesselrode Blasts Home Run Number 23; Brilliant Double Play Dumps Warsaw; Two Homers Smash Lumberton Rain halted the Sanford-Dunn game last night at San ford, but the losing.clut, namely Dunn-Envin, was only too glad to get under the showers. The Skinners were far ahead, 14-3, when the torrents fell. In the three other To bacco State loop encounters Wilmington whipped Clinton, 4-1; Smithfield-Selma outclubbed Lumberton, 3-1; and Warsaw lost a thriller to Red Springs, 9-8. Wood’s home run in the top oi the ninth inning proved the blow that gave Red Springs its 9-8 win over Warsaw. The mighty clout came off Carl “Cyclone” Johnson and sent the brilliant righthander down to his eighth defeat against nine victories. Despite the licking Johnson struck out eight Robins, raising his whiff total for the sea son to 193. Behind 9-7 going into the last of the ninth things looked terrible for the Red Sc:-:. Andy Scrobola start ed a last ditch rally by singling to left field. Stephens received a walk as the Warsaw fans clamored for a winning outburst. Elmer Bo hannon forced Scrobola out at third, however, for the first out of the inning. Lail, batting for. McCarty, hit to left field and Clayton errored the fly, permitting Stephens to score and Bohannon to take sec ond. Jones, Warsaw catcher, came to the plate with men on second and first and one out. He picked out a slant and drove it to left field. The bah appeared to be a certain roundtripper, but it dropped suddenly right against the fence in the waiting glove of Clayton. Bohannon, who was digging home, watched 'helplessly as Clayton toss ed to second base for a double play ending the ball game. Three home runs featured the game ■ at Smithfield. Leading 1-0 going into the last of the fifth the Leafs were awarded the winning run on a roundtripper by Pete Howard, his second circuit blast in two nights. Then to make things even more secure Joe Eonta, Smithfield outfielder, unloaded an other four-master in the sixth. A1 Osossky, Leaf pitcher, looked as if he was well on the way to a shutout after putting down Pearsall in the final inning. Cabaniss, Lum berton second baseman, didn't share the Leaf ace’s thoughts and promptly proved it by clouting a 345-foot homer over the left field fence. Osossky set down the re maining two batters, however, for the victory. He struck out four and walked four. The stick work of hammering Hank Nesselrode and Bruce Hed rick sparked the Sanford Spinners to their 14-3 smashing of Dunn Erwin. Nesselrode poled his home run No. 23 and batted in five runs to help his league leading mark in the RBI department. Hedrick also hit for the circuit. The big catcher batted across four counters. Bortz, on the mound for Sanford, ipitched five-hit ball, striking out ii'ive and walking seven. The sev en free passes played a big part in Dunn's scoring. Last night’s game gave Sanford a record of 54 runs scored in three contests for an average of 18 runs per game. What a team , to pitch against Tobacco State league hurl ers are probably saying: This tremendous outburst of tal lies came with just six innings' of play as rain washed the last three frames out. _- _ AT SMITHFIELD LUMBERTOX AB R H O A E Wood, ss .....__._ 4 0 1 0 6 0 Stanley, 3b_ 4 0 13 10 Marx, lb_ 3 0 2 11 0 0 Jamin if_.—..._- 3 0 0 2 1 0 Pearsall, cf____ 4 0 0 1 C 0 Cabaniss, 2b - 4 1 3 2 2 0 Dfxon, rf _ 4 0 1 0 0ft Knisely, c _ 3 0 14 10 Lorman, p - — — 2 0 0 1 0 0 Spicer, x __ 1 0 0 ft 0 0 x—Batted for Lorman in 9th.

The Giant artillery opened up in the fourth, with Johnny Mize lacing his 31st homer of the sea son with two on off Bucky Wal ters. Catcher Walker Cooper emu lated Mize’s feat in the sixth with his 24th of the year, and the Giants added their final run in, the seventh with a conventional two singles wrapped around a base on balls. Andy Hansen s aossy rebel hurl ing came to an end in the Reds’ eighth when Hatton shot one over tile right field screen with two mates aboard. Cincinnati reliefer Harry Gumpert was the winner.

