PRINTERS MEET
R. C.'S OUTFIT
Leland Bears To Have 1t Out
With Purol Bluebirds In
Brunswick County

In high spirits following the al.
most victorious invasion Of the
stronghold of Bert Kites Pirate
crew, the Cape Fear baseball asso-
citation this afternoon turns its at.
tention once again to it's own bitter
struggle for second half honors,
with four fast games scheduled to
be played.
The amateurs will take on the
semi-pros in the second round of
their three set at Legion field next
Wednesday night.
Today's bulletin finds the tied
for-top Royal Crownmen entertain
ing the Jackson Bell Printers at
Robert Strange while the other CO.
leader. the Leland Bears, are hav-
ing it out with the Purol Bluebirds
on the Brunswick diamond. The
Hi-Kappas have tn e Masonboro
Ramblers for company at the Hill
ton bawliwick and Snag Allen and
his Pepsi boys square off against
the puzzling Athletics on the Le-
gion diamond.
Speaking of Friday nights pitch
ing spectacle between the Pirates
crafty Jack Shoaf and the Cape
Fear All Stars mound ace, Snag
Allen, we would class it as one of
the best exhibitions at Legion sta
dium this season. However, with
the exception of the eighth chapter
when the Bucs tucked away the
ball game, with a tWo-run out
burst, the alert amateur aggrega-
ton equalled or bettered the per-
formance of their more expert
enced brethren of the diamond cult
in very department of the trade.
For next Wednesday nights fray
neither club has released the start
ing lineup, but Lefty Brew is ex-
pected to start on the rubber for
the Cape Fearers with hard-work-
ing Buck Tyre on the receiving.
There may be some change in the
infield as we'll as the outfeld line
up for the boys who play for fun.
In today's more-or-less prelimin-
aries to Wednesday nights second
ENHANCEMENT with the Bucs. there
is expected to be a few changes
all around the circuit in respects
to starting pitchers due to the fact
that several of the top-notch hurl-
ers are out of action for various
reasons.
Johnny Edens, of the res, will
likely desert his third base position
to assume the chunking chores for
his team against the Printers who
are expected to counter with their
newest mound artist, Hurley Sc
we'll in an effort to halt the ad-
vance of the CroWnmen. For catch
ers the res have either S a m
Smith or Ed. Wilson and the Print
ers have Manager Robson.
Another shakeup is in the max
ing for the Hi-Kappas in this after
Moons game with the Ramblers.
Seeking to put the brakes on the
skidding fraternity boys, Manager
Lewis has announced that young
Billy Pieper would be the starting
finger with another youngster, Al
vim Tatum, taking over the CATCH
ing duties. Backstop Austin Nc
Donald has Joined Snuff Hobbs on
the fraternity injured list and it is
doubtful that either will play again
this season. g
To fill in the gaps caused by
this shift, the Kappas may place
Shep Westbrook at the second base
post and Leon Thomas in the hot
corner with the rest of the inner
defense remaining the same.
Hard hit for starting hurlers, the
Ramblers will send Lefty Walter
Winn or Bobby Edwards against
the frat nine with Tyre on the re-
ceiving line. No other changes are
expected in either lineup.
Lefty Brew is the probable pitch
er for the Lelanders against the
Bluebirds' fastballer, Headon Pr
ner in the Leland affair. Red Mill.
er will be on hand in the event Pi-
ner should falter. James Baker
will be the Purol catcher and Pen
Clark will hold that job for the
home outfit.
Johnnie Carter and Burney Cow
ington is the probable starting
combination for the PCS as
against the Athletics Fletcher Pi.
