Brothers, it was plenty cold at Legion Held FRIDAY
afternoon when the Wildcats took on the Clinton nine,
but despite the uncomfortable atmosphere, we enjoyed the
game. In the past we have had variable experiences when
we have clambered out on limbs, but we feel fairly sale
in saying the Cats have a title team this year. The hurl-
ing staff still looks a mite weak, but fridays game was
hardly a fair test and the moundsmen may show up oet-
ter as time goes on. Pieper has a nice last ball but neeos
experience. Alderman looks better than last year and Lamb
looks rather dependable.
This lad Jones, who hurled part OF the time tor the
visitors and who pitched for the Clinton Tide water loop
team last year, looked plenty good on the mound friday
and is probably as good a chunker as the Cats Will meet
this year. Incidentally the lineup of the Clinton team
sounded like that of the Tide Water loop team last year:
Jones, Kaleel, Fakes ,etc.
The Cape Fear loop seems to be rounding into shape
and if our ears are correctly informed is gong TO pc a
much faster league this year than last. We have a mite OF
a bunch there will be a bit of money spent on the league
this year and when the playing gets close, watch those
boys go!
Won't be long now before the colored boxers of East
Carolina are mixing it up at Legion fields exhibit build
ing and this corner is predicting it will be a slam bang
affair.
Some of these lads who toss the leather really know
their business. They have ample power and are able TO
take punishment and whereas another Joe Louis may not
non up. the folks who like action in the ring Will be on
