Despite a steady drizzle of rain,
the Wilmington American Legion

Rangers, 5 to l, at Legion Stadium
last night, as Teddy Fennel] and
Duncan Futerelle alternated OF the
mound for the Juniors, who are
currently fighting for the Eastern
Section crown of North Carolina.
Frank Hines Rangers hit well,
but some smart defensive work by
j. c. Price and Homer Brewer
saved the day for Coach Leon
Brogden's team.
The main difference between the
two clubs can be well told by the
five errors of Winter Park COM
pared with only two by the Juniors.
Price had a field day, batting
two for three, and also making
two spectacular catches in the out
er part of left field. The Whining
ton shortstop received loud ap-
plause for his one handed snag OF
Johnny Edens' drive into left, when
he jumped high into the air, knock
ed the ball down, catching as it
fell.

their sympathy by inviting the
Wildcats to the Duke-Durham
southern tournament. Here Will
mington upset the second seed
ed Washington high school,
Greenville high, and lost only
to the tourney winner-Frank-
fort, Kentucky. A handsome
consolation trophy was given
to the team for its brilliant
display of basketball.
Brogden developed his cham

As lettermen could not over
shadow speedy w. A. Brown
Or setshot artist Billy Lee.
Brogden's coaching ability
reached its greatest height in
basketball, especially for the
Durham game, in which he
proved unequaled in forming
an impregnable defense.
Baseball
Baseball found the veteran
mentor shifting everyone of the
AS returnees to new positions
TO find the best offensive and
defensive combination. Not
much was expected from the
Wildcat baseball nine, but when
the season ended, Brogden and
his club were in Gastonia,
fighting for the state cham
pionship.
Only the year before Wilson
had smothered Wilmington by
twenty runs. Now it proved a
different story. The Cats
whipped the Cyclones three
times. There was no doubt that
Wilmington's athletic achieve
ments stood above all others in
North Carolina.
When the fans toast Brogden
tonight, let them remember
how much he has done in the
sports field. The youngsters he
has worked with, criticized,
and praised have excellent
chances of, through college
scholarships for football, bas-
ketball, or baseball, going to
North Cardinals greatest uni
versities.
One of Wilmington's fore
most citizens expressed q gen.

he said, "Brogden is Whining
toms number one citizen"
Along with the other laurels
for him the Star wishes 20
thank Brogden for his great
work and cooperation with us,
and also express our firm con-
fidence in him for the re-
mainder of his coaching career
in our port city.

St. Johns parish house will
be the site of a tremendous
banquet, h%onoring Coach Leon
BrOgden, Tom Davis and the
members of the New Hanover
High School baseball team,
Eastern Conference champions,
tonight at Z o'clock. A crowd
of over one hundred local sport
followers are expected for the
event to express their thanks
to Coach Brogden, and hear
the speaker, Oliver X. Corn
well of the University of North
Carolina.
One Of Many
This banquet is only one of
many that have been given to
Coach Brogden's teams this
year. Others we're for the foot
ball and basketball squads,
which also turned in brilliant
performances for Wilmington.
In addition to the honors
heaped upon the MINIS coach,
the Wilmington Morning Star
wishes to review the exploits
Of both Brogden and his teams
during the past year So that
local fans can sec his unparal-
leled achievements. The honor
paid Brogden tonight can never
compare with honor Brogden
has given our city.
Football
In football he took an un-
familiar "T' formation, switch
ed the first stringers of 1914
about to the positions most
natural for them, and came
out with a third place team.
Only the season before, Will
mington won only one game,
the Whiteville contest, and then
failed 20 score on a conference
opponent. The set" was an as
set, not a burden to the Wild
cats. 1t was for light boys.
The former system, the single
wingback, could no longer be
used by a squad, averaging
100 pounds per man as it had
by the two hundred Founders
of other years. This move prov
ed the key one In Wilmington's
great comeback on the grid
iron.
Basketball started slowly for
the locals, but gained momen-
tum, and MINIS won the North
Carolina basketball crown, I'M
officially. An ineligibility suit
brought against the locals by

crucial Durham games pre-
vented Wilmington from gain
ing recognition as the state
champion. Brogden's team de-

BRITTIAN'S BOYS
FACE TOUGH WEEK
Single Game Tonight;
Double Bills Wednes-
day, Saturday

The Wilmington Pirates, rain
ed out last night in Sanford, will
return to Legion Stadium tonight
to meet the Spinners in the second
game of the series. The contest
will be called at 7:45 o'clock.
The Buccaneers still face a heavy
schedule this week. Wednesday
night they tackle the Clinton Blues
in a double header and Thursday
they hit the road to play the Blues
a return game at Clinton. From
the Sampson county seat the BUGS
hop over to Angier-Fuquay and re-
turn home again Saturday to bat
tie the Angler club in a twin bill
under the arcs at Legion Stadium.
1t could not be learned late last
night if Bert Kite was successful
in his efforts to persuade Willie
Duke to place big Van Lingle
Mungo, the Clinton former major
Lacquer on the mound here against
Wilmiagton's ex-big Lacquer, Nate
Andrews. Kite said Sunday night
he was trying to contact the Gin.
ton manager to arrange a battle
on the mound between the two
hurlers.
The Pirates seem to have hit the
come back trail, winning two out
of three with the Smithfield Leafs
owe the weekend. In the Satur-
day night twin bill the Buccaneers
captured the opener and lost the
nightcap. At Smithfield Sunday aft
ernoon Roy Lamb pitched and bat
ted the locals to a II TO 3 victory.
1t would be hard to figure just
what pitcher manager Brittian will
send to the mound here tonight as
his entire staff has had a day of
rest. Thayer Jenkins, Buddy Holt,
George Brooks, Nate Andrews,
Roy Lamb, Jack Estes and Quig-
ley are ready to see action.
Brittian has improved the hitting
power of the club by getting in the
lineup. He is showing his heels to
the rest Of the Pirates and is fast
climbing to the top of the Buc-
cancers batting averages. Young
Paul Smith and Hargrove Davis
are hitting at a fast clip and Andy
Cullen seems to have snapped his
long .aitless' streak. He poled out
a long four-bagger in Sundays
game. Andy Poklemba is rocking
out a base knock now and then and
the team as a whole has been clout-
ing the pill at an improved rate
in the past several games.
Kite says he is still trying hard
to find players to build up the eel
lar dwelling Pirates. I'VE don't like
to be down there, but until we can
find some better ball players, we
will do the best we can to give
the fans a good brand of baseball" -
Kite said.
