The league record in this no-deci-

AS HOT B0ATMEN
SEEK 18TH. WIN
By BILL McILWAN

LEFTY Louis Cheshire, plump port
sided pitching ace of the North
Carolina Shipbuilding Company
baseball team, will twirl tonight
for the undefeated Boatbuilders as
they endeavor to rack up thirteenth
consecutive victory when they
tangle with the 397th Infantry from
Fort Bragg on the American Leg
ion Field at $3.50.
Vic Sorrell's red hot crew captur-
ed its twelfth straight triumph on
the Camp Lejeune diamond when
good looking Pate Fish let the
Marines down with one hit to reg
lister his fifth conquest of the sea-
son by 60 score.
Cheshire, the colorful southpaW
who often times has much more
"stuff'' than control, will be out to
snare his fourth hill verdict of the
campaign. In his last outing against
the Camp Davis Blue Brigade nine,
the chunky lefthander used his
sharp breaking curve and blazing
1doI Odl1 W ISlllC 1o oO1A1Sl p~e9
men via the third strike route. In
this encounter Cheshire limited the
AA boys to four hits but suffered
somewhat by his own wildness.
Spasmodic lapses in his control
seldom trouble the amiable Chesh-
ire, however, as he usually is able
to work himself out of most diff
culties by settling down to quell
the uprisings with several oppor-
tune strikeouts. Lefty's appearance
on the mound invariably helps the
contests attendance, as the horse
hide fans know therell never be a
dull moment with the husky chunk
err serving up his deceptive slants.
The Bragg club is well-heeled
with former professional perform
ers and has compiled an excellent
record while playing some of the
top service teams in this section.
