II to 8 score.
Really Hit
The visitors hit safely IL times
and when we say hit we mean J1st
hat for those boys really put the
wood to the ball. The cats gar
nered IA hits and except for n
bad inning-the siXth-played very
rood baseball. In fact, the Locals
held enough of a lead at the begin
hing of the sixth to have won the
game easily. But the New al
pyer boys eased up a bit with that
much margin and an opportunity
grabbing Coon team made the most
Of it.
Wilson has now won five games
by safe margins, with nary a de-
feat. The Cats have o SIX ana
lost one. Wilson looks very potent
and as strong or perhaps stronger
than any other team in the con-
ference, but if the Cats watch their
step they should stay apace with
the Coonmen for the rest of the
season.
King For Two Days
The Horse will be king for the

morrow at Legion field and this

Uses more unadulterated color than

Yesterday afternoon the stables
at the field were practically filled
with the array of fine horses-per-
haps the finest lot ever seen here.
Several were sent through their
PAGES on the special track in prep
aration for the competition for the
many prizes to be awarded.
Incidentally, it appears that the
Leatherwood farms entries will be
scratched before the show opens be-
cause of injuries sustained by

VISITORS STAGE
RALLY in SIXTH
Triumph Is First Loop Win
For Wilson, First Defeat
Of Year For Locals

Staging an eight.run splurge In
the sixth inning and rapping two
Wildcat hurlers for is hits, the
Wilson High school baseball team
handed the New Hanover nine It's
first defeat of the season at Legion
field yesterday afternoon as it
marked up an 11-8 Eastern Class
A conference victory.
Trailing 7 to / at the beginning
Of the sixth stanza, the visitors
went on a seventh batting spree
that shelled Allison Alderman, the
Cats starting hurler. off the mound
and when the fireworks had died
down the visitors were out front 9
to Z.
The locals threatened in the
ninth when a hit by Horton and
a brace of hobbies by the Coonmen
enabled one run to come In, but
effective pitching by big Sam Tate
made the rally shortlived for
Rhodes hit into a double to end
the game.
The victory was Wilson's first
conference win and fifth consecu.
tive triumph of the eason Up to
yesterday the Wildcats had been
undefeated in six starts.
Scoring one in the first, three in
the third and three more in the
fifth, the locals practically had the
game in the bag for the first half
of the contest. In all the Cats
garnered IA base blows but five
errors counteracted this power at
the plate and the heavy-hitting
Wilson brigade made the best Of
every bobble to prove that an OPP
ponent of theirs a never slacken
his pace.
Wilson tailed first in the third
on two CONSECUTIVE" hits, including
a triple by Laughinhouse, and an
Annie Oakley to first. 1t added
singletons in the seventh and ninth
on two hits and an equal number
Of errors.
Two walks, a safety by Paige
and a sacrifice hit gave the Cats
one in the opening frame. Base
blows by Horton, Stands, Lee and
Rhodes and a. sacrifice by Smidt
sent three runs scampering cross
the plate in the third. Three hits, a
single by Horton, a two-baser by
Smidt and a triple by Alderman,
coupled with a base on balls &C.
counted for the three markers in
the fifth stanza.
Looking like just another ordinary
ball club until the sixth, Wilson un.
loosened its long distance hitting
machine against Alderman, with
Stott leading off with a single. Three
more safeties and an error ended
Alderman reign on the mound.
Roy Lamb came into the game
with the bases loaded. The first
man up grounded out and Mercer
the lead-off man famed. But then
things went out Of control, Herring
drove a clean single between first
and second and clearinghouse fol-
lowed up with his second three.ply
blow of the day. A walk. two hits
and two errors enabled the visitors
to score their eight markers before
B. Wright grounded out to retire the
side. In all IL Wilson batsmen saw
action in this frame.
Tate, who succeeded J. Wright on
the mound at the beginning Of the
fourth, was credited with the vic
tory. Lamb was the losing pitcher.

QUi7fs Lose Tonsils
All Ten of Them-ond Here's Why

The report certainly completely
justifes DR.. Dafoe and furnishes
a good guide for the layman OF
what a doctor thinks are the in
dications for tonsil removal-re-
peated attacks of tonsillitis, fol-
lowed by large, chronically III
fected tonsils and invasion of the
lymph-nodes in the neck.
One point was subsequently
criticized by DR.. Herbert A. Rel
mann, of Philadelphia-the re-
port of the specialist who stated
that the enlargement of the
lymph-nodes "is palpable evidence
that the infection is spreading
and at any time may get into the
whole system, producing dsas-
trous results" This is theoretical
and, in fact, if such infection pro-
duced disastrous results, few OF
us would have escaped them.
"Such unguarded statements, "
wrote Dr.. Rcimann, "have no
doubt been responsible for reed
less tonsillectomy."

