Albemarle League I Opens; Locals Win ■> Over PertylDim Jordan Allows Only 7 Hits; Final Score 9T05 Edenton won the Albemarle Lea gue opener in Perrytown, Bertie County, Sunday afternoon as Lester Jordan, local right-hander, unlimber ed his pitching arm through nine in nings to allow the Perrytown boys seven hits while Edenton gathered ten. The score was almost tied up through the sixth, standing at that ). ? time at 3-2 in favor of Edenton and it looked like a real ball game. At the end of the ninth, however, Eden ton was the winner, 9 to 5. This is not the old-time Albemarle League when Edenton, Hertford, and Elizabeth City hauled in all the best professional baseball material they could find. The six teams composing the present Albemarle League are made up of local talent exclusively and the boys are playing for the pure love of the game. An organization meeting held in the Hotel Joseph Hewes late in April, and a later one held in Plymouth, ac cording to Floyd Cayton, manager of the local club, culminated in the setting up of a schedule whereby each of the six teams will play three games a week, and whereby all teams will be made up entirely of local boys, some home from college and some still in high school. I Edenton’s next games are with Windsor there on Saturday after noon at 3:30, and with Windsor here on Sunday afternoon at the same hour. The game will be played here in the Mill Park. Perrytown comes to Edenton for a return game on Fri day afternoon. Though Perrytown used its star twirler Miller in the tangle with Edenton Sunday afternoon, the initial win gives the locals something to work on, with an advantage to start. The season will end in a blaze of ac tion near the middle of' August as the four leading aggregations will enter into a 3-game play-off and then climax in a seven-game series be tween the two high clubs. Hie pitching power in Edenton, supplementing Jordan, who twirled to glory Sunday afternoon, is made up of K. Wright and Buster Wozelka. Both will probably have an opportun ity to show their wares in the two scheduled games over the week-end, according to Manager Cayton. Other * members of the local club feature as catcher, Wilbur Wheeler; Tom Am brose holds down the initial sack, and Buck Wheeler is stationed second base; Little Bud Cayton has the hot corner, and E. Ambrose is at short stop. Patroling the outfield are Harry Lassiter, at left; Clyde Cates (captain) at center; end Mac Spruill in rigAt field. Edenton is the only club on the north side of the Sound in a berth on the Albemarle program. The other clubs placed in the league are Perry town, Plymouth, Oak City, (Martin County) and Scotland Neck. | OAK GROVE *\ —* ♦ Miss Ruth Parrish was the dinner guest of Miss Jessie Nixon Thursday.
