FRESHMAN HURLER
ALLOWS SIX HITS
Extra Base Hits Feature Pr

With Johnnie Hicks hurting six

guns of the Wilmington Pirates, the
Atlantic Christian college baseball
team defeated the Buccaneers 6 to .
at Legion field last night in the To-
calls opening game of the season.
The Bulldogs freshman hurler
never gave up over one hit an in
ming but a slight touch of wildness
in the last three stanzas enabled the
BUGS to tally four Of their runs on
three hits, one a long home run by
First Baseman Cooney Sellers.
With two men on base and two
out in the ninth, Hicks was relieved
by Moye, who forced S. McKeithan
to pop up and thereby end a spirited
rally by the Pirates.
Extra base hits seemed to be the
rule rather than the exception in the
game. In addition to Sellers circuit
clout, Treadway, the Bulldogs short.

the second frame for the visitors
first marker.
Sellers, H.. McKeithan, Stefano and
Gardner connected for three.baggers
and Houston and Carter banged out
doubles.
Jack Shoaf started on the mound
for the Pirates, giving up six hits in
four and two-third innings and al
lowing the visitors all six scores.
After a disastrous fifth inning when
all nine men batted around using
three walks, an error, a sacrifice hit
and two safeties to garner three
runs, Norwood Skipper went on the
mound and from there on hand
cuffed the Bulldogs with two hits
while holding them scoreless.
Hicks, however, proved the master
Of the situation on more times than
one. He famed eight men and
brought himself out of a hole on nu.
merous occasions.
The BUGS tailed first in the open
ing frame when Afford went to first
on an error by Treadway. Edwards

and slammed out a long drive TO CEN

homer he was thrown out at home
plate. Aside from their three runs
in the sixth that came Oh n hit,
a walk, a hit by pitcher and an
error, the BUGS other run came In
the seventh on Sellers home run.
Atlantic Christian used three hits,
one a double by Houston to go ahead

The latter also worked in the
eighth, followed by Fritz Ostermuel-
Ter and Joe Heving, when the Browns
pulled into an 8.5 lead with another
four-run rally.
Cronin revived the Red Sox' droop-
ing spirits by homering with Will
liams aboard in the eighth and Ia

ed the bases by giving Williams a
double, and passes to Jimmy Foxx
and Bobby Doerr.

FOMENTING WAR

here has been Il general disposition

recurring umorS and incidents pointing
toward naZi Schemings and plottings III
the Republic of Mexico 1t was only last
week that the responsible authorities of
Mexico City declared quite emphatically
that they did not know of anything to
warrant all the fuss being kicked up
over the subject by the newspapers of
the United States. But during the last
day or two it seems that they have chang
ed their minds.
Yesterday a report came through from
the Mexican capital of a small army Of
German naz and Russian communist
agents actively working to toment a civil
Var within the boundaries Of our south
ern neighbor,, hui aimed principally ut
the United States; and of Mexican troops
patrolling frontiers to prevent the SNUG
CLING in of arms and ammunition.
News from Norway, of the methods
by which nazi secret agents prepared
the way there for the German army
doubtless did as much as anything else
10 awaken Mexico to the possibilities in
volved, and especially to the danger she
WAS inviting by neglecting to attend inn
mediately to the situation before it got
out of hand Probably the aspect that
lulled the Mexican authorities is that
of constant underground unrest which
they have more or less become accustom-
ed to. and which. naturally. serves as
a convenient cover for more serious and
sinister activities by the agents Of for
eign powers.
From the United States point Of view,
we are likely to overlook certain peril
