PIRATES TR0UNCE

Brooklyn Fails To Take AID
vantage Of Its Scoring
Opportunities

BROOKLYN, June % -R- The
return of Joe Medwick to the line
up Gas a pinch hitter) failed to
spur the Brooklyn Dodgers suffi.
GENTLY, and they lost a 7-2 deci-
sion to the Pittsburgh Pirates to-
day.
The Dodgers simply failed o
make the most of their scoring
opportunities. They touched Truett
Sewell for two runs in the first
inning and threatened to score in
the third, sixth, seventh and eighth
but each attack failed m%iserably.
Medwick appeared in the eighth,
coming to bat with the bases filled
and two out, but he grounded
weakly. 1t was his first time in
uniform since he was ''beaned'
Tuesday by Bob Bowman of the
Cardinals, an act that almost pre-
cipitated a National league scan
dial.
The Pirates attack featured two
home runs by Elbie Fletcher and
one by Vince DiMaggion included

I'LL llSl ullC LIZ
Wednesday night the Pirates are
anticipating an unusually large
crowd as they meet the LaurinburS
nine in a game being staged for
the benefit of Ernest Afford, EN-
terfielder, who broke his ankle in
the last game with the Durham
Golden Belt aggregation here as
he slid into second base.
Kite has announced he is bow
ing to the will of the fans and will
give the nod for opening mound
duty to none other than Monk
Harrington, who already this year
has had two opportunities on the
slab.
However, Kite said, if Monk can
not come up to scratch, he will be
pulled.
It'll pitch 'em dizzy" Harrington
said, as he revealed to sports fans
that he intends to use not only his
screw outball'' which, he said,
makes batters hit 'em to Stefano
on third base" but that he intends
to treat the visiting batsmen to
an entirely new brand of pitch.
which, he said, will make them
powerless. He refused to reveal
inst what no iptapI. 70 I,.o, l,,+
seemed confident the visiting play
ers would not be able to touch it.
Tickets for the game have been
placed m sale, with the advance
sale price being slightly lower than
that which will be charged at the
gate Wednesday night. Tickets may
be obtained from any member of
the team.
Friday night the Pirates will
tanSle with the Beaufort nine in
a return game postponed from last
Wednesday night due to wet
grounds. The Beaufort aggregation
has handed the BUGS one defeat
and Kite said he plans to throw
hl0 strongest combination of play
ers against them Friday night in
an effort to reverse the score.
Moore, Pirate first sacker who
has been suffering from a charley
horse, will not be in the lineup at
Whiteville this afternoon and there
was some doubt whether he would
be in shape to play against the
strong Laurinburg aggregation
Friday night. Stefano, who had
been out of the lineup until Friday
night, is expected to play today

EZZELL POSTS FEE
FOR HANSON BOUT
Former Champion Expected
To Post His Fee Monday
Morning At 10 O'Clock

William Henry Ezzell, Whining
ton townships graphing constable,
gave notice last night he is serious
in his challenge handed Fritz Han
son to meet him in the ring at
Legion field Thursday night.
To prove the seriousness of his
intentions the constable posted a
S25 forfeit and said he under
stands Fritz will post his no later
than Monday morning at 10
o'clock.
Twill you pin him, William Hen
ry?" he Vas asked.
Hell find he's meeting the
toughest man he ever saw" the
constable said, which was a lot,
for Hanson was formerly champ
ion of the world in his weight and
fought in the days when wrestling
was more of a science than it is
today.
Meanwhile Scotty Dawkins, the
promoter, said that he, too, under
stands Hanson will accept the chal-
lenge and will post his forfeit fee
to prove his good intentions.
The card which Dawkins has ar
ranged for Thursday night ordinar-
lily would be an eye-filler, but in
the light of the Ezell-Hanson bout
will probably take something of a
back seat in the minds of crap
ping fans.
In the opener Bibber Mccoy will
meet Tiny Morgan, 350-pound Tex

6 feet seven inches above the can
van and who has completed his
past As starts without a loss.
In the finale of the night the
ever-popular Johnny Mars will
meet Ellis Bashara.

be for the best two of three falls
with a 80 minute limit and the lat
ter will be a one-fall affaire with
