While the Boston Braves are surprising other league
members in the National league, as well as many fans on
the outs:de looking in, the men who are behind the latest
bid for a flag in the Hub, are surprising a few folks in the
manner they are giving Braves field a face-lifting.
’Tjs sa;d that box seat holders in the National
league park in Boston have been sitting down, and
looking up to the games played there.
The field was too high, box seat holders complained
. . we goota strain our necks to see the action.
Instead of raising the box seats, the three con
tractors who now own the Braves decided to lower the
d'amond some 18 inches. And they are sucecssfu
contractors too.
It’s like the steamship captain who hollered at the
draw-bridge attendant when his vessel neared the bride,
“Don’t raise the bridge, lower the water ”
The three little steam shovels, as the Braves’ own
ers are now called, are type of men who build a home
around a doorknob evidently, but no one can question
their willingness to give Hub fans a winner.
While they dig for a pennant, they dig in their wallets
and come up with a handful of cash, which they spread
around to happy bosses of other teams.
Getting Billy SoutMvorth to sign on the dotted
line, after the ex-Cardinal manager had won a flag for
St. Louis took a healthy sum of cash, and it is now re
vealed that after getting Southworth the sholvels con
tinued to hand out some tempting offers to the Cubs
for Bill Nicholson.
They spent several hundreds of thousands of good old
American bucks buying up such stars as other National
league clubs would sell ’em, and gave little thought to the
fact that across the avenue Tom Yawkey spent fourteen
years spending money before he won a pennant, with the
Red Sox.
Yawkey failed because he tried to buy a flag.. Can t
do it, feilas, because tiie rest of the league is only
going to let so many players of stardom qualities be
sent to any one team. The clinchers won’t follow.
Yawkey learned it, and began shortly before the war
to spend his money in the minors develoning future
greats, and buying minor league talent. The pennant
followed.
Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, Tex Hughson, Dave Fer
riss, Bobby Doerr, Dorn DiMaggio, and Mickey Harris did
not come from other major league teams, and if there is
any other reason the Sox won last year’s pennant, we’d
like to know it. The men named were responsible . . . .
not Rudy York, Joe Dobson, or Wally Moses who were pur
chased from opposing clubs in the same league.
The Braves’ management bought Mort Cooper for
about 860,000, outbidding several other National league
teams for Cooper’s right arm. For all the good the
big righthander did the Braves last year when he won
seven and lost four, they might just as well have farm
ed him out.
Now, the Braves have a chance to give Boston its first
National league flag since the miracle team of 1914, and
it is possible due to Johnny Sain, Bob Elliott, Earl Tor
geson and Warren Spahn, all men obtained by the Braves’
management from sources other than major league trades.
In other words, Boston is proving once again, in a
different league, that you don’t buy pennants, you
develop them. It would almost be true that in modern
baseball there never has been a case of a major lague
trade handing a winner to any single club.
When Dizzy Dean went to the Cubs from the Card
inals, he was a flop. W’hen Hank Borowy went to the Cubs
from the Yankees, the Cubs won the pennant, but not sole
ly on the strength of Borowy.
So it’s good to see the Braves giving up the idea
at least, of trying to purchase stars of other major
league members. Such a practice will never bring a
pennant to the Hub, which is the National league city
most deserving of one right now.
It’s been a long time since Braves fans were treated to
a winner, and most of the fans in the United States, whG
are not directly connected with the other seven clubs, are
rooting for the Injuns this season.
If the management will lower the entire diamond
to give the fans a break in viewing the games at Braves
field, then it is safe to say they will not rest until the
same fans get a break in cheering for their team in a
world series.
This year ? Maybe, but the Cardinals are still the team
to beat, even though they are still far from the pinnacle.
We predict the Giants and Dodgers will fold soon, and the
Braves and Red Birds battle it out down to the wire, with
the Tribe probably just missing the money in September,
But, 1948 is another year.

Kinston Net Team Invades Wilmington I
Pirates Defeat Warsaw, 3-1;
Teams Tied Up In 2nd Tilt
CHESHIRE WINS
NINTH; CURFEW
HALTS NIGHTCAP
The Wilmington Pirates are
moving to Warsaw today after
winning the opening game of a
doubleheader here last night with
the Red Sox. behind the four hit
hurling of Lefty Cheshire, and
then blowing a lead in the night
cap and having t'o'be content with
a 10-10 tie in the 11th frame when
the game was halted due to cur
few laws.
Lanky Fred Townsend was seek
ing his sixth win in a row in the
second game, but the tail tight
! hander gave way to Cheshire in the
late innings, and Skipper Nate An
drew's took over in the ninth when
Warsaw tied the game up at nine
runs apiece.
In the first game it was all
Cheshire, as the great left-hander
of the Bucs stalled the Warsaw
batters with just four hits, and
only Elmer Bohannon solved his
puzzling slants, crashing a home
run in the fifth for the Sox lone
score.
Cheshire didn’t walk a man, and
his mates showed their apprecia
tion by giving him a couple of runs
to work on in the early frames. In
the first inning Bob LeBlanc belt
ed a double to open the game, and
after Hair.p Conn forced Bill Ben
ton to sky out and fanned Bob
Stecke!, Harry Bridges ripped one
past third sacker McCarty to
score LeBlanc.
The Bucs made it two to zero
in the third, when Benton doubled
to center and scored as Scrobola
feel asleep and let the ball go past
him almost to the fence.
Boggy Davis clouted his eighth
home run of the year in the sixth
putting Cheshire out of danger.
The second game was a siugest,
■with the Sox outhitting Wilming
ton 18-15. Hoggy Davis stole the
sluggnig honors with five hits in
six trips, but his hitting couldn’t
produce a victory.
Townsend went out in the eighth
when the Sox scored one run, and
after Cheshire tried his tired arm
in the ninth, the Sox scored 'hrice
to tied up the game. Andrews went
in to stop the rally. Each club
scored once in the tenth.
Wilmington's 9-5 lead melted
when Townsend lost effectiveness
in the seventh, and the big seventh
inning score parade of the Bucs
netting them six runs was nulli
fied.

