Hanover Highlights
By GENE WARREN

Babe Ruth's all-time output Of
60 roundtrippers. But now
"Thumping" Theodore has
slowed down TO = walk, hitting
only three four-baggers in over
two weeks. Therefore, the Babe
can rest assured that his feat
will not be tied or broken this
season.
The Wilmington American
Legion Juniors, fourth best
team of seventeen year olds in
North Carolina, will wind-up
their schedule against Lexing-
ton at Legion stadium, tonight
at 8 pm. Even during the Red
Springs affray, the youngsters
we're supported in a very feeble
fashion by local fans. Tonight,
they bow out of the baseball
picture. Why not 90 out and
watch them play?
,
The "Dizzy" Dean incident
may be worrying Hal Newhou-
ser, top pitcher in the majors.
Hal had won 20 games and lost
only three before Sunday. The
lanky southpaw hurt his flip
ping arm several days ago, and
Sunday was the first time he
tested it. The Boston Red Sox
blasted Hal all over the park,
Bobby Doerr getting two home
runs. Dean, great Cardinal ace
during the last decade ALSO
suffered from this same type
of .ilment, and lost so much
effectiveness, he retired from
the game. Newhouser's chan
ces Of doing the same are, of
course, slim, but the sport
world will be watching De-
troit's great pitcher.
When the Wilmington Pirates
lost = doubleheader to San
ford last week, they put an end
to q brilliant winning streak
that included II victories in IA
games. What most people did
not realize was that Sanford
was having q string of wins at
the time also, and ii was =
question Of which streak would
be halted. The double triumph
gave the Spinners a record Of
IA victories in II contests.

Football practice may keep
Davis from making the trip, but
Wolfe said, I'm putting him down
anyway"
Transportation for the Firemen
has not been decided upon yet.
Wolfe was planning to use auto
mobiles at first, but that plan was
ended when not enough cars could
be obtained. Now, The Smokeater's
manager is considering a charter
ed bus.
Asked when the club was leav-
ing, Wolfe explained, Smith Bar.
rier, North Carolina softball secre-
tary, has not informed US as &c
date to start the trip. We must
have that Information, before be-
;ng released from duty"
The official schedule for the
tourney stated that the first game
will start. August IA. Wolfe dis
closed, however, that the Firemen
drew a bye in the first round, per-
hitting them to arrive a day later.
Meanwhile, the Firemen will be
keeping in trim by playing regular

VERNON RECAINS
BATTING TITLE
Ted Williams Falls Behind
Washington Slugger In
American League

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-F-James
Mickey Vernon, Washington Sen
ator's first baseman, has come UP
with a .375 average for the third
successive week for a six-point
lead over Boston's Ted Williams in
the American league hitting race.
Consistent Vernon collected IL
hits in So trips last week to keep
his average unchanged, while Will
liams banged only four blows in 16
appearances to slip four points to
1851.
Two of Ted's hits, however, were
homers to keep him at the head Of
the four-bagger parade with 20.
Remainder of the leagues top
10 hitters fluctuated considerably
through Sundays games. Johnny
Pesky Of Boston climbed from fifth
to third place with a four-point rise
to 1927. Tank Edwards of Cleve-
land, slumping 10 points to .318,
dropped from third to fifth behind
Detroit's George Kell, who made
16 points from eighth to third with
1923.
Luke Appling of Chicago and
Boston's Dom Di Maggie, the lat
ter dropping eight points from
fourth spot, were tied for sixth at
.316. Two St. Louis stars, Johnny
Berardino and Vern Stephens, shar.
ed eighth place with .307, while
Boston's Bobby Doerr rounded out
the top ten with 1906
Williams, who was not in uni
form Sunday for the first time this
season because of illness, continued
to lead in runs batted in with 81
and runs with los.
Other specialized p~ace-setters
also remained unchanged with
George Case Of Cleveland tops in
stolen bases with %; Vernon lead
ing in two baggers with IS; Pesky
ahead in hits with 40; and Ed
wards and Johnny Lewis of Wash
ington sharing the lead in triples
with 10 each.
Despite his fourth defeat, South
paw Hal Newhouser Of Detroit, a
2O-game winner, continued to mace
the pitching department. Bobby
Teller Of Cleveland added 16
strike-out victims to boost his total
to 246. Teller strained his back
against New York Sunday, but not
seriously enough to deter his march
after RUDE Wasdeu's 1904 season
record Of 347 strike-outs.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-08-06

