W0LFPACK DEFEAT
HALLSBOR0, 4-3'
Williams Stars For White
vile As Columbus Club
Wins Fourth Straight
Special tn The Star

WHITEVILLE, April 2. - Earl
Brinkley's Whiteville Wolfpack won
their fourth straight game this sea-
son without a defeat by. downing
the Hallsboro Tigers, 4 to 2, at
Hallsboro Tuesday afternoon.
Brinkley pulled the old April fool
on the Tigs by starting Rudolph
Williams, Is year old freshman, in
stead of his ace, Dan Williams,
whom everyone had expected to 60.
The youngster responded by
pitching a beautiful six hitter to
give the Hallsboro team its first
Columbus defeat in two years. He
kept the Tigs' blows well spaced
with both of their runs being un-
earned.
Bob Stanley, Hallsboro right
handler, allowed only five hits, but
the Pack punched them we'll with
Rome Anderson and Bill Ellis con-
tributing triples. Don Taylor OF
Whiteville and Sealey Of the Tigers
led the attack of their teams with
two for three each. Billy Horton,
Pack k%eystoner, was the outstand-
ing defensive player handling
seven chances without a miscue.
The Wolfpack will travel to Fair
Bluff on Friday to tangle with the
Red Caps of Fair Bluff High school
at 3 o'clock.

Many, many long years ago, we played a little base
bail with a fellow named Johnny Wallace. We were not
so gooo at the game, neither was Johnny, but we had
a lot OF fun trying -. Our baseball playing days are
just about over, so is Johnny's But the lkeable
chap refuses to give up his interest in the game. neither
90 we want to lose interest in the national pastime.
Yesterday we had a long chat with Johnny, as you
PROBABLY know he is managing the Seagate baseball
team of the Cape Fear League this season. JOHNNY
won't tell us how good his team is. He Just smiles and
says, 1--WE will get along alright in the league" Even
II ne does not produce a championship team at Seagate,
Johnny is doing the community a lot of good. He is
taking a lot OF interest in his boys.
Inc residents OF Seagate are truly lovers of base
ball. Every kid in the neighborhood has either a fish
ing pole or a baseball bal. in his hands as soon as he is
big enough to walk.
1t costs money to operate a club in the fast semi
pro Cape Fear League and the residents of Seagate have
rallied to aid in the cause. They have constructed a
baseball field that ranks with the best in the county and
now IN order to raise funds to purchase uniforms, bats,
balls and other equipment an oyster roast, open to the
public, will be held On April Is at Browns Service Sta
ton on the old Wrightsville Beach highway.
Johnny did not know I was going to write this lit
tie article, if he had he probably would have not talked
so freely as he did. But he was so enthusiastic over
the project to raise funds to equip his team that he went
into full details to explain how, what, when, where and
etc. about the oyster roast. "Boy, are we going to
have some surprises for the people that %attend,' he
%quipped. 1t would not be fair to Johnny to tell you
ali his plans, but we can add that we wouldn't miss it
for the world. In fact Johnny has invited yours truly
to make a speech at the affair. "Only five minutes"
he requested and then he said that City Manager
Jimmy Benson has accepted an invitation to speak at
the gathering. Others will be invited to say a few
words including Ben Macdonald, star-News round-the-
town radio commentator We sure hope everyone
shows up and makes their talk first. For we are a
lot better "eater" than we are talker.
The speeches will be short, the food good and the
proceeds will be used to help the ball team. I can hard
ly wait to get the full dope on the surprise angle, but
you will like it, I am sure -. See you at Seagate, April
9th.
