Southport Back On Top
Of Cape Fear Standings
The Southport Sails regained
the Cape Fear League lead Sun
day afternoon with a big 11 to 8
win over Ogden while Leiand was
dropping a close 4 to 2 decision
to Ransome Township.
It was a team-effort all the
way with Jerry Spencer and Bob
by McKeithan driving in four
runs apiece, Paul Cochi'an bat
ting two more and Jerry Wayne
Spencer providing the power for
the final Sails tally. Foxy How
ard came through with two dou
bles to put himself in scoring
position twice and Gene Russ
kept good control of the situation
to gain his second win of the sea
son.
The Sails jumped off to a three
run lead in the first inning and
were never behind in the game.
Howard led off with a double into
left field and scored on another
double by Jerry Spencer, who
went to third as the throw from
the outfield came to the plate.
Cochran lined a single over the
second baseman's head to score
Spencer.
Southport added another pair of
runs in the third when J. Spencer
got on by an ’error and went to
2nd as Cochran lined out his
second hit of the afternoon. Both
runners moved up a base when
the rightfielder momentarily bob
bled Cochran’s hit. McKeithan
brought both runners in with a
single into centerfield. Ogden
came back with a single run in
the bottom of the third w’hen Bill
Henegar blasted a triple over
the head of the Sails rightfielder
and then came in on a single by
Morrie Thompson.
In the fourth inning Russ led
off with a single and went to
third on Howard’s second double. '
Both runners scored on J. Spen
cer’s single into center. Cochran
brought Spencer in on a long
double and then scored himself
after a single by John Carr Davis
put him in position to come across
the plate on a sacrifice fly by
McKeithan. Ogden got back in the
game with a brace of runs in
their half of the fourth when
Ivan James borrowed Tebo Rog
ers big 42 inch bat and smashed
out a grounder that moved the
Sails second sacker back a good
four feet when he tried to field
the ball. James scored on suc
cessive fielders choices and Clif
ford Burroughs crossed the plate
on Henegar's single.
The Sails 10th run came in the
fifth inning when Jerry Wayne
Spencer drew a base on balls,
moved to second on a single by
Russ, on to third as a walk to
Howard loaded up the bases and
then scored on an infield out.
Ogden also enjoyed a big fifth
inning as they scored three runs
on singles by Aaron Thompson,
Ellis Casteen, and Bill Schmitt
and a double by James, to bring
them within four runs of the high
flying Sails.
Ogden narrowed the gap even
more in the eighth as Gil Regier
drew the first walk given up by
Russ and came in on Henegar’s
second triple. Henegar scored a

Old Time Sails
Still Have Life
Saturday night, with only six
hours between the planning stage
and the start of the ball game,
the Sails of yesteryear took on
the 1962 Sails in a game that
saw 23 runners cross the plate—
21 of them by this year’s Sails.
The few fans that learned of the
game in time enjoyed seeing such
oldtime Sails as Lawrence Will
ing playing his old position at
first base, Leo Dowling at short
stop, Shorty Hufham in leftfield,
Billy Newton behind the plate
and Eddie and Hugh Spencer on
the mound. Dwight McEwen look
ed a lot younger than his some
odd years as the held down the
hot corner and fiercely defended
his section of the basepaths from
any opposing runner. On one play
he blocked out Roy Arntsen, and
then got up off the ground and
tagged Arntsen with the ball just
a second too late.
McEwen also starred at the
plate for the Oldtimers when he
got the first hit off starting
pitcher Arntsen in the second in
ning. George Parker and Sgt.
Argyle Martin, coaches of the
Southport Little League team,
were also on the Oldtimers ros
ter, playing at second base and
in rightfield respectively. The Old
timers also drew help from Doug
Watts, Ronnie Hood and Wayne
Ludlum.
The ’62 Sails went outside of
their regular roster to call on j
Roy Arntsen and Foxy Howard I
(Senior) for mound duty, and Rip
Howard for a little relief at first
base. Gene Fullwood and Manager
Preston Bryant shared the left
field duties for the ’62 Sails.
