EASTERN
GAMES SUNDAY
BY JIGGs POWERS

A full slate is on tap in the
Eastern State League during The
weekend, with Elizabethtown at
Bladenboro, M a o b at
Wallace, and Whiteville at South
port.
The all-Bladen battle between
the Red Sox of Elizabethtown and
Bladenboro Spinners was original
ly booked for this afternoon but
has been moved up to Thursday,
May 20 at $3.50 p. m. The fu
always hys when these two arch
rivals meet. This battle is expect.
ed to be no exception. The Spin
ners hold one decision ever the
invading Sox. and the latter is
really seeking revenge. Manager
H. B. Hargrove will probably start
Lefty Bledsoe for the Spins, while
Manager E. D. Duncans' choice to
toe the rubber is most likely to
be Rudy Brit.
Masonboro's high-flying Ram
blers will find no push-over in
Wallace's Berry Pickers If the
Duplin pitching staff is in the
mood, Manager Dob Hursey has
had some trouble with an on-and-
off hurting corps all season, but
with the addition of W.
A. 'Weenie" Brown, some of his
ailments are expected to be
relieved. Brown may start against
his former Rambler teammates
Sunday. Frank Manner, skipper OF
the Masonboro outfit, may start
Tracy Duval or Hunker Benson in
quest Of his 5th loop win, or it
is rumored he has a new pitcher
to throw at Wallace.
Whiteville Comets will be seek
ing revenge for a 10 shusout pin
ned on them three weeks ago by
Southports Jack Hughes. The
Comets collected only one hit off
the Yellow Jacket righthander,
and are expected to 60 all out for
a win in Sundays fracas. D a We
Nelson, loser of the other battle
to Hughs, has asked for another
chance in this game, Manager
Earl Brinkley is expected to give
him the nod. All Sunday games
start at 3 p. m.
Only two games were played
within the loop last week, Mason
boro journeyed to E~lizabethtown
where they downed the Red Sox,
1926, for their 4th win without de-
feat. Tracy Duval pitched the win
for the Manermen, while big Lyn
Rowan had a field day at bat with
two triples and two singles IN five
trips. Bladenboro Spinners hard
luck continued to run its course
as they dropped an IL to 10 battle
- the Southport Yellow Jackets.

ton. At second is the only new
conner to the veteran Green Wave
infield, Bobby Davis. According 10
reports here Davis can be counted
as a rookie in years, but stands
heads and shoulders above most
Of the Gastonia players in hitting.
In fact, he is the visitors cleanup
batter. Ray Brooks can't be beaten
at shortstop. And in Doc Queen at
third base the invaders have the
clsssiest hot corner man in the
state.
The remainde. Of the Gsstonia
lineup is nothing TO be laughed at,
even though their infield holds
the spotlight. The meadow trio OF
Russ Wilson. Bill Rowland, and
Bob Purkey is good enough for any
coach. Toss c. l.. Runyan behind
the plate and Bill Uren On the
mound and Gastonia can take on
any high school team in the coun:
try. The boys are that good. This
was proven just recently. when a
Detroit Tiger ivory hunter spotted
Queen and showed a contract in bis
face.
The Gastonia team arrived in
Wilmington early yesterday after
noon and took the kinks out of their
systems by running through a
brisk workout at 18th and Ann
park along with the Wildcats.
Coach Jimmy Powell is planning a
full weekend for bis crew. Satur-
day night and Sunday will find
the Green Wave waving through

pack up for the long journey home.

Pack Loses
BY JIGGS POWERS

LUMBERTON, March & (P)-
Whiteville's cage teams closed
their 1946-47 season here Monday
night by dropping a doubleheader
to Lumberton Highs teams, the
Wolflets losing to the Lady BUGS
by a 2O-15 score, while the hap
less Wolfpack was completely
trampled by the powerful Pirates.
55-21.
In another Of their typical Wolf
let-Lady Buc battles, it was just
a case of too much Bonnie Brown
Ashe as the brilliant forward
closed her regular high school
career by tallying 16 points, hit
ting from every angle. She was
aided considerably by another
finalist, Peggy Hardie, who played
a fine floor game. Rachel Sar-
baught was again the defensive
star Of the BUGS. For the Column
bus county champion Wolflets the
offensive leader was Mary Kate
Sibbett with eight points. Peggy
Inman, playing her last game for
WIS displayed a fine passing
game, constantly feeding the ball
to the other forwards for score
Captain Ida Jane Fore, along with
Jean Claire Jones and Helen
Hooks, played bang-up defensive
ball. Foe is a senior.
The outcome Of the Pack-Pirate
battle was never in doubt after
guard Charlie Kinlaw sank a long
set shot in less than half a minute
after the opening gun. Kinlaw
rang up 25 points to be high for
the night. Lumberton's other
Charlie, Captain Underwood, was
the defense standout. For the
Pack Captain Don Taylor closed
his high school days by leading
his team with six points. Charles
Lennon. another senior. had five.
Joe Inman and Billy Davis were
best on defense.

To Visit Boston Braves
Class B Training
Camp Soon

Skipper Nate Andrews, just back
from an ivory joint to Georgia,
embarks for D~ennisville, N. c.
sometime this month to acquire
additional pitchers and few
other players for the 1947 Whining
ton Pirate baseball team, L. M.
Pollock, club owner, announced
yesterday.
Dennisville is q spring training
camp of the Boston Red Sox
Class B squad, and Andrews, who
pitched most of his major league
career for the Boston Braves, is
well known by officials there and
expects to be first in line as far
as the signing Of talented players
is concerned.
With ALREADY a catcher, first
baseman, second baseman, Short
stop, and outfielder reported sign
ed, Manager Andrews chief reas-
on for the trip is to acquire a few
more good pitchers. Skipper Ma
than is especially looking for a
couple of good left-handers since
Wilmington did>not have a single
capable southpaw during the 1916
campaign. .
Wilmington Pirates OF the 1916
club signed or expected to be
signed are Johnny Edens, Har-
grove Davis, Larry DiOrio, Roy
Lamb, Jim Station, Hargrove Da
Wis, and Jim Gregory. OF these
the only player almost certain of
a regular job is, Johnny Edens,
who slapped the horsehide around
for a neat $3.50 batting average
during the latter part of the '46
campaign. Just how good the
rockies are Andrews has signed,
will have important bearing on
whether the others will play first
