Volcanic sand on this beach is
SO soft that many of our vehicles
were mired down before they had
gone 10 feet In addition a ter
race a few yards from the water
hampercd their movements so that
they became an easy prey for
japanese gunners.
Only a few trucks got ashore
and for two days practically all
supplies were moved 10 the front
by hand. Even the unconquer-
able jeeD was stuck.
One can see amphibian tractors
turned upside down like pancakes
on a griddle, derricks brought
ashore TO unload cargo are tilted
at insane angles where shells
blasted them; anti-tank guns were
smashed before they had a chance
10 fire a shot. Even some bull

hitter in 1914, and Goody Roser
probably still is trying to figure
how his average has jumped from
PSI to 1884. A job as a regula,
might be the answer.
Stan Hack, a poisonous guy al
the plate no matter what his av.
erage, is among the select this
year with 1921 after a .282 season
in 1914. Mel OFT, a .288 exhibit
last year, is showing his age by
raising his average to .310, and
Louis Dino, like Rosen, is another
incredulous Dodger. His mark has
risen from .258 to juicy .313.
This has bee nthe year Of the
big drought for American League
hitters, and the average which
eventually wins the title would get
no better than honorable mention
in the National.
Only Lou Boudreau and George

and Boudreau missed a. lot of
games. Boudreau is hitting 1906 aft
er topping the league with 1927 in
1914, Stirnweiss, with .319 last sea-
son, is hitting .29S, which in the
American League this year is very
good.
The other 1914 leaders are just
guys named Joe this year. Bob
johnson has dropped from 1924 to
.280. Irwin Fox slithered from .315
to .245, although competing in only
about ga games this year. Dick
Siebert, a 1906 hitter last season,
is down to 1855. Hershel Martin
dropped from 1902 to 1868 and Mike
Kreevich from .301 to an asthma
tic $50.
Johnny Lazor, who played in
only is games last year and hit a
terrific .087, is around 1915 now
and might very well win the cham

He had played in only 96 through

RALLY IN EIGHTH
PROVIDES MARGIN
Errors, Downpour, Indian
Batsmen Swamp League
Leading Detroiter.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 20-H-The
Detroit Tigers, were hit by three
deluges in one inning today
Cleveland hits, their own errors,
and downpour from the skies
as they dropped 81 decision to
the Indians just when it looked as
if they were going to squeeze
through with a / to 0 triumph.
And the only thing that saved
them from having their American
league lead trimmed to one per-
centage point was the fact that
the New York Yankees licked
Washington.
The sudden outburst of Indian
hits and Tiger errors came just
minutes before terrific downpour
struck League Park. The game
was held up for AZ minutes and
the last tribe run and all Of the
Tiger half of the ninth was played
on a field that was sea Of mud
and water.
: For seven innings, big Al Benton,
aided a couple of times by some
brilliant fielding, had Cleveland
well under control and it looked
as if he might have regained his
early season brilliant form. .
Meanwhile, Detroit had picked
up run in the fourth on a walk
to Roger Cramer, a double by Roy
Cullenbine, an intentional walk to
Rudy York and Jimmy Outlaws
force out.
The eighth, however, brought the
collapse of the Tigers.
Dutch Meyer opened with a
single for Cleveland and went to
second on Cullenbine' error. Mick
ey Rocco hit to the same spot and
inept ball handling let him go to
second as Meyer moved to third.
Jeff Heath grounded out to Rudy
York and Meyer beat the throw
home to score.
Manager Steve O'Neill decided
Benton had had enough and rushed
Dizzy Trout in to put out the fire
but Dizzy was no fireman. He
walked Les Fleming Intentionally
and Don Ross banged single into
right to score Rocco.
Pat Secrecy hit to Eddie Mayo
whose poor throw to second allow
ed Ed Wheeler, running for Elem
ing to score. Frank Hayes also
singled to score Ross and all run
ners advanced as Bob Maier erred
on the throw from left field.
George Caster came in to re-
lieve Trout and Secrecy was nailed
at the plate on Eddie Cihocki's
bunt. Allie Reynolds kept the rally
alive, however, with a single that
scored Hayes as the downpour
struck after time was resumed
Meyer, batting for the second
time, singled to right to send CT
hocki across the plate but Rocco
finally ended the Tiger nightmare
by grounding out.

Manager Frank Mane- an
nounced yesterday that the Mason
boro Ramblers will meet the
strong Hampstead outfit again
Sunday on the Masonboro home
diamond. The game will be called
promptly at $3.50 p. m.
The Ramblers in spite of the
bad weather the City has suffered
the past three weeks, are in fine
shape for the Steaders. In the last
game the locals played three
weeks ago they were victors over
the scrappy Tabor City nine, 80

Last Sunday on the Hampstead
field the Steaders tangled with
the Wallace club for two innings

Wallace was at bat holding a

Maner announced that for the
first time in the last two months
he will not use his ace left

game. Billy Hardison, Wildcat
hurler is scheduled to take the
mound duties in Sundays game.
Harrison who is credited with all
the Cats wins in the past sea-

expected to hold the Steaders in

Harrison fails to clip the visitors

Wildcats, WhituiHe
To Clash Here Tonight
BY GENE WARREN

The New Hanover High School
Wildcats will attempt to chalk up
their second straight victory Of the
gridiron season tonight when they
tangle with the Whiteville Wolfpack
at the American Legion Stadium
at 500 o'clock.
Gaining the hearty support Of
Wilmington football fans last week
with a 1877 triumph over a good
New Bern eleven, Coaches L e n
Brodgen and Tom Davis sent their
gridders forward again tonight
ready to unlease the T" formation
plays, mixed with deadly aerial
attack.
Brodgen announced yesterday
evening that his starting lineup
would be the same which ''won the
opener from New Bern This list
of boys consist Of backs Kenneth
Rogers, the star Of last weeks's
ARRAY, Bubba Sykes, and Co-Cap-
tain David Bannerman at the left,

Taking the field ofor the White
vile squad are II lettermen led by
230-pound Raymond Creekmore, a
giant tackle, and Richard Powell,
1856 pound hipper-dipper tailback.
Coach Lester Stropp Of the Pack
fills out the remainder Of the line
up with David Hooks, hard-hitting
fullback, Bobby Rushing, a fleet
footed wingback, and Glasgow
White brushing tacklers aside from
the blocking back role.
Handling the tackle duties o.
posite big Creekmore in the line is
Calvin Smith, while Bill Carlise
and Billy Freedom take over the
tough guard jobs. Donald Taylor
furnishes the Blue and White pig
skiners with a fine center, as Billy
Fisher and Eugene Black snag
passes from the flank spots.
Ready to give large Creekmore
a tussel at tackle for the Orange
and Black is Co-Captain John
Hobbs, 202 FOUNDER and winner
of All-Conference honors last
season. Chubby Paul, 1856 lb. rum
ming mate of Johnny, fills in at the
other tackle post. Graham Bare
foot and Irwin Gore roam the front
wall as guards, while lanky Don
Hyatt acts as center. Two fine ends
are Herman Wick, formerly of Will
sson state-champions, and Buddy
Bridges.
The Whiteville crew suffered a
$50 defeat last year from the
mighty Wildcats and expect to gain
a sweet revenge on this Hanover
squad. The Wolfpack runs from
both the double and single wing

and packed with deception. Brod-
