ped by Dunn-Erwin in a 5-4 1O-inn-
ing affair.
Bound in the cellar since the
opening gun, the Red Springs Rob-
ms crept to within 5h contests Of
Selma-Smithfield in a battle Of
the lovely in Robins field. They
smacked out II hits to drop the
Leafs 11-2. The Sanford Spinners
crushed the Clinton Blues 90 at
Sanford.
Charley Jamin, Lumberton left
fielder, pointed up the reason why
he'll be lounging in one of the
pasture posts when the Tobacco
State All-Stars play at Sanford to-
night by whacking out a two-run
single in the eighth inning to pro-
vide the Cubs with a SO margin
over the Warsaw Red Sox. .
One of five Lumbecton players
holding first-team berths on the
All-Star outfit, Jamin also drove
in another of the Cubs markers
in the sixth inning to knot the
score at two-all. Shelton SANKEY'S
third frame homer accounted TO-
the other Lumberton tally.
Other Cub players starting in
tonight's classic will be Jerry
Cabaniss, second base, Elzer
(Slats) Marx, first base, Elzer
EFT, catcher, and Wally PearsaI, q.
center field. BOB Spicer, the Cubs
star Highlander, will probably
also see action tonight.
Another All-star performer,
Pete Howard of Selma-Smithfleld,
collected two of his teams five
hits as the Leafs were slaughtered
by the resurgent Red Springs
Robins, 11-2. Howard is expected
to start at shortstop against San
ford. He'll be the only Leaf rep.

Behind 10 at the end of the sec

in every frame from there out to
roll up another impressive VIC

Clinton. Bobby Keane pitched his
fourth straight victory, managing
to space the Blues IL hits with
out much damage. Sanford clout-

Govern Wright, another All-Sta-,

Joe Messing, Spin third base
man, stole five bases, hit four
singles in five times at the plate,
and scored two runs to share the

10th of the season, in the fourth
inning with one on base.
Hoyt Clegg is expected to start
against the Stars tonight in the
Spinner city. He boasts an 11-3