There have been several short
second basemen this season for
the Pirates. Counting them cut,
there were zazzaro, Sheriff.
Strickland, Harrison, and now
VI. S. McKeithan, Norman o.
Sc, and last but by no means
leastJoe Gregory. From the
pressbox At Legion Stadium,
Gregory looks like the shortest
man In the Tobacco State lea
que. He uses his size to good
advantage though, getting .
large share Of walks. Three
such free passes accounted for
two necessary runs in Whining
toms 6 to 4 victory over Gin
ton, Saturday night.
Doug Seasons, the local
youngster who Is speedily re-
covering from 4 collapsed lung,
really is q studious baseball
fan-even in the sick bed. He
follows his major league idol,
Phil Cavarretta, with superb
interest, keeping = sufficient
account Of the Cub outfielder's
batting average In steadfast
regularity. Wilmington's ad-
miraAion for this stout-hearted
youth Is being expressed by =
constant flow Of letters to Doug
at his home, ITO South Ninth
street.
Young Paul Smith, the cen
ter fielder and leading batter
Of Wilmington, Is doing a swell
job making mp for the loss Of
fleet Bob Skinner, who decided
not to report to the Pirates,
following his marriage. Paul
has made innumerable catches
OF extra-base tagged balls, and
Is also smuggling 1t a 1897 aver
age. Most Buc fans will agree
this Is year old lad Is going
places in the National pastime.
Ted Williams, currently &C
knowledged as "the greatest
hitter In modern baseball" was
blasting out home runs NJ an
Incompatible rate, following
the AIl-Star game in Boston.

Invitations have been sent TO
various Yacht Clubs in North Caro-
lima, Virginia, South Carolina, and
Georgia. Included among the many
clubs expected to send their most
formidable crafts are the: Eliza
beth City Yacht Club, Morehead
City Yacht Club, Hampton Rhodes
Wa..) Yacht Club, Norfolk (Va.)
Yacht Club, Charleston (S.C.1
Yacht Club, Carolina Yacht Char
lesion, S. c. Mt. Pleasant {S.C.)
Yacht Club, Citadel S.C.) Yacht
Club, Rockville CS.C.) Yacht Club,
Beaufort (S.C.) Yacht Club, and
the Savannah (Ga.) Yacht Club.
Many Of the above named Yacht
Clubs have written and sent rep
.resentatives to the local club ask
ing for the resumption Of the
famous pre-war regattas, thereby
assuring Wrightsville sailors OF
plenty of competition this year.
The three day affair will be run
on the same basis as the ones in
previous years. 1t will feature
eleven separate classes, and the
vessel having accumulated the
greatest number of points in each
class - n point for each boat
defeated in each race-at the end
of the three days Of conflict will be
feted at a large banquet and
awarded the class trophy.
At such an early date i: is i'm
possible to estimate the number
OF barks that will be entered in
the race, but it seems tc be a
belief that no less than
thirty = five entries - and possibly
many more-wil be found milling
around the line for the initial start
ing guns on the twenty-second of
the month. Yacht Club officials
pointed out that any local shippers
wishing to participate should get
in touch with Jimmy Lyell, Jr., 200
N. Second Street; or contact the
Carolina Yacht Club at Wrights-
vile Beach. All prospective entries
are urged to LOG in" as soon as
possible to avoid last-minute con-
fusion.