With nine tricks surely in sight,
he wanted not one, but Two extra

After East won the diamond 10
with the A and returned his last
club, dummy tossing a spade, Mr..
Cummings went to serious work
on his plan. He took the club re-
turn with his A, cashed two dia-
monds and the spade X, then led
the fourth diamond, tossing a
heart from mis- own hand. West at
this stage had two spades, three
hearts and the high club. He had
to shed one. Regardless Of which
he chose, it would build a trick
for the declarer. He picked the
club 10.
Mr.. Cummings then came to his
hand with the heart A and played
the club :. West was squeezed
again, between his major double
tons. When he picked a heart, the
dummy discarded a spade and
took the last three tricks.

10 Your Worst British
epIy. Were Undismoyed'
No More Reason
To Surrender Than
Before. Say|sIes
By WALLACE CARROLL

LONDON, Sept. ID. (UP)
Great Britain today defied
Nazi demands to choose be-
tween surrender and destruc-
ton of London, despite new air
alarms and a night-long bombing
attack that damaged the famous
law courts and South Africa House
in the heart of the capital.
Defiant of new air raid alarms
that sent the population to shelters
for brief periods, responsible sources
received with ridicule the warning
from well-informed sources in Ber-
lin.
"Why?" one source asked. ut
doesn't seem there is any more
reason for surrender now than
months ago.
"The government and people are
undismayed by German bombings.
Food is plentiful. The homeless are
being cared for.
This is merely another instance
of wishy-washy propaganda. 1t is
also a possible sign that Germany
is weakening under the continuous
and ever-growing royal air force
counter blows"
The law courts are where famous
divorce cases and civil suits are
heard at the entrance to "the city
or densely crowded financial section
of London, at the junction of Tenn
pie Bar and the Strand.
South Africa House is at the COR
ner of Trafalgar Square, which is
dominated by the famous monu-
ment of Nelson.
Official disclosure of the damage
to the law courts followed eXplO-
sion of a time bomb that damaged
the gates of Buckingham Palace
and discovery that one of the great
windows of Westminster Abbey had
been damaged by bomb.
There was general belief in gov
ernment sources that, after solid
week of big-scale Nazi air attack,
the morale of the people was strong
er than ever. This was believed due
in part to the improved anti-air
craft defenseS and a new design of
balloon barrage, which permits bal
loon to fly at a much greater alti-
tude than previously.
The possibility of weekend in
vasion attempt was not discounted
and the authoritative British press
association began issuing invasion
bulletins" concerning weather con-
ditions that might aid or hinder a
German thrust.
Weather conditions off Dover
today are slightly less favorable for
any possible German invasion at
tempts than in weeks past" the
press association said.
"a southwesterly breeze ruffles
the surface of the sea. Mist wells the
French coast. At intervals the sun
shone brightly through fast moving
patches of dense white cloud, drift
ing beneath a high ceiling of fleecy
cloud formation which tempered the
chilly wind"

Italians in Egypt
Occupy Base Near
Libyan Frontier

CAIRO. Sept. IA. CUP)-Italian
forces have invaded Egypt and have
occupied Sollum, British base in
Egypt near the Libyan frontier.
The occupation was announced
in a British general headquarters
communique.
Following their plan of pushing
forward into no-man's land the
enemy yesterday advanced into the
area which includes the escarp-
ment to the southwest of Sollum
and the ruined, empty village itself
and the ruins of Musaid", the COM
munique said.
Sollum, in the western desert
and near the Mediterranean coast
has been the target for italian
bombers for several weeks.
Italian movements are beine
watched and harassed by our arm
ored fighting vehicles who have the
situation well in hand" the COM
munique said. "On other fronts
there is nothing to report"
Sollum, at the head of the gulf
of Sollum, is only five miles inside
the frontier.

that he had succeeded in elimi-

LONDON, Sept. IA. CUP)-A time
bomb dropped by a German dive
bomber yesterday exploded in front
OF Buckingham palace today,
part of an iron grille and scattered
debris in the outer quadrangle
where redcoat soldiers of the house
hold guards parade in peace time
at the changing of the guard.
1t had been thought that only
five bombs were dropped near the
palace. Four exploded when drop
ped. The one that exploded today
had not been included in the count.
Palace officials said that the
plane which dropped the bombs
dove through a balloon barrage to
1000 feet altitude.
Newspaper correspondents were
shown the damage today.
While they we're touring the pal
ace an air raid alarm sounded and
they took refuge in the basement
with 100 or more workmen who
have been removing broken glass,

the navy said that the plane had

it can avert further German attacks
by not attacking us-like in foot
ball game-it is mistaken. The Ger
man air force will continue to give
answer. The British have challeng-
ed the German nation for many
months by bombing civilians. 1t is
not a question as to whether one
German life is worth 10 or 100 Brit
ish lives but question of British
criminal unpreparedneSs to defend
their own population"
1t was said that early German
raids over Britain today were for
purposes of armed reconnaissance"
to observe the results of previous
raids.
During the night, it was asserted
large scale attacks were made on
London and military and industrial
objectives" in almost all parts of
the city were bombed.

have aimed at Berlin were driven
