Double - Loss—
Sails Drop Two
And Lose Lead
Joy KJX1 HOWARD
The Southport Sails lost both
ends of a twin-bill to Ogden at
Taylor Field Sunday afternoon,
the first game being a shut-out
and the twi-light affair a no-hit
ter. The ironic thing about the
whole affair was that the Sails
did not play a losing brand of
baseball in either game, and
Ogden did not really give a win
ning performance.
In the first game the Sails out
hit Ogden 6 to 5, and left 7 run
ners stranded in dropping a 2-0
decision. The Sails also sparkled
in the field, turning in a nifty
double play that saw the ball go
around the horn with major lea
gue precision and skill as Red
Best scooped up a hot grounder
off of the bat of Elbert Coston
in the second inning, flipped the
ball to Chris Holland at second in
I time to force out Jim Edens who
had singled earlier. Holland avoid
ed the sliding Edens and fired
from mid-air to Bobby Spencer to
cut down Coston at first base.
Ogden scored their first run in
the fifth inning as Bill Henegar
led off by flying out to Dick
Brendle in rightfield. Jesse Lea,
the Ogden second-sacker, lined a
single into centerfield but was cut
down a moment later as Aaron
Thompson hit into a fielder’s
choice that forced Lea at second.
John Coston smashed a double
into centerfield that scored
Thompson all the way from first
and allowed Coston to go to third
on the throw-in to the plate. Jim
Coston. the visiting left-fielder,
ended the mild uprising by pop
ping out to Best in deep short.
The other Ogden run came in
the sixth on Edens -ninth homer

of the year with the bases empty.
Edens smash landed a few feet
from the bushes in right-center
field and went into the weeds on
the first bounce. It was a long
solid blow and deserved to be a
homer in any ball park.
In the seventh inning Gene Russ
layed the wood on one of Edens'
deliveries and sent the ball sail
ing toward the same spot. Bren
dle, who had led off the inning
with a single over second base,
headed for home only to see the
Ogden rightfielder, who was play
ing out of position, leap into the
air at the edge of the bushes and
snag the ball in the webbing of
his glove. Russ’ drive would have
carried a good twenty feet farther
than Edens’ homer, but was only
a long out. This was the key play
of the game, and the one that
gave Ogden its opening victory.
In the second game, also a
seven-inning affair, Ogden scored
single runs in the first and fifth
innings, and two runs in both
the third and fourth innings to
win 6-1 behind the no-hit pitch
ing of Lefty Tom Smith, who
fanned ten Sails and walked eight
in pitching the only no-hitter of
the Cape Fear League season.
l'he Sails scored their only run
in the fifth when Doug Watts led
off with a walk, went to second
on a passed ball, stole third, and
came in on an error when the
Ogden second baseman couldn’t
find the handle on a ball off of
the bat of Bobby Spencer.
Bob McKeithan took the loss in
the opener as he struck out five
and walked only one to out-pitch
Edens, who fanned four and walk
ed two. Russ was the loser in the
second game, going three and one
third innings while whiffing three
and walking one. Bob Schopp

Southport Boys
On All-Star Nine
By FOXY HOWARD
The Optimist Good Neighbor
League announced their All-Star
Team last week, with five players
of the sixteen man roster coming
from the Southport team. George
Parker, Southport coach, was also
chosen along with Dave Rogers,
to coach the Good Neighbor All
Stars as they attempt to win the
Wilmington Optimist League
Championship.
The Good Neighbor All-Stars
were scheduled to play their first
game Tuesday night against the
North League All-Stars but the
game was washed out by a sud
den thunderstorm.
The Southport All-Stars, who
were selected by the eqaches on
the basis of good-sportsmanship
as well as their ability in the field
and at bat, are Stephen Parker
(pitcher-first base), Chip Graham
(third base-outfield), Ronald
Clark (pitcher-third base), Gary
Clark (catcher-second base), and
Jim Manis (second base).
out to pitch the rest of the game,
fanning two without giving up a
base on balls. Watts sparkled de
fensively as he threw out four
men attempting to steal - second.
The double loss dropped the
Sails into a second place tie with
Ogden as South Wilmington took
both ends of a double-header from
Shallotte to capture the regular
season championship. A flip of the
coin gave Southport the runner
up spot and dropped Ogden into
third place for the play-offs which
begin Sunday.
Ogden will meet South Wil
mington at Shipyard Stadium and
the Sails will battle Seagate, the
fourth-place team, at Taylor Field
in Southport. The winners of
these two games will meet in a
best two out of three series for
the play-off championship on a
home-and-home basis, with the
home field of the third game, if
needed, to be decided by the flip
of a coin.

The fact that five of the nine
starters on the Southport team
were selected on the all-star squad
and compose almost one-third of
that outfit, indicates that the Lit
tle Leaguers have received some
top-notch coaching in Southport,
and that presumption is borne out
by the fact that their coach was
also selected to coach the all-star
team.
Southport has always enjoyed
better than average baseball
teams and each year has produced
one or two outstanding players,
but several years from now when
this team reaches the high school
and town team age-group the
coaching that they have received
will pay off to the tune of more
frequent championships for South
port.
A lot of credit goes to Coach
Parker and his assistants, Tebo
Rogers and Sgt. Argyle Martin,
but a lot of credit should also
go to the fans who have turned
out in good number to cheer the
little fellows along when the go
ing got rough, and to console
them after a losing effort.
The fans will get another
chance to see the Southport team
in action this week when they
play the Leland team in a night
game at Taylor Field the night
after the all-stars finish their
play-offs in Wilmington. The five
Southport all-stars will be on the
starting nine, but Coach Parker
has announced that all members
of the squad will see action and
get a chance to display their
prowess on the field and at bat
for the hometown fans.
