HERE AND HER

Capt. John Eriksen, of the men

or of Southport, says there is plen-
ty of bluefish and mackerel bait
in the shape of small hairyback
menhaden, on the coast from Lock
woods Folly inlet to Little River.
This, he says, means there will
soon be plenty of fighting blues
and mackerel running off South
port, Carolina Beach and Wrights-
vile Beach. e. A. Prevatt, OF
Lumberton, hooked and captured
a four-foot pilot shark on Frying
Pan this week. These pilot sharks
are world-beaters for hitch-hiking.
They have a sticker on top of their
heads and with it they attach them
selves to the belly (pardon us)
of some larger fish and get a free
ride wherever the larger fish is
going. . and it doesn't make any
difference to the shark. . Hear
David Stick, of Angling Angles in

written about Bucky, has kept the temperamental hurler
in our mind recently. And now Stan Swinton, of the APP
feature service comes along with a yarn about Bucky,
dubbed by him as "Bubbling Bo Bo," figuring that if a
man can't keep rabbits in his hotel room he might as we'll
concentrate on baseball. Swlnton says that decision re-
suited in 10 straight wins for Newsom who skyrocketed
the temperature of basebal-mad Michigan 20 degrees and
brought back dreams ola World Series to the town which
can't forget the glories of "a and '35.
He points out that Bucky has worn enough uniforms
to outfit a drum and bugle corps but he's never had a
chance to pitch in a world series season. But Bucky would
like to'and that is one reason, Swinton says, why a season
which started out in the best tradition of baseballs top
screwbal has started serious and Bucky is now strictly as
Louis Norman Newson. Bucky likes to work and one
of the easiest ways to get him aroused, Swinton points
out; is to keep him from pitching for five days running.
Says Swinton further:
Explains Tiger first baseman Rudolf York: He does
twice as much pitching in any game as other pitchers be-
cause he's wild and is three and two with lots of batters.
1t isn't that old Bo-Bo can't get the ball over, but he's
out there experimenting and pitching off the corners in
stead of over the corners. I'll bet he walks fewer batters
on three and two balls than anybody else, proving he can
fine control if he quit experimenting.
fine control if he quit experimenting
"Bo-Bo wouldn't be Bo-Bo without that experimenting
though. The Tigers were in last place on May ID, 1899,
when they traded o%utfielder Chef Laabs, pitchers Bob
Harris, George Gill, Roxie Lawson and Vernon Kennedy,
plus third-baseman Mark Christman for Bo-Bo, short
stop Red Kress, %outfielder Beau Bell and hurler James
Walkup. Now they're a topfight pennant contender.
That's why the Tigers don't mind Bo-Bo's experimenting

someone in the crowd to met him
in the ring at Legion field.
Who'll give me a match?" how
led the wrestling constable, glow

into their respective pockets and
handed William Henry a match

behind him, whip William Henry

This was adding insult to injury

whose only other claim to promi-
enc was that he once won the
Chicago district junior title, spilled
Jim Ferrier Of Sydney, Australia,
amateur and open champion in that
country, 1 up, in a tight SO hole
match.
Ward had a much easier time in
blasting out an 8 and Z triumph
over Harry Todd of Dallas, Texas,
largely by reason of some deadly
iron play to the greens which left
him many times in position to putt
for brides.
For both Todd and Ferrier the
defeated, it was a case of losing
largely by reason Of inability to sink
short puts. Ferrier, co-medalist OF
the tournament, had run a string
of six consecutive rounds in the
tournament under par until in the
afternoon 10 holes when he needed
a medal of IA strokes. Todd made
a miserable showing on the greens
throughout his match and particu-
larly during the afternoon round.

a good thing, providing many who

we site the large number of people

BY ROD SPARROW

After continuing their winning streak Friday night in
ing of Skipper, the BUGS are, we fear, due for a fall next
Wednesday night. Bert Kite, Pirate pilot, is ~dickering with
the Kinston nine and from past experience we would say
if he is successful, and indications are he will be, the score
should be Kinston 4; Wilmington 3. That has been the
result in the last two games the teams have played .
one in 1889 and the other in 1888.
The Kinston manager always manages to bring a top
notch team to Wilmington. Usually he brings along a
couple of Coastal Plains players who boost the strength
of the Al-Star nine considerably. This year it looks prob
able that Stringfellow, McCaskill and others may be on
the Kinston lineup and in that event the Pirates may well
beware.
Wednesday night, Kite has announced, will be ladies
night, with all feminine fans to be admitted without
charge regardless of whether or not they are accompanied
by male escorts. If Friday night was any indication there
will be plenty Of them on hand.
incidentally, did you hear any of the history lesson
that was carried on up in Rooters' Row Friday night ?
You might have thought there wasn't any ballgame being
played. But Wednesday night we have a bunch the gals
won't be talking history, but yelling their lungs out. Yep,
we think it will be that kind OF game.

BRIGADE 7 PLAY
COMPANY A TEAM
Taylor : Colquitt To Take
Crack At City Optical
In Nightcap

The first full week of softbaL
dnder the flood lights at the Roo
ert Strange Fairgrounds begins
Monday night at 8 o'clock with the
Boys Brigade tangling with Com
pany A in a Commercial league
game and Taylor.C olquitt taking a
crack at City Optical for the night
cap.
All during the week the CONNER
cial loop clubs will feature the 8
to 9 hour with the Independents
on the lobster shift. Next week the
order will be reversed.
In an effort to meet the unpre-
cedented demand for bleacher space,
every effort will be made, so league
officials have announced, to con-
struct additional seats along first
and third base foul lines.
Five thousand or more enthusi-
asts of the game turned out to
bank the lighted ball park Thurs
day for the opening double bill. AS
many were on hand Friday. By the
first of the week the players should
be somewhat accustomed to the arcs,
to the overwhelming crowds, and
team managers believe the boys will
find their groove and continue to
turn out fast, exciting contests.
Efforts are also being made to
enable each game last the full seven
innings instead of stopping it at a
specified time, irrespective of the
score an inning.
While these games are free and
the public invited, a collection will
be taken each night to defray the
heavy expense Of lights and other
league demands.
The full weeks schedule is as
follows:
Monday, first game, Boys Brigade
VS.. Company A; second game, Tay-
lori olquitt VS.. City Optical.
Tuesday, first game, American
Bakers VS.. Spofford Mills; second
game, E. W. Godwin's Sons VS..
Ethyl.Dow Chemists.
Wednesday, first game, American
Bakers VS.. Sunshine Laundry; Sec
ond game, City Optical vs.. Wer-
theimer Bag company.
Thursday, first game, Boys Bri-
gade VS.. Sunshine Laundry; second
game, E. w. Godwin's Sons VS.. Tay-
lor-Colquitt.
Friday, first game, Company A
VS.. Spofford Mills; second game,
Wertheimer Bag company VS.. Ethyl
Dow.

Wednesday night will be Ladies
night. with all feminine fans being
admitted free.
For the last two years the Pr
rates have played one game each
season with Kinston and are yet to
come. through with a win.
But Wednesday night they feel
they will have a little better
chance than in 1898 and 1899, for
they will have hurting for them
none other than the Carolina Sen
sation, Lefty Cheshire.
Cheshire has been playing IN
New York state with a fast semi
pro team and during his stay
there won six and lost two.
Each year the Kinston team has
presented a strong ~aggregatlon
boosted by the addition Of two OF
more Coastal Plains league
players.

well-known to ball fans here. 40

was Charley Keller who blasted a
