CAPE FEAR LOOP
PICKUPS
BY r. J. POWELL

'
The Cape Fear baseball associa-
TONS second-half fight goes into
the third round of play tomorrow
afternoon with the following sched-
ule:
Leland VS. S. A. c. at Robert
Strange, Jackson and Curley UNI
piring.
R. c. VS. Masonboro at Mason
boro, Bass and Watson calling.
Hi-Kappas VS. Purol at Stadium,
Griffith and Peal, arbiters.
Pepsi Cola VS. Jackson Bell at
Hilton, Casteen and Grotgen.
A review of last weeks proceed
ings adds considerable weight to
the assertion that Leland and the
res will be the clubs occupying
the choice inside track during the
rest of the Cape Fear pennant
race. Both the current leaders won
with comparative east last week,
the Crownmen o~utslugging the
Headon Pinerless Purol boys ire
member our statement last week.
and the Bears hopping up the
Jackson Bell Printers behind the
Jim Bullock's alright elbowing.
These victories for the leaders take
on added Importance in view OF
the fact that one week previously
the Bluebirds with Piner) capped
re Pepsi Colas and the JB's
showed much promise by edging
out the slumping Kappas. AS
for the rest of the teams, the
situation remains status-quo.
Last Sundays Heroes
Linwood Rowan, RC's-Pro1ong'
ed his consecutive batting streak
by tallying five times out of siz
attempts.
Fletcher Piner, A's-His five hit
flinging helped hand the Hi-Kappas
their fourth straight setback.
Red Miller, Predetermined his
assault on opposing pitchers by
getting three for four against the
res. ..
Jim Bullock, Leland-Hurled his
club to win over JB's.
The Cape Fearers have started
negotiations for an Al-Star en-
gagement with Bert Kites Pirates
Wednesday night. The Bears
and the Crownmen are planning a
nocturnal battle on the night Of
August 9th, which will probably
be counted as a regularly schedul-
ed contest. The title Of the
most unlucky arbiter must be
awarded Speed Jeffords, recent
addition to the umpire brigade,
who has been beaned no less than
three times during his short term
as a Jump. Last weeks injuries
prompted the young arbiter to hang
up his indicator for keeps. Fred
Curley has been added to the staff
in his place seeking a
reason for the Hi = Kappas' con-
tinue d poor showing, we would say
that baseball's old DOGGY man

lads reversal of form. 49,. It's
only a suggestion. But several
of the Kappa baseball mainstays
are stars on the little diamond
sport also. Compare your
