Lions Win First Two
Games From Firemen
Take Monday and Tuesday
Tilts by Scores of
7-6 and 7-5
The Lions Club got away to a com
manding lead over the firemen in the
■'tattle World Serious" by winning the
first two games this week. Monday
afternoon, the two teams played on
fairly even terms, with the Lions nos
ing out, 7 to 6. Tuesday afternoon s
game was a little more one-sided
than the 7-5 score indicates, as the
firemen seriously threatened only one
time. That was when P.D." Allen's
one-handed stab of Eddie Getsinger's
line drive to center with the bases
drunk averted Lion disaster by a very
skimpy margin indeed.
Monday's game was an errorless af
fair, and the hits were evenly divid
ed. 9-9. Durand Keel racked up his
fifth straight win as hurler for the
Lions, and on Tuesday makcle it six
in a row by winning again. In the
Tuesday game, the firemen were out
hit. 4 to 11. according to the score
card. Two more games are carded
this week, one Wednesday afternoon
and the other Thursday, with the fin
al three games to be played Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week, according to present plans.
Nyal Womble was the leading hit
ter Monday, getting three for three.
Horner and Hall got two apiece for
the Lions, while Leggett and Styons
did likewise for the firemen. Chapin
counted the winning run in the sixth
by poling out a three-bagger and reg
istering on Keel's single.
Keel led the hitting Tuesday, with
a perfect day, getting three for three
times at bat. Horner and Brown
collected two each, while no fireman
got more than one. Incidentally,
one of "Chief" Brown's hits should

after reaching second base. He went
to third on a passed baii. and it then
took two more hits to get him from

a three-bagger that would have
cleared the bases and put the fire
men out in front.
Yesterday's game was played too

will be published next week. Unless
the firemen show’ a reversal of form,
it looks like curtains for them early

ries is concerned, although the games
will continue for seven full games,

There has been a fairly good-sized
crowd on hand for each of the first
two games of the series. No admis

vited to attend.

Only 19 Entries So
Far in Golf Tourney
ard Thorpe and just as superb pro
duction by Joseph Pasternak.
Here are Van Johnson. June Al
lyson and Gloria De Haven, fast on
their way to stardom, as the sailor
and the two girls he mysteriously be
friends by setting up an entire serv
icemen's canteen for them and, what
is more, falling in love first with one
and then with the other.
The picture brings Jimmy Durante
back to the screen, and that is great
news indeed! Jimmy, the "Schnozz”
himself, is in rare form as he por
trays a retired, exvaudevillian who
has lost confidence in himself and
fears to attempt a comeback. Jimmy,
who's "never been away," as the
saying goes, really puts on a show,
including his celebrated Tnka Dinka
Doo."
Then there are Lena Horne, one of
the top singers of the day: Grade
Allen, whose One Finger Piano Con
certo will bring howls of delight: Vir
ginia O'Brien, the dead-pan singer:
Jose Iturbi. who plays a mean piano,
and Harry James and Xavier Cugat
and their orchestras—'nuff said!
You’ll love the songs, including "In
a Moment of Madness,” "Sweet and
Lovely," "Granada.” "Take It Easy,”
“Young Man With a Horn" and "A
Love Like Ours.” among many others.
Special mention must be made of
the beautiful dream sequence in
which Van Johnson is seen as an ad
miral and Jimmy Durante in various
guises befitting his versality and rare
talents.
"Two Girls and a Soilor" is rec
ommended for everyone, big and lit
tle, young and old. It is entertain
ment with a capital "E" from start
to finish. Put “Two Girls and a
Sailor" on your "must” list.
Careful—Don’t Try This!
Don’t give away, sell or destroy that
coal or wood burning equipment you
have just in order to get a fuel oil
ration, because OPA has authorized
local rationing boards to withhold
the ration under such circumstances.
Players Have Through Sep
tember 10 To Play
Qualitying Rounds
Jimmy Kinnear, pro at the Coun
try Club of Plymouth, said yesterday
he was somewhat disappointed at the
slow' start of the annual champion
ship tournament. Up to that time,
there w'ere only 20 entries, while it
was hoped that at least sufficient en
tries would be received to round out
four full flights of eight each.
The response by local golfers has
been particularly disappointing. Up
to yesterday, there were only 19 en
tries. and 10 of them were from out
of town. Entrants have two more
week-ends, through September 10, to
play the 27-hole qualifying round,
and it is hope more Plymouth golfers
will enter by then. It is not neces
sary to play the entire 27 holes in
one day. under the rules, but they
may be played at the players' conven
ience any time before September 11.
Of the 19 entered, up to yesterday,
sven had completed qualifying play,
and 10 others had turned in scores
for 18 holes. Jimmy Johnston, of
Washington, turned in the lowest
score so far. 122. and C. G. Crockett,
of Williamston. is second with 128.
Following are the list of qualifiers
and scores: Ray H. Goodmon, de
fending champion, not required to
qualify: C. G. Crockett, 128; J. R.
Manning, 133; Jimmy Johnston, 122;
Fred Potts, 140; Bill Woolard, 136;
J. C. Swain, 151; and Wheeler Mar
tin, 145.
Those who have entered and played
18 holes to date, with their scores,
are as follows: Clyde Hardison, 93;

Local Outfit Defeated Oak
leaf Giants, 6 to 5,
Last Sunday
The Plymouth All-Stars defeated
the Oakleaf Giants, of Oakleaf Park,
Va.. here last Sunday in one of the
closest and most exciting games of
he season, the score being 6 to 5 in
favor of the home team.
Trailing, the All-Stars came into
the last of the seventh inning on the
wrong end of a 5 to 0 score. The
local aggregation managed to put over
two runs in that frame and added
four more in the eighth to win the
''amp. The visitors threatened in the
ninth, when the first man up hit
wifely. but the next three went out
in order to make the big crowd of
home fans happy.
The All-Stars were scheduled to
play the . trong Camp Eutner out
lit Sunday, but at the last minute
notice was received that the Army
team would not be able to get here.
In order not to disappoint the large
crowd expected, the management of
the All-Stars got bu^' and secured
the Oakleaf team as a substitute.
Games will be played at the Pulp
Mill Ball Park here Sunday and Mon
day with the Suffolk Aces, another
strong aggregation. Both the Sun
day and Labor Day games will start
at 4 p. m. The public is urged to
attend both games.
