evening, driving in one run, scor-
ing n and knocking out a single
in three trips to the plate.
Sanford and their very best rigat-
handler, George Bortz, combined
forces to lick the Selma-Smithfield
Leafs II. Bortz gave five hits to
the Leafs and struck out IA. It was
his fourth straight victory without
a single loss this season.
The Leafs took the initiative in
scoring, getting one run in the first.
Howard walked, Becker singled,
and Kukulka drove a deep fly to
center, Howard scoring. But that
was all for the Leafs.
Sanford retaliated in their half
of the first with two tallies. Shoff-
ner walked, skidded into second
on a wild pitch and came home
when big Hank Nesselrode singled
him in. Messing reached safe terri
tory on an error, and Pugh popped
a base hit to let Nesselrode cross
the bag.

The Brotherhood, Boswell holding

In the fourth stanza, Spofford
broke loose with four tallies,
shifted their noses, and settled
back peacefully. Score: 70.
Unruffled, the Brotherhood add

error and Lawrence Cook won his
ball game by slamming out a
home run down the left field line.

Garrett said ae used an extra

at the pier was to pull in a shark,

Avant has undergone much med

idea for the benefit came strictly
from the Wolfpack players.
The team also has another stake
in the game. They want revenge
on the Springers, who won a 3 2
decision over them last week on
the Red Springs diamond. It will
be the last contest on the Packs
regular slate, so one may be sure
that they will be using everything
in the books to capture their 18th
win. They won number 16 last

who was the loser in last
