W0LFPACK WINS
COLUMBUS TITLE
Special To The Star

WHITEVILLE, May IL. - Rudy
Williams, Whiteville's 15-year-old
freshman pitcher, is a happy boy
tonight he held Williams high
school to five hits, and his Wolf
pack team scored a ga victory to
annex the Columbus county cham
pionship. The game was played in
Williams.
Although Williams needed a lit
tie help from Dan "Double-No-Hit"
Williams in the ninth inning, it was
his game. He wiffed six and exert
ed remarkable control at the right
times.
Jacobs, the losing hurler, gave
up only five hits and struck out
ten. 1t might have been another
victory for Jacobs if his teammates
hadn't made four costly errors.
The Packs young hurler al
lowed a similar number of bingles,
five, and the losers got another off
Dan Williams.
Nevertheless, the Pack "saw
their chance and took it" when
the time came. The exact time
came in the sixth inning, when
Whiteville countered twice as Ward
misplayed Elton Hammond S
grounder, Dick Coburn's single and
Il. Wards error:
The home team tied it up in the
seventh on triples by L. Ward, H.
Ward and Quinerly's miscue.
But the Pack won the crown in
the eighth, tallying four times on
two hits and assorted fielders
| choices, errors and walks. 1t was
their ninth win out Of ten games.
