.DINK LARKINS HITS
HOMER in EIGHTH
Carter Bats 1000, Steals Base
And Scores One Run In
9 To l Victory

Wilmington's Pirates, behind the
three-hit pitching of Norwood Skip
per, whipped the Dillon, S. c., nine
to the tune of 81 last night at Le-
gion field.
After a s%coreless, hitless first inn
ling, the Pirates took a two run lead
in the first, added another in the
fifth. three in the sixth and three
more in the eighth to win without
ever being in danger.
Dink Larkins was the hardest hit
ter of the night, hitting a neat hon.
er in the ninth with Carter and
iSmidt on the paths.
With the exception of an error on
Smidt and a doubtful error on Moore
in the first inning, the Pirates play
ed errorless ball to give Skipper
clean support.
Little Man Amos Carter looked
like his old self last night, with a
hit and a run for his only official
time at bat. Twice he sacrificed and
once he was walked but on the &C.
casion of his walk was rubbed at
second in the only double play of
the game. He was also credited with
IA stolen base, to make his record
even more like those he racked up
last season.
The Dillon nine put together a
hit, a walk and two fielder's choices
in the ninth for their only score of
the game.
Wednesday night Of next week, it
was announced last night, will again
be Ladies' Night. The Pirates OPP
ponent was not named but it is
understood efforts are being made
to bring the Kinston nine here for
a game.

Olsen, rookie -southpaw, set the Bos-

to give the Chicago Cubs a 2 to 0
victory before a ladies' day crowd
of 10000.
Olsen's sinker ball baffled the in

bases on balls kept Boston in the
game. The yearling pitcher, how
ever, was effective in the pinches,
leaving u Gunner stranded OF the
bases. He also struck out seven bat

WARD Wins OVER
GOODMAN IN MEET
National Amateur Champion
Overcomes Handicaps To Ad-
vance In Western Tourney

MINNEAPOLIS, July 12.-R-
Bud Ward of Spokane today prov
ed he was of the stuff champions
are made of when neither a pine
tree, a bush nor such a golfing
figure as Johnny Goodman of Oma-
ha could keep him from entering
the semi-finals of the And Annual
Western Amateur tournament a t
the Minneapolis golf club.
The national amateur champion
spilled Goodman, former holder of
both he nations amateur and open
crowns, one up after the pine tree
cost him a hole at a crucial mo-
ment and was partly responsible
for loss of another, while the bush
nearly permitted his opponent to
pull up to even terms Taste in the
match.
That was but one of 3 spectac-
ular quarter-final matches with
Jim Terrier of Sydney, Australia,
nosing out MILFORD Wehrle of Chic
ago in a dramatic finish 2 up and
George Victor of Chicago defeating
Earl Larson, Minneapolis, l
up. The fourth match found Harry
Todd of Dallas, defending cham
pion, crushing Bill Kostelecky of
Fargo, N. D. 6 and 4.
Terrier, both open and amateur
champion in his country, complet-
ed his fifth straight 10 hole round
under regulation figures when he
turned in a medal 70, two under
par in defeating his Chicago op-
ponent. AS an added flourish he
finished with a birdie three. Wehrle
also had a chance for a birdie on
the final hole but missed a five
foot putt.
Victor, who defeated one of the
big favorites, Art Doering of Chic
ago, in the third round 5 and 4,
scored a medal II to outlast Larson
and will be Terriers opponent in
a SO hole semi-finals match Sat-
urday. Terrier won from Elmer
Freed of Cleveland, Ohio, 6 and
4, in the third round.
Ward gets another stiff test in
the other semi-finals match Satur-
day when he meets the tourna-
ment's defending champion, Todd.
Todd defeated Larry Moller
of Quincy, ILL.,, who he also met
and vanquished in the tournament
finals a year ago, 3 and 2 in the
third round, and Kostelecky in the
quarter-finals. In the mornings
