and stands six feet He is we'll known
around Wilmington. for last season he
threw them over the rubber for the
Elk Mills club. of the Del-Mar League
However. Hoff didn't finish the season
with Elk Mills. He jumped to the
Blue Ridge League of Virginia and
made a record for himself by winning
% out OF q stars. Hof looks like a
big Lacquer in action and has a freak
hop on his fast ball. His best day
, last season was on August rs, when
he let the Hagerstown (Md.) club
down without the semblance Of a hit
or run.
lHoffecker says he's in the best OF
shape and will be ready to pitch the
opening game OF Saturdays double
header against Eden. There is a pos
sibility that the double bill will he
played at the Front and Union

jack shape and are confident of VIC
tory. All the reglars will be in har-
ness on Saturday Bob" Jamison will
