CHICAGO, June 10 -(RHThe
Brooklyn Dodgers came from be-

Cubs, SO, today to pull to within
a half game of the third place
Bruins.
Rookie catcher Gil Hodges
drove in what proved to be the
winning run by smashing his first
major league homer in the sew

The Cubs had moved out in

Brooklyn came back with a run

O'Clock with Winter Park col
liding with Seagate and Pepsi

the Masonboro Clamdiggers.
The first tussle between Winter

Jack Allen is the likely choice
of Seagate against the hard-hit-
ting Rangers. Johnny Wallace,
Jr.. may also be used if Allen
should falter. Frank Hines, pilot
of Winter Park, is expected to
toss Dunk Futrelle on the
mound for the Rangers with
veteran Norwood Skipper in e
serve.
In the other encounter Bob
Edwards, ex-North Carolina
State twirler, will pitch for
Masonboro against the Pepsi

Soda club, currently tied for
first place in the Cape Fear

League last night by smothering
the league-leading Spofford Mills
nine, III, in the first game of a
twinbill at Robert Strange park.
The Atlantic Coast Line upset
City Optical. 1913, in an thinning
contest.
The curtain raiser was marred
by the reported language used
by several Spofford Mills ball
players in arguments with Um-
pire Aubrey Wallace.
Several of the fans criticized
the actions of a certain Spofford
infielde-, who lost his temper
time after time and threatened
umpire Wallace, telling his fell
low teammates at times to: "beat
Wallace's face in."
Alpha Omega, bolstered by such
new players as j. c. Price and Paul
Horton, trampled Spofford with
ease. With Clyde Jordan pitching
five-hit ball and Bob Boyd Slam
