After giving up one tally in the
opening frame on a walk and a
single, Hewlett toyed with Kinston
batters for the rest Of the game,
while his mates pounded Eagle
twirlers Pate and Dennis for nine
safeties. Sloppy Kinston fielding
aided the Pirates, as they rolled
up ten runs.
The BUGS opened their half Of

singled to center with two out. The
speedy Pirate shortstop promptly
stole second, and scored when
Harry Bridges blasted the first Of

Known in international sports
circles for his activity in champ
ionship tennis, Pate was directly
responsible for the return of the
Davis Cup. to America last year,
when he selected Ted Schroeder
over Frank Parker to pair with
Jack Kramer in the United States
1916 bid for the cup.
Melbourne, Australia papers
gleefully hailed the announcement
declaring that the 12-year vet
eran team captain had made his
first major error, and then
Schroeder went on to steal the
show, and the Americans blasted
the Australians in a clean sweep.
Pate also c%aptained the team
that returned the famed trophy
to the United States in 1887, after
England had won it from France.
Acclaimed as a master of de-
tail and a top analyst in the net
world, Pate has also engineered
the first movement to standardize
tennis equipment throughout the
world. He built his 1887 winner
around Don Bulge, (Who is his
f~avtorite candidate for the top
player of the, century,, and Sc
lected Schroeder as his team nue.
leus in his 1916 victory. Pate
accepted the acclaim his choice
of Schroeder brought him with his
usual calm.
Pate has played against most
of the net champions during his
career in tennis circle, and al
though he never reached the first
ten" prominence, his efforts
against many of the worlds rank
ing players labeled him a true
champion.
In 1924-25, he held the Veterans
Double Tennis crown of the United
States, teaming up with Sam
Hardy, and a few years later he
was the Wingate Memorial lee
turer on tennis in U. S. high
schools and universities. Pate is
a member of the United States
Lawn Tennis association, and also
a member of the International
Lawn Tennis association.
He recently declared that de
spite damned good eyesight" he
couldn't foresee another Don
Bulge looming on the next hori-
ION.
Pate is a great lover Of fish
ing, bridge, and music as well
as tennis, and his greatest head
ache came on an angling trip in
the Maine woods sometime ago,
when he paused long enough in
the last car of a northern train,
to permit the rest of the train
to leave him stranded. With the
rest of the party, and all his
equipment in one car, Pate had
retired for a moment to another
car at a time when brakemen
were uncoupling the cars. Pate
arrived at his destination a day
late, thoroughly convinced some
one had conspired against him.
Wilmington's Tennis club. with
J. T. Watts at the helm, couldn't
ask for a better man to act as
an adviser during his stay here.
The club last Friday night took
major steps toward retaining
the net game in Wilmington, by
electing Watts, Mary Johnson, Col
1een Gam, and Leslie Boney. Jr.,
to officers posts in the club. By
laws and membersh, fees are al
ready written into the record, and
the clubs aim at this time is to
better the courts in and around

The st. Louis Flyers provide to-

The Flyers topped the Philadelphia
Rockets, 6-4 in their last game.
That followed 2-all deadlock
against the Providence Reds and a

Leading scorer on the visiting sex
tet is Center Don Crosse, followed
by Wingers Paul Gladu and Ronnie

Pozzo, left winger, chosen as the
clubs most valuable player last

The Lions are well rested and
practically at full strength after a
rugged early season schedule and a
series of injuries had them losing
more games than they won. They
recently snapped a siX-game losing
string and are showing promise of

Coach Jack Riley announces that
