Fortunate Fights
Local Boxer
July II

The headlined feature of the
fights scheduled for TeXaco Beach
on July ii will be an all-Cham-
pion affair. Billed in the feature
fight of the night is Howard Het-
trick, Elizabeth City's gift to the
squared circle and pride Of the
Old North State in the lightweight
division. Joe Fortunate has been
signed to face the hometown boy.
Fortunate rates the number one
spot in the Boston section where
he first started his pUgili1tic ac-
tivities.
Hettrick or Duke" as he is
better known, is the 1887 A.A.U.
champion of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Virginia, haV-
ing won this title in the annual
tri-state tourney at Raleigh in the
early spring. He defeated Glenn
Pennland, State college fighter, in
the finals to earn the title. Sew
eral college coaches were high in
their praise for the local young
ster in this fight. Later in the
spring Hettrick won the light
weight title in the golden glove
tourney.
Joe Fortunate halls from Bos-
ton where he started his career as
an amateur. He holds the golden
glove title in the Boston tourney
as we'll as the Panama Canal Zone
lightweight title. He has been
fighting on Tony Barbaria'S cards
down at Ocean View for the past
few weeks and has suffered only
two defeats. One of these loses
was to Lew Bass, crack Virginia
lightweight champ from Cradock
who is undefeated at this writing.
Bacs also holds a close decision
over Hettrick. The critics at Ocean
View say that Fortunate is a
handful of in any ring and a
creditable opponent for any fighter.

I'm playing this game strictly

Horace Hooper, Stumpy Point

For five innings the game was
nip and tuck, with neither team
scoring and each pitcher allowing
only one hit. However, from then

With the help of their own hitting
and numerous miScueS by their

AGO Beach with the Norfolk Po-

Bernice Forbes, crack outtleld-

to secure two base knocks. These
two hit3 gave him the lead at the
bat for the home team. Berry,
Police third-sacker, batted out
three hits out of five trips to the

scoring fling to add an additional
three counters. TeXaco held them
until the eighth but in that inning
the visitors slipped in another

Texaco scored her runs in the

Dixon, Scaboard ace, who pitch

weeks ago worked on the mound

fective as in his previus start

Last Hard Drill TODAY
For South Hill Game
Miller Picks First String it'll Exception of Right End
ro"1 Th'saas' 1 p esterday; Signal Drill

The last stiff workout for Hender-
son high school Bulldogs before the
prize off of the 1887 grid lid here
against South Hill, Va, Friday at
League Park at $3.50 o'clock, was on
tap this afternoon, and plenty of hard
work was to be dished out by Coach
Bing Miller.
The first string has been picked
with the exception of right end. Will
liam Gambler, who has been having
scholastic difficulties, was picked for
that post, but will not likely be able
to play Friday. The post is wide open
and it seems that Kenneth Johnson
has a slight edge for that job. He is
enewcomer that needs plenty of work,
but he may be able to handle the du-
ties.
Fundamentals were stressed yester-
day, and the drill ended up with a
scrimmage session. The first string
ers found little opposition against the
reserves, and ran through them al
most at will. Johnnie Davis and Ted
Wells, reserve halfbacks, showed up
best for the second stringers. Chick
Stewart looked coed at end. These
boys are light, but they have the stuff
that makes football players.
A night session on plays is sche-
duled for tonight, and 9 signal drill
tomorrow, according to the mentor,
who must polish up his plays before
the seasons opener.
