CHESHIRE HANDCUFFS SPINNERS BY 11-3
BUGS JOURNEY
TO DUNN-ERWIN
FOR TILT TODAY

The high-rjding Sanford Spinners
ran into Lefty Cheshire when the
Wilmington Pirate was having a
good night last night at Legion
Stadium and the BUGS trounced
the league leader 11-3 before a
healthy-size Saturday night crowd,
Cheshire famed six and had a
shutout going into the seventh when
he eased up and permitted the
Spins to score once. Sanford pick
ed up a pair of run in the eighth
for their total efforts for the night.
The BUGS opened up in the first,
when with two out Eddie Haridsky
singled to center, and came home
on the first of Harry Bridges
three hits, a triple off the left
center field wall.
In the fourth, the Corsairs ross
up again. Bridges opened with
a double to center. Hoggy Davis
singled. and Bridges held up at
third. Bob Steckel tripled to deep
left center for two tallies. and came
home when Cheshire singled, but
was out going into second.
In the fifth Billy Benton and
Bridges combined singles for
another run, and an inning later
Jim Staten threw in his quarters
worth. Larry DiOrio, who ended
the game with a spectacular catch
in deep left off the bat of Wilson.
walked to start things off. Staten
doubled, and Cheshire reached on
a fielders choice. Fred Muscemecl
then singled to score Staten.
Cheshire was the big gun in the
Buc attack in the seventh, after
Watson had relieved Jim House
for the Spins. Bridges walked. and
was safe on a boot by Pugh
in left field. DiOrio reached on an
error. but was caught off base by
a perfect snap throw from Hedrick.
Steckel then strolled to load EN-
up again, Cheshire decided a hit
was due. and tripled for three runs
and iced the game.
Bobby keane was heaved out OF
the tilt in the eighth when after
Cheshire threw three balls at him,
the Buc southpaw burned three
strikes past him. Keane didn't
think the third one was over, but
he took a shower to think it over,
skipper Zeb Harrington came
in at short.
The BUGS travel to Dunn-ErWln
tomorrow for a game with the
and return here Monday
NIGHT with the same club.

ment in Ingram's alleys, with Joe

closing stages of the duck pin der
by.
Newman held a high set of 1882.
In the doubles events, Jim

ex-Rambler hurler, and a tight

Probable opponent for Brown to-
day will be Snag Allen, ace of the

Wilson Meters Invade Wilmington
Local Racqueteers
Seek First Victory
Ladies Fauorites

Wilmington's meters. 60 into ac-
ton today at Robert Strange, seek.
ing revenge on a strong Wilson
team that overpowered the Port
City squad in the opening Eastern
Carolina Tennis association battle
two weeks ago today in Wilson.
The locals have dropped tits
to Goldsboro and Raleigh since
their first loss, but each clash has
given indication of improvement
within the ranks of Wilnington's
team, and the girls division has
won the respect Of the entire league
with smashing triumphs in each
event.
Today Bob Andrews, who scored
a brilliant upset win in his last
outing against Raleigh will be in
the No. l slot again and will prob
ably face B. B. Plyler, Jr.. ex-
Davidson net ace, who defeated
Les Boney of Wilmington in their
first meeting.
Boney, in turn, will probably
clash with Jim Dempsey, who de-
feated Andrews in the Wilson con
test. Dempsey is a former Oar
lington star METER, who gave a
good account of himself during last
years bitter season when Wilson
finished in the ECTA basement.
Other Wilmington players who
will probably see action in the sin
giles event are Bob Getty, Horace
Emerson, Dick Hewlett, and Ar.
chic Fountain. Revs. Walter Freed
and Mortimer Glover may don ten
mis- garb for play in doubles events,
and Jimmy Sloan, Gene Fonvielle
and M V. Barnhill, are also slated
to be around to add points to
Wilmington's total score.
Ranking third for Wilson will be
Aaron Russell. Behind Russell
comes in order, Dick Brooks,
George Flowers, and Nebane Lea.
The powerful Port City femmes
will be ready to 60 today, after
a rest Wednesday when Morehead
City male squad forfeited to Will
mington. Mary Johnson, top star
in the gals division will be out to
avenge her defeat at the hands OF
Raleigh's best last Saturday when
Miss johnson was the only Will
mington gal who failed to come up
with a win.
Number two, Mary Bland will
probably clash head-on with Linda
Thomas, captain of the Wilson Ia
dies. Miss Bland and Miss John
son will team for the number one
doubles pair and will be heavily
favored to defeat any combination
can produce.
Mrs. Jean Tillett, Joy Nets, and
the two MINIS stars, Colleen Gam
and Nancy Brown, make up the
balance of the womens' division
is expected to click again
for another Wilmington victory.
The big question is in the ranks
Of the men.

field youthful teams beginning
early June, Mary Johnson,
vice-president of the Whining

reached on whether to re-
schedule the contest or not.
1t was disclosed here that
Camp Lejeune Marines had
asked permission to play with
the Wilmington club, but were
