Wilmington's pennant winning
baseball team in the Virginia.
Carolina league about As years
ago yesterday was offered as a
pattern for this city's cellar cling
ing Buccaneers of the Tobacco
State League.
Henry B. Peschau, of Mason
boro Sound, who managed the
Wilmington nine when the Vlr-
ginia-Carolina teams played top
notch professional baseball at
Hilton Park, exclaimed:
'The kind of baseball that
Wilmington outfit in the VIC
league played has gone for
ever. 1t would be hard to find
any ball team, even in the Ma
tional or American leagues of
today, having such players as
we had about As years ago
when Wilmington won the pen
nant."
Frank S. Shepard, Sr., 308 South
Sixteenth street, started the elder
soortsmen of Wilmington remin-
iscing yesterday, when he asked:
who remembers Seaside
Park and where was it located?"
His question brought no answer,

Seaside Park
seaside Park, which was
used by Wilmington's first pro-
fessional team was located
this side of Oakdale ceme-
terry, in a section now known
as Loves Grove, out beyond

Shepard said his memory wa
rather hazy over the names oil the
team members, but he did recall
that Robert Gwaltney and Charles
Taylor, ST., the latter the late
president of the Wilmington Sew
ings and Trust company: were
among the city's first profession

CHAMPIONSHIP
GAMES MAY BE
PLAYED HERE
Tobacco State And Coastal
League Teams May Play
For Championship

J.. f. L. Wade, president of the
Tobacco State League and the fore
most encourager of baseball in
Southeastern North Carolina, has
issued a challenge to the Coastal
Plain circuits president, Ray
Goodmon, for the winners of both
Class ID" loops to play a cham
pionship series, following the sea-
sons end, September 2.
This proposal carries Whining
ton fans back to last summer,
when Wade first announced his In
tentions to present a club from
this district, if a league was or
gained in New Hanover county, to
battle the Coastal Plains winner.
Wade's announcement was not
considered seriously by local fans
then, but now it has blossomed In
to reality.
If such a series is approved by
the board of directors OF each
league, Wade suggested that VIII
mington's Legion stadium be the
neutral diamond for a playoff in
case of a tie in the seven games
series.
Wilmington's diamond was prob
ably named, because of the record
shattering crowds, which jam the
park at each Pirate home game.
The near beaches would also pro-
vide excellent recreation for the
players during their hours away
from the stadium.
If this plan goes through, it will
be the first time that Wilmington
has been selected as a site for
championship playoffs in organized
baseball.
