Wilmington Legion Club
Dunks Red Springs, II

Coach Tom Davis improving Will
mington American Legion team
spotted Red Springs three runs
before putting on a scorching sew
en-run rally yesterday afternoon
at Legion stadium to blast the
previously unbeaten visitors, IA.
The victory was the second straight
against two defeats for Whining
tons entry.
Charlie Smith, a left-hander and
a sophomore in high school, be-
came the first Legion pitcher from
Wilmington to- go the route in yes
terday's contest. Despite the three
runs in the first three frames
Southpaw Smith twirled scoreless
ball for the next five innings until
the Red Springs outfit touched his
offerings for one tally in the ninth.
Smith allowed seven hits, struck
out four, and walked four.
Jere Hilburn, who was put in
right field for the first time by
Davis and also raised to second
spot in the Wilmington batting
lineup, responded by smashing a
double and a single in five trips
to the plate. The lanky Winter
Park boy also batted across a run
and stole two bases. Leading the
Wilmington hitters were two ex-
Junior league stars, Billy Smith
and Jimmy Stoudenmire, both OF
whom got two for four. jackson
paced Red Springs with the stick
with two for three.
Eugene Smith, who Is filling the
big shoes of j. c. Price, continued
his remarkable work at the plate
by battering out two for five, keep
ing his batting average far above
the charmed .400$ circle.
Coach Tom Davis, mighty proud
of the way his charges have snap
ped out of their early losing streak,
announced following the game that
on Wednesday the Wilmington
team journeys to Laurinburg and
that on Friday night it returns to
Legion stadium for a return test
against the Laurinburg Legion
naireS.

Cubs Still Red Hot,
Defeat Clinton, 9-8
Spinners Top Smithfield; Droop'
ing Red Sox Lose Again To
Twins, Ga

Bob Pugh, who knocked several
balls over the right field fence at
Legion stadium last season, re-
turned to the Sanford lineup in
brilliant style last night. He bang
ed out two hits for four tries, n
of which was a triple. Wilson and
Messing also garnered two for four
to tie Pugh for individual hitting
honors for the victors. Kukulka's
two for four led Smithfield Selma.
Marion, a reserve catcher for
the st. Louis Cardinals before the
war, tried twice to hit last night,
but failed both times. Eames went
in for the hefty maskman and
banged out one bingle in two ap-
pearances. Narron's bad leg ap-
parently affected his hitting.
Dunn-Erwin's advancing Twins
mashed Warsaw, GA, in the only
other Tobacco Loop clash. The
count hight have been even higher
if it had not been for Warsaw
outfielder Scrobola's beautiful
throwing. Once the center meadow
man tossed out a Dunn-ErWln
lease" at home plate and then he
unfurled a strike. to catch another
speed merchant of the Twins at
third base.
Shamrock Genning, Twin receiv-
err, figured in the winning u OF
the tilt. He walked in the sixth,
went to second on Leach's ground
er, and pranced across paydirt on
Phillips sharp single. One more
marker made things even more
! comfortable for Dunn-Erwin in
the ninth. Jackson starred in that
score making by 'slamming in
| Williams.
Williams of Dunn-Erwin did a
fine job on the mound for the win
ners. He allowed only three hits
after the first inning in which
Warsaw scored two of their four
| runs.
