On Thursday night the Cee Cees will play Forest City there The two teams will play again ir Shelby Saturday afternoon and will return to Forest City Saturday nlghl for the second contest in one day Pop Simmons’ outfit is two up or the locals, but both contests were won before the Cee-Cee outfit wa.‘ lined up as it is now. Hopeful oi taking at least two of the three contests this week the Cee-Cees were today attempting to secure two new players, a pitcher and in fielder. One new player, Cline Ower Leo, has already been signed. Ef forts are bring made to secure Fish er, a South Carolina flash, for shortstop. But major attention .is centering this week on picking up a new hurler to work In Saturday’s game against Forest City here. So far much of the pitching burden has been on Clint. Fisher and the Cee-Cecs believe that by Saturday they will have another good mound artist in camp to aid Fisher. With the signing of Lee for tlv remainder of the season the Cee Cecs can already assure fans a fast infield for Saturday's game here. Lee on short and "Cricket" Weath ers on second will form one of the niftiest keystone combinations to be found outside pro baseball and both boys can pound the pellet. Hall on third and "Milky” Gold on first will round out a steady infield. Not since 1923 and 1924 has base ball Interest been as high here and the officials of the cloth mill club say that by the end of the week Urey hope to have a team In the field which will give any semi-pro outfit In the two Carolinas plenty of action. The city park grandstand has been covered and the games being play by the Cee Cees and All-Stars are already drawing large crowds with indications that crowds will become even larger as the season progresses.

Chapel Hill, June 7.—The class o 1933—with considerable help fron Coach Bunn Hearn of the boys o 1909—put over a run in the seventl and final inning to edge a 4-3 vie tory over the class of 1922 in a base ball game featuring Monday's pro gram of commencement doings a Carolina. The 1922 array—which wpn th< South Atlantic title—was not In tact, and several of those perform ing weren't in the positions ai which they won fame 11 seasons ago Thera weren’t enough of the 192: crew on hand to fill out the tean and they drafted Norman Shcparc and Jack Merritt of other Tar Hee teams and Bill Cerney, member o Carolina's grid coaching staff ant Notre Dame product. Casey Polls One. The old-timers were three runs ii front at one stage of things.

I reminded many among the l.CKH fans of the way Casey used to hi ’em back in 1922. In the closing ganv of that season—against. Trinity now Duke—Morris hit a homer ove the left fence for what is regardec here as the longest drive on Emer son Field. Since that time, however the fence has been moved back 5' feet and Casey’s blow today wa. virtually as far as that which bea Duke in 1922. Dir-ty Dig <T. B.

The Mooresboro Boys Dislike Um pire's Decision And May Appeal Case. (Special to The Star.) Mooresboro, June 6.—It took about a dozen Cliffslde boys and a darn good ump to defeat the Mooresboro Wildcats here Saturday. Moreover, with the ever present energy of the players and the frequent spurt of enthusiasm shown by the umpire the game finally ended with the visitors oh the heavier ends of a 10-9 score. Yet. the game wasn’t what you might call a one-sided affair as the closeness of the final score will In dicate. No, 'twas close from the be ginning of the hurly-burly, error bedecked encounter, which can not rightly be called a baseball game, as it was a “We’re going to have it" skirmish of round-town, until the end. Manager Wall To Appeal It is stated that Manager Wall of the Cats will appeal to the presi dent of his league In regard to not counting the game Saturday, due to the decision of one visiting umpire, whose name might have been Jollev for all we know. There is one thing which we do know, however, ant', that, is that old horsehide was ’bout five feet outside the foul strip and still going foul at the rate of nine ty per when we saw it last. Hendricks, whiffed eight men for his pals, while the Cliffslde triplet did it unto three wild-meows. And the "Strange As It May Seem” of the fray was a score on a strike-out. Answer: the ball struck the plate, and the batter missed it. and the | catcher missed it. and the man went to first, ami was scored on I another error. Official rules say | the first error was on the pitcher, 1 who got a strike-out, an error and I a score added to his record. j Lawndale Defeats j Avondale, 15 To 13 | Team Being Strengthened With College Stars.
