first 10 to gain a six-up lead.
Chapman and Stranahan, taking
turns putting erratically, took a 70
on their first tour and never had
a hope Of catching their steady
rivals in the afternoon.
Though disappointed At his
teams failure to win more than
ar even break in today's novel
play, in which members OF each
side took turns swatting a single
ball, non-playing captain Francis
Ouimet announced he would stick
with the same eight players in the
singles tomorrow rather than sub
stitute George Hamer, ninth
member of his squad, for one of
those who played indifferently to-
day.
He picked Ward, veterans of the
SO American team, to. tee off a.
gainst Crawley in the opening sim
giles match, confident that the
Spokane, Wash, star would not
have two bad days in a row.
Capt. John Beck Of the British
side chose to bring up fresh
troops, substituting G. M.
Micklem, London stock broker,
for Kyle in the decisive matches.
II always thought it was a good
even bet, and there's still not
much in it either way" he COM
mented genially as he announced
his single. list.
Final days pairings will pit
Ward VS.. Crawley. Bishop VS..
Carr, Regal VS.. Micklem, Turne-
sa vs. Ewing, Chapman VS.. Lucas,
Stranahan VS.. Stowe, Hammer VS..
White, and Quick VS.. Wilson, IN
that order.
Although they got their Jumps
in today's team play, Chapman
and Stranahan gave strong indlca'
ton in the afternoon that they
would be hot and ready for the
next tussle. Their IS going out the
second time was the only under
par score of the DAY, and they
were even fcurs for Is holes when
they were shut out.

relief roles.
Williams eighth circuit drive Of
the year and his first four run
homer of the season, landed 4
dozen rows up in the right field
wing of the grand stand, about
$50 feet from the plate.
Dorish, who has appeared in 10
games in relief roles, tired near
the end of the game when the
Brownies got all their runs Paul

homer, a three run affair, in the

Erratic Pirates Swept
off Feet By Smithfield
Corsairs Garry On Without Nate Andrews;
.Poklemba Absent From Lineup;
Play Sox Here Tonight

Smithfield-Selma's Leafs sliced
their two-geme series with the Will
mington Pirates into halves last
night under the arcs of Legion
Stadium by sweeping an cratic
Buc ball club off its feet to the
tune of 90.
Without Manager Nathan An
drews and Andy Poklemba, the
locals fell apart in the second in
ming and played l~istless ball for
the remainder of the tilt. War
saws loss to Sanford kept Will
mington in a tie for second place,
however.
Johnny Edens, who directed the
Pirates from the bench last night,
put Fred Gainey on the slab at
the third as the Leafs punched out
game time, but had to jerk him in
six hits for four runs off his offer
ings. AL Lento, the pint-sized south
paw, relieved Carney and went the
rest of the way, giving up six
bingles, whiting five, and passing
four.
Clint Benson. Smithfield flipper,
looked worried only once. That
was in the last half of the second,
when Harry Bridges of Wilmington
passed n of his fast balls ur
against the rig%at-center field fence,
approximately 1856 feet from home
plate. Whatever wrinkles on his
forehead vanished though as the
next three Wilmington batters
went down in order.
The decisive stanza of the game
was the second in which the visit
ors hung four tallies on the core
board. Ed Kukulka, the Smith

RAMBLERS FACE

Jackets Play Bladenboro
In E astern State
Game Today
BY JIGGs POWERS

Two games are booked in the
Eastern State League for the com
ing weekend; with Southport Vel
low Jackets travelling to Baden
boro where they will meet the en-
try from the Bladen textile center
today at $3.50 pm, while Sundays
only contest will see the league
leading Masonboro Ramblers meet
ing Elizabethtown's Red Sox on the
l~atter's diamond at 3 o'clock.
Jack Hughs will, no doubt, start
for the Jackets against the Spin
ner's Levy Bridger or Lefty"
Bledsoe. Southport will be rated
as having an wen chance in this
anne because they licked the
Whiteville Comets, 10, in Of
the best games of the year; while
the Comets downed Bladenboro, 4-3,
in 10 innings several weeks ago.
However, the Spinners will be hard
to take, since they have dropped
their last three games in a row.
and are expected to be on the war
path come Saturday.
Masonboro's las. years champs
are expected to have little difficult
ty in taking their fourth straight
win on their march to a second
crown. but the Sox Of Elizabeth
town have played some creditable
ball and may have to be reckoned
with before the season is over.
Frank Manner will likely start his
ace, Snag Allen, on the firing line.
Either Rudolph Britt or Fred
Townsend is expected to go for the
Red Sox.
Whiteville's Comets are play
ing an exhibition contest in the
Columbus county seat, Sunday,
meeting the Wagram Au-Stars at
3 pm. Little is known of the in
vaders' strength, except that their
record is five wins without a loss.
This is the same team that licked
Maner's Ramblers last season in
Wilmington's Legion Stadium.
Masonboro took over undisputed
ownership of the first rung in the
ESL ladder last Sunday when they
invaded Whiteville and took the
Comets by a AZ count. Hunker Ben
son won a pitching duel from
Whiteville's H. D. Stanley, who
lost his first battle after 3 wins.
Benson gave four hits, Stanley six.
Harold Horton hit a home run in
the fourth for Masonboro. Burney
Covington led Masonboro e for a
Bill HARRISON was best for the
losers Il for 81.
Down in Southport. they had
quite a ball game until the regula-
ton nine innings ran out; but
came the 10th and Wallace fell on
the Jackets Jack Hughs for seven
runs, coming out on the long end
of a 1871 core.

aggregation today on the Robert

take place on the asphalt at Green

Although the male side of Will
mington tennis has proven slightly
shaky, having dropped singles
matches to both Wilson and Colds

today's matches, and should look
vastly better.
Thad Watts, club president, said
yesterday that Were facing one

High confidence is being placed
in the ladies, however. Raleigh
