PESKY STAYING IN
TO HELP RED SOX
Although Suffering Groin
Injury, Shortstop Keeps
In Game

BOSTON, May 7.-(P-Gritty lit
tie Johnny Pesky, who should be
on the bench resting a painful groin
injury, is welding the hottest bat
in the majors to spark the drive OF
the fast travelling Red Sox.
Always a team player, the speedy
shortstop declined the offer of Man
ager Joe Cronin 10 rest up and
daily ignores discomfort to lend his
potent stick to the cause Of keep
ing the seekers out in front.
A club house boy in Portland,
Ore, only a few years ago, Johnny
has come out of the Navy ready to
resume his habit of leading all
others in number of hits. He did it
in 1942-his first year with the Red
Hose - and also in 1941 in the
American Association, and the year
previously in the Piedmont League.
Before today's game, he had col
lected "a ~safeties in IA times al
bat for a .430 average to lead both
leagues. He also has scored the
most runs-23.
Johnny used to scrub the shoes OF
Pinky Higgins out on the west coast
and yesterday he passed up a
chance to equal the Tiger third
saeker's record of II consecutive
hits. Pesky already had IL in a
row when he went after a bad ball
and grounded out when the hit and
run sign was up.

SCORE in EIGHTH
Old Time Hitting Bee Pulls
Defeat Into Victory
AT Fayetteville

FAYETTEVILLE, May 1.-THE
Wilmington Wildcats almost drop
ped out Of the Eastern Conference
baseball championship race here
yesterday afternoon, as they had
to come from behind in the eighth
inning to turn a 4 to 8 defeat into
a 7 to 4 victory.
Coach Leon Brogden's boys, who
ran up a lop-sided win at Will
mington in April found a scrappy
Fayetteville nine, fighting for
every run, and taking advantage OF
four New Hanover errors to battle
the Cats to a stretch finish.
Runs Unearned
Herman Wick, ace of the Wildcat
mound corps, started off on the
hill for Wilmington, and held Fay
etteville's hitters in check until
the third frame, when after two
outs the Hanoverian right fielder
dropped a fly, which led to three
Bulldog tallies. After the miscue,
Byrd singled in H. Cheshire, who
had reached first base before the
error, and Williams drove Yates
and Byrd across with another base
knock through second. None OF
these runs were earned though,
because of the error.
New Hanover came back in the
first half of the fourth to tie the
score at three all. J. c. Price, the
hitting star of the day, led off with
a single. Wick reached first on the
Fayetteville second sacker's fun
BILE of his grounder. Gibson sacri-
feed both to second and third
respectively with a bunt. Heath
drew a base on balls, and To-day
Fennell dropped a clean hit into
left field to account for two runs.
Sykes hit to the second baseman,
who forced Fennell out at second,
but the shortstop in attempting to
complete a double play overthrow
first, permitting Heath to tally the
third and last run OF The inning.
Last Marker
The other run Of Fayetteville
was also unearned. Yates singled
to left field, Byrd popped to first,
and Williams drove a hot ground
err over second, which "Bubba"
Sykes fumbled, letting Yates rack
up run number four for Fayette-
vile. This was the last Bulldog
marker.
J. c. Price started off the big
Wildcat rally in the eighth inning
with a hit to center field. A passed
ball put him on second, and after
Wick had grounded to third, Donald
Edward drove a high fly 10 left.
"Tinkey" Rogers put life in the
Cats though, poking the longest
hit of the day into right-center
field, bringing in the tying run
Fennell was walked for the third
time of the day, and W. A. Brown
tapped a clean bingle into right,

hit brought in the sixth run, and
