Bad Inning Gives
Firemen Win Here
« l«th Min t lun Loses contest In
Sixth. Weathers Star Of
Game.
With the city park packed for
the contest the Charlotte Firemen
I evened the count with the Cleve
land Cloth mill baseball club here
Saturday, winning 7 to 1.
For five innings it was a ball
I game that kept fans on an edge as
. Clint Fisher and the veteran Andy
■ Ferguson staged a gruelling pitch -
I ing battle. For five frames the fire
i laddies could find Fisher for but
; two hits and could not score. But
: in the sixth the Cee-Cees crumbled
i momentarily and the Firemen put
■ on a batting spree to take every ad
I vantage of the break. In that frame
i five runs were scored.
Oathlt Victors
1 As it was the losers outhit the
I victors, but the Firemen hit "in
. the cluch” and that’s Just what the
, Cee-Ces could not do. The locals
! had the bases drunk three times
i and failed to score.
’ In addition to the heavy hitting
’ of the Firemen, the game scin
. tillated with brilliant fielding bv
> members of both clubs. In fact, the
; all-around play gave all fans a bar
; gain day. "Cricket” Weathers, play
- ing shortstop in the absence of Lee.
was the outstanding individual per
former of the day. He laced out
three hits, one a triple, and would
have had another triple except for
. a seansational catch by Black. But
; it was afield that, the Carolina star
I ran wild. He played both infield
• and outfield, ran all over the park
to spear line driver and was on the
- two-way working end of two fast
double plays.
Big Joe Westnedge and Maulin'
Mack Mundy furnished the fire
works for the Firemen. Both secur
t ed two hits and one of Mundy s bin
1 gle was the ferocious three-bagger
i which drove in three runs in the
» fatal sixth. In addition to his hit
3 ting Westnedge ran up on the bank
s in left center to rob a Shelby hit
3 ter of a certain triple by a great
- one-hand catch. Black, laddie left -
i fielder, speared two drives which
- also were labeled for extra bases.
Fisher had the best of Ferguson
for five frames, but, the wily Andy
was mixing them up and time and
time again he stalled for time.
- switched balls and dilly-dallied
i about to keep the Cee-Cees hitters
worried and to give his aging fling
f ing arm a chance to rest up for
a needed fast. ones. Fisher, pitching
r with a blistered finger, really had
y every break against him.
p In the sixth “Little" Bumgard
- ner. who had been playing brilliant
ly in centerfleld, dropped a fly ball
i to give the Firemen a start. Then
- matters were made worse when the
e umpire walked a hitter the stands
seemed to think should have gone
down on strikes. That filled the
bases and then Mundy socked out
his wicked three-ply blow. And that
" was a ball game. Despite continued
1 hits by Hall, who hit well, and by
r Weathers the Cee-Cees could not
1 get another man around the paths.
1 Johnny Dobbs, jr., business man
1 ager of the Charlotte Hornets, wit*
1 nessed the game and was said to
‘ have been very much Impressed by
the play of Weathers and Hicks
‘ the Carolina and Wake Forest s*srs.

Cee-Cee Infield
“Best In State,”
Visitor Thinks
The Cleveland Cloth mill
infield is the best infield out
of professional baseball in
North Carolina. That's thi
opinion of Pinkie James, first
packer for the stronf Hickory
team and former athletic stai
at Duke university. The Shel
by infield about which Jame
was talking was made up oi
Gold, lb; Weathers, 2b; Lee
short; and Hall, third.
But this week the Cee-Crf ,
management plans to make
that same infield stronger foi
stiff games ahead. Lee will be .
back this week but may br
shifted to third to permit
Fisher, South Carolina star, to
play short. The new infield
will then run as follows: Gold
first; Weathers, second; Fish
er, short, and Lee, third. Hall
if the shift fs made, will be
moved to outfield.
Cee-Cees Rally
To Win Contest
Here On Friday
Cloth Mill Team Scores Three Runs
In Two Frames To Beat
Hickory
The Cleveland Cloth mill club
staged an uphill fight, climaxed by
rallies in the eighth and ninth, to
defeat the strong Hickory indepen
dent baseball club in the Shelby
park Friday 4 to 3.
At the end of the first half of the
eighth frame Hickory was leading
3 to 1. and a game that had been
filled with exciting play seemed in
the bag for the vis tors. Up to that
time Bailey, the sc. ew-ball south
paw on the mound for Hickory had
been almost invincible and the usu
ally powerful Cee-Cee hitters had
been finding it hard to hit one out
of the infield.
But in the eighth things began to
happen. “Curly” Smith, Shelby
twirler, walked. Bumgardner flew
out. Hornsby got on by a fielder's
choice. Then the bats began to click.
“Red* Costner, who lias been in a
hitting slump, singled by third.
“Cricket" Weathers came through
with another single, and then Cline
Owens Lee .playing short instead
Earp, the Wake Forest collegian,
crashed a screaming hit over second
to drive in the tying run. In the
ninth Johnny Hicks, the pepper-box
catcher, started off with a single,
“Milky" Gold drug down a perfect
bunt to sacrifice Hicks to second.
Smith grounded out and then the
Shelby Bumgardner rapped out a
fJean single to send Hicks across
the plate with the tying run.
Brilliant Fielding.
Both c%ibs displayed some bril
liant. fielding, the Hickory team,
made up for the most part of col
lege stars, being one of the best bal
anced clubs seen here this year.
Sam Bell, the Duke star on short,
and Pinkie James, another Duke
star on first, turned in scintillating
stops and catches. For the Shelby
club ihf fielding of Lee. Hall and
Bumgardner featured. Hovis, Hick
ory left fielder, crashed out a brace
of doubles to pace hie team, while
• Curly" Smith was the big batting
noise for Shelby with a single and
double.
Smith, pitching his first game in
some time, was a bit wild but struck
out si* Hickory hitters.