For Newspaper Service Dial 2-3311 Hewlett, Bucs Defeat Blues, 4 -1 Bums Run Streak To 13, Sweep Card Series With 2-1 Victory ST. LOUIS, July 31—{£>)—Brooklyn waltzed out of town today with a 13-game winning streak, a 10-game isa tional league lead and a clean sweep of its important series with the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals oft a l victory in the finale. ___ Pee. Wee Reese, whose tentn inning single had nullified the Cards' dramatic uphill surge last night, came through with a ninth inning triple today scoring Bruce Edwards who had singled. The winning smash hugged the fair side of the right field foul line. The triumph, spun by little Viv Lombardi, only recently restored to grace as a regular s arter, gave the Brooks their second long est winning string in history. The club record of 15 was established by Uncle Wilbert Robinson’s Robins of 1924. Just as in last night’s game when the Cards came back to force the issue at the last second, the champs rallied in the last of the ninth after Reese’s blow had broken a .1-1 tie. Joe Medwick opened the home ninth with a double high off the right field screen. Manager Eddie Dyer sent in Chuck Diering to run for Medwick and he took third base on Marty Marion’s sacrifice bunt. With the tying run on third I and one out, pinch hitter Terry Moore hit a hard smash to rthird baseman Johnny Jorgensen and the rookie tagged Diering off third for the second out. Jorgensen’s peg to first, trying for Moore, was low and got away •from Jackie Robinson for a mo ment, precipitating an argument. Robinson tagged M6ore, whom the Dodgers claimed had made a move to run for second base. Almost the entire Brooklyn team huddled around umpire Dusty Boggess for five minutes arguing' that Moore be declared out. Boggess ruled, however, that Moore did not make -2 a definite break for second and allowed him to remain on first. Although Dyer sent in the fleet . Joffre Cross to run for Moore, Howie Pollet ended his own game by flying out to Dixie Walker.

July 31— JP)—Jer sey Joe Walcott of Camden, N. J., will climb into me Madison Square Garden ring November 14 to face Joe Louis without having, in theory at least, a chance of lift ing the heavyweight champion’s title. The match, announced today by Sol Strauss, acting director of the 20th Century Sporting club, is bill ed as a 10-found non-title fight. And Inasmuch as a bout must be booked for 15 rounds to be con sidered as a championship fight in New York, Walcott would seem <o be fighting only for any pres tige he might attain. That, and what is known as money. However, the general idea around Jacobs’ Beach is that should Jersey Joe win by a knock out he would be regarded generally as champion, ana even should he win a clean-cut decision he would have at least an unofficial claim to tne title. The National Boxing association also recognizes only 15-round bouts for the championship, except in possible member states where 15 round bouts are not permitted. Prexy Abe Greene said that should Walcott win by a kayo no commis sion could deny him title claim. Although, according to the New York rule, it is a non-title fight, the fact Louis would, in the public mind at least, be considered au ex-champion, were he to be knock ed out makes it theoretically his 24th title defense. According to the records, no boxing champion has ever lost his crown by knockout in such a non-title affair. . AT WARSAW RED SPRINGS .

Ernorv Hewlett won his fourth victory of the year by scattering i't liits by the Blues and holding them scoreless until eignin inning. Bright fielding on the part of Harry Bridges and Bill Alsnauer contributed heavily to Hewlett’s win, his second straight. Bridges made two magnificent running catches of fouls, and robed Blues’ catcher, Ward of at least a dou ble in the eighth by grabbing a sizzling grounder which bounded off the bag. The play occurred in the eighth, Clinton having already pushed one rufi across and men being on first and second. Brid ges’ successful stab and putout ended the threat. » The Pirates nicked Severn Wright and Loser Bill Turnage for eight hits, including two doubles by Andy Poldemba and one each by Hoggy Davis and Billy Ben ton.
