BUOOANEEBS DEFEAT
BROWN B0MBBB8 IN
PBAOTIOE OAME
In a twilight game, the Bncc’s
got off to a good start by de
feating the Brown Bombers in a
pre-season game last Monday
afternoon at Hillside plKv-
grounds before 1,700 fans.
The ppopppulpar Bucc’s who
have won more softball chaui-
• ionshipsp than any other t.-am
iin the league and who are the
5Jew York Yankees of Durham,
got off to a good start Monday
by pounding out a 9 to 1 victory
oyer their arch rivals. “Baby”
j^Hen brother of the famous
(Marvin, Edward and “Red”
Allen allowed only one hit
while his team collected twel/e
hits off Smilli. The defeatosl
ri?a1s scored only one run and
that a homer by Rell SutHh,
catcher for the Bombers.
The two teams will open 4he
1943 season Tuesday night under
the light af Ihe playground be
fore what is expected to be th«
largest crowd ever to turn out
for Negro baseball or softball in
this city. The mightly BucC*'? ^re

championship, but they will have
to fight all the way and pro
