No information was given out
regarding the specific place or
places attacked but the wording
Of the official announcement, which
said numerous hits were scored
IN the designated target areas"
suggested that more than one base
may have been ralded. The only
rublicized enemy base in the north
crn islands is on the northern end
OF Para,nushirc which lies directly
south If Russia's Kamchatka pen
lnsula.
The Japanese had reported the
second attack several hours be-
fore the Navy released the news.
They claimed in broadcast from
Tokyo that the bompers had been
repulsed.
Word of operations in the Aleu-
tians, rom which the American
bombers TOOK off for their long
over water operation, was still
lacking. 1t has been IA days since
any reported attacks were made
on Kiska island, the last enemy
outpost west ct the Kuriles in the
North Pacific Kiska apparently
has been marked for invasion and
the silence about activities in that
area has given rise to considerable
speculation here that conquest of
the island may be imminent.

Metaln1en Squad Fauored
F.. To Take Round Robin Tilt

3 The second round of the Cape
Fear baseball loops elimination
contest to determine a second hall
champion to meet Camp Davis
Fighting AA's next week for the
1943 title, gets underway Friday
afternoon at the American Legion
stadium with the hard-hitting
Sheetmetal workers locking horns
with Pate Fish's hustling Welders
at 4:45.
In the first game of the playoff,
which halted the semi-pro circuit S
second half race, the pace-settlng
Bluethenthal Bombers trounced
the Blades Wednesday afternoon
and thereby moved into position
to meet today's winner for the last
lap prize on the Legion field.
Because Of their batting power
which enabled them to lead the
league in team batting, the Metal
men workers are the slight favor
ties to cop today's fracas and
meet the Bombers Sunday. But
past records will indicate that
the Welders are not to be count
ed out, with their ace pitcher,
Joe Sanders, expected back IN
time to give the Metalworkers a
sample of his knuckleballing that
scored an upsetting win over Camp
Davis and enabled the righthander
to turn in several other good
mound performances since the
season rounded the halfway mark.
It will be Joe Moon, sidearm
highlander on the slab for the
Sheetmetal gang and all the reg
ulars with the exception of vaca-
tioning Ed Urbon are expected to
break into the starting array.
Hill will be the catcher for the
Welders and "Pig" Joynor will
be behind the platter for the op-
posing nine. Poteat is the Welder
firstsacker and Stanley will hold
the initial sack for the Metalmen.
Hobson, the loops number two
batter will oppose the Welder's
srnooth-fielding Mills at the key
stone position and the Sheetmetars
Bare will be at third; while Pierce
or Lancaster will be on the hot
corner for the Fishmen. Joe Saw
yer is the Welder's shortfielder
but the shortstop nomination for
the Metalmen has not been an
nounced, although Dejarnett is the
likely choice.
Rogers, Clark, and Lancaster
or Pierce will do the fly-chasing
Paxton and Snow or Charley JOY
for the Welders, and Burchette,
ner will probably be in the Metal
outfield.
