Now, however, although current ly riding a three game losing streak as of Tuesday morning, the Sox 1 have a revamped infield, and the club kas started clouting that horse hide again. So from here in.

Up until Saturday night last, tie Sox had 'Won eight of their last ten games, taking two in a row from Red Springs, Clinton and Sanford and splitting two each with unn Erwin and Lumberton. Then Hampton Conn, Warsaw's candidate for the leading hard luck pitcher of the league, and Lefty Louis Chesing, locked horns in a mound duel Saturday night at Wilmington and Conn came off -second best although holding the Bucs to five safe blows- That was the second five hitter Conn - had hurled and lost - in a week. The Sox' sole score came in the fifth when Elmer Bohannon poled a towering homerunner over the left field wall. The second game of the twin bill was a.10-10 slugfest, and was called because of a league rule that no inning will be started after 11:50 P. M. Then the Pirates took Sun day afternoon's game at Warsaw behind Lamb's two hit pitching while Byrd was scattering eight Buc safeties. ' To complete the three game los ing streak, mixed in with one tie game, the Sox dropped another one 7-3 to the D jnn-Erwin Twins Mon day night t Warsaw.