Hogan Blazes To Lead
When Snead Blows Up
By JERRY LISKA
CHICAGO. June 28.— Little
Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa., slash
ing a five-under-par 66. zoomed
into the three-quarter mark lead
of the §15.900 Chicago Victory Na
tional golf tourney today with a
54-hole aggregate of even 200, a
rousing 13 under par.
Hogan’s surge put the native
Texan, seeking his first tourney
triumph since the Colonial Invi
tation at Ft. Worth, Tex., in mid
May, five strokes ahead of the
erstwhile pace-setter Sammy
Snead of Hot Springs, Va., P.G.A
champion, Jim Ferrier of San
Francisco, and Ellsworth Vines of
Chicago, all knotted at 205.
While Hogan was fashioning a
pair of 33’s for the only 66 fired
in the 69-player filed today, Snead
—a three-stroke leader at 36 holes
with 12-u.nder par 130, scrambled
to a four-over-par 75.
Hogan hammered an eagle three
on the 510-yard sixth hole for his
only sub-par hole in his first
nine and then banged three birdies
on the par-36 back nine.
Tired at 206. six strokes behind
Hogan, were Fred Haas, Jr., of
New Orleans, La., and Johnny
Tievolta of Evanston, 111. Top
amateur among the 21 Simon
purse was Johnny Barnum of
Barnum of Chicago with 212.
The 72-hole scramble which has
a $2,000 top professional prize.
closes with another 18-hole round
tomorrow.
George Payton, slender profes
sional from Hampton, Va.. who
trailed Snead by three strokes at
the 36-hole mark with 133, slump
ed to a 74 today for a 207 dead
lock with Toney Penna of Cincin
nati, Ohio, who took a 70.
Ten other players finished un
der par 213 for the three rounds,
but only a trio of 208's, including
Herman Kaiser of Akron, Ohio,
Dick Metz of Chicago and Jackson
Bradley of Chicago, appeared to
have a fighting chance to over
haul Hogan.
Snead, who only two weeks ago
dropped the U. S. Open when he
blew a 30 1-2 inch putt and hasn’t
won a tourney since last Decem
ber, was as pittery today as his
caddie, an expectant father.
He was one-over par on five
holes,, three of them in succession,
and took a four-over-par on the
first after blasting nines of 30-33-34
33. Sammy just couldn’t get a good
lie and when he did, his putter
failed him.
Hogan was a methodical work
man all the way. After his first
nine eagle, he tapped a 20-footer
for a bridie three on the 373-yard
10th, chipped to within six inches
for a bird on the par-five 12th,
and rolled in a 12-fcoter for a
birdie three on the 18th.
CUBS DEFEATED
BY SPINS, 9-2
Special To The Star-News
LUMBERTON, June 28.—The
Sanford Spinners won the first
game of a doubleheader here to
night from the Lumberton Cube,

quick hits. Catcher Hedrick, with
a double and triple and three runs
batted in, led the Spinners at
tack in a tilt that was halted for
a half hour by a short downpour.

105 S. Front St. Dial 2-1830 I
LOCALS SEEK ZNU
WIN OVER VISITORS
Wilmington’s male netters re
turn to their home courts today
in a match with Kinston, once de
feated this year by the locals, at
Robert Strange at 2 o’clock. Kin
ston does not have a ladies team,
so the champion Port City femmes
will sit this one out.
Slated for a rematch, after a
clash earlier in Kinston, the two
teams’ number one s-.ars, Si Sit
terson of Kinston, and Bob An
drews downed Sitterson 6 2, 6-1 in
the first game.
Thad Watts, president of the
Wilmington Tennis club an
nounced late last night that
Tom Snell, number one colle
giate net star at The Citadel
this season had joined the lo
cal club and would definite
ly play in today’s clash with
Kinston. Watts also said Char
lie Boney, one of Wilming
ton’s strongest racqueteers,
would be ready to play today
making Wilmington a prohibi
tive favorite, as it fields its
strongest male team so far
this year.
Ade Stadium, who lost 6-1, 6-4
to Les Boney in tile first meeting,
will probably meet Boney again
:n the Ac. 1 slots, with Ray Smith
and Horace Emerson tangling in
the third position. Emerson holds
one win over Smith, 6-1, 6-2. Fred
Smith, who defeated Wilmington’s
Bill Peck last month, will meet
Gene Fonvielle today, and John
ells, who beat Fonvielle, may
Play Tom Snell, number one star
of the Citadel, and a possible Wil
mington entry today. Alex Howard
and Dick Hewlett, youthful stars
of their respective teams will stage
a rematch 0f the thrilling first con
test they "laved when Hewlet won
in three sets.
Sitterson and J. M. Barry will
combine for Kinston to seek re
venge on Boney and Emerson for
an earlier defeat when the Port
City players rolled to a 6-3 tri
umph. Wells and R. Smith will
probably play Fonvielle and An
drews in the number two doubles.
Earl Mobley and Pugh Wooten, of
Kinston, will team up to battle
Bob Getty and Archie Fountain
in the third doubles clash. Mobley
and Wooten won the only Kinston
victory in doubles play in the first
meeting.
Wilmington rests just ahead of
Kinston in the ECTA, and figure to
