Cub Homers Defeat Sanford;
Robins, Twins Split; Blues Win
Giving the Sanford Spinners a taste of their own medi
cine, the Lumberton Cubs handed the league leaders their
second straight defeat—something rarely accomplished—
by pummeling them 10-7 on the basis of three home runs
in a game at Sanford yesterday.
Meanwhile, the Clinton Blues
jumped on the Leafs Brady for six
runs in the third inning at Smith
field to assure themselves of a 10-5
victory, Dunn-Erwin and Red
Springs split a doubleheader in
Robintown, and Warsaw defeated
Wilmington, 4-2.
Bill Wood pounded two of the
Cubs four-masters. His first earn*
in the sixth inning with Whistling
Bill Kivett lounging around the
sacks. Then Shelton Stanley dou
bled, and Elzer Marx hit another
home run, and Hoyt Clegg headed
for the showers. He was replaced
by Jim Watson, who pitched an
other home run ball to Wood i-*
the following inning. These blows
proved sufficient to sink the Spin-*
ners.
Manuel Garcia knocked about
rather heavily by Sanford, one of
their hits being a circuit clout by
Bob Pugh in thg second inning
with Bruce Hedrick on base. But
Garcia lasted out the game and
received credit for the victory.
Clegg was charged with the loss.
Clinton had seven runs before
the Leafs ever got started yester
.dav afternoon. After nicking
Smithfield’s Brady for cue run in
the second inning, they took ad
vantage of two walks and an er
ror, coupled with three hits, to
knock the starter out of the box in
the third with six runs. Buddy
DePriest came in for relief, but
Brady took the loss.
Ed Bukulka tripled twice for the
Sampsons to lead in the extra
base department. He also poked
out a single and scored three
times. Charley Marsh belted four
hits in five times at the plate to
lead the Clinton 15-hit attack, how
ever. The Blues added two more
in tiie fourth and a final markes
in the sixth to ice the game. Smith
field tallied twice in both the third
and fourth innings, and they touch
ed Tumage for one more in the
seventh frame before giving up.
Each of the two games between
Red Springs and Dunn-Erwin were
pitchers’ duels. The Robins took
the first tilt by a 5-3 score, while
the Twins won the abbreviated’
six-inning game, 4-3.
The Twins uncovered two new
hurlers in the doubleheader. Gotts
man, who started the first game,
was credited with the loss althougH
he gave up but one hit. However,
he lost control in the fifth inning,
issuing six walks to help the
Robins manufacture four runs and
another mark in the win column.
Johnny Tate took his place, an<|
was nicked for four hits by Red'
Springs. Don Carter held the
Twins to six hits, and he didn’t
allow a run after the third inning.
Polink, another new Twin hurl-*
er, had better luck in the second
game, giving up but four hits. AI7
though Jim Miller, Parnell, and
loser Bill Armbruster allowed the
same number to the Twins, the
winners took advantage of one
hit, a walk and two fielders’
choices to score twice and beat
the Robins. The game was called1
at the end of the sixth because of
the Tobacco State league Sunday
law.
Baby cries when he is hungry,
uncomfortable, and when he is in
pain A fretful baby isn’t crying
for fun. He’s trying to tell you
something,s wrong. Usually it is
hunger, advises a pediatrician.
Cards Beat Bucs Twice,
Edge Closer To Brooks
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10 —tfl—The
St. Louis Cardinals edged a half
game closer to the league leading
Brooklyn Dodgers by outslugging
the Pittsburgh Pirates 7 to 5 in
the second game of a double to
day after Murry Dickson held the
Pirates to four hits for a 5 to 0
triumph in the opener. Dickson re
lieved Ken Burkhart in the night
cap when the starter got into trou
ble in the top of the eighth.
The Redbirds trail Brooklyn by
three and a half games after the
Dodgers won their lone contest
with the Philadelphia Phillies.
St. Louis opened up the second
game scoring with two runs in
the second frame, adding four
more in a big third inning on the
offerings of starter Ernie Bonham
with two errors alkwing two of
the tallies. .
The Pirates tried their fust
comeback in the fourth on four
straight hits but a doubleplay
helped Burkhart out of that in
ning after just two runs. St. Louis
added a score in the seventh then
Pittsburgh knocked Burkhart off
the mound in the eighth with a
three run-four hit attack.
In the first game the Birds scor
ed their first run on Erv Dusak’s
double and Stan Musial’s single in
the third. Four more runs de
veloped in the fifth from Del Wil
ber’s double, Red Schoendienst s
single, infield Aits by both Dusak
and Musial and a fluke “broken
hat” hit bv Whitey Kurowski.

Hogan Leads At Spokane
After Firing Hole In One
SPOKANE. Wash.. Aug. 10— (/P)—
Ben Hogan’s poke with a five iron
on the 161-yard fourth hole today
hit the back of a bunker and
bounced into the'cup for a hole in
one that put him back in com
mand in the $10,000 Esmeralda
Open Golf tournament.
Going into the Jast round of the
four-day program with a 206, two
strokes back of Herman Keiser of
Akron, Ohio, and one behind Ed
Furgol of Pontiac. Mich., Hogan
followed up his ace with a steady
brand of play that gave him a 33
for the out nine, two under par.
Playing with him, Furgol was
one under for the side. Behind
them, Keiser was one over par
after six holes, which made the
trio even in their battle for the
$2,000 top money. A tie would put
them into a playoff tomorrow.
Ellsworth Vines, starting at 206.
also was in pursuit of Keiser. as
were George Payton of Hampton.
Va. and John Palmer of Badin.
N. C.. at 207.
George Schneiter of Ogden,
Utah, and Lew Worsham, the Na.*
tional Open champ from Oakmont.
Pa., pulled themselves into the
high money bracket with a pair
of 67s . Schneiter, with 280, tooK
the lead temporarily. Worsham
was a stroke back and Stan Leon
ard, Vancouver. B. C., was in with
70 for 283 and temporary th'rd
ranking.
Vines closed out the
in 36 and Reiser in 35. Bill Nary
of Phoenix?’Ariz., aaued a par 3?
to his 211 on the out nine.
HEAVIER DRILLS
SET FOR ’CATS
Football practice is expected
to be stepped up slightly today
at New Hanover High school
as early Wildcat grid doings
enter their second week.
Assistant coach Jap Davis
will still be running linemen
up and down to get tight
muscles loosened up, and to
take excess weight off larger
boys, especially 220-pounders
Dek Jordan and Bob Haas.
Jordan is pushing for a tackle
position, while Haas is tagged
for center.
Leon Brogden wound up the
first week of grid activity
Saturday with helping Irvin
Gere and Lyn Grissom brush
up on ball-handling as X- for
mation quarterbacks. The ’Cats
are a cinch to use the T as
their basic running formation
this year as they did in the
1946 season.
The Wildcat mentor also
got a chance to look over some
end prospects as Charlie Smith
tossed ’em in some pass de
fense drills. Jack Parker and
Bill Quarles got the once
over as end candidates, and
Homer Brewer and co-captain
Jim Gibson, both of whom will
see plenty of action in the
backfield tills year, were glue
ing their finger* cm Smith'*

HAMPSTEAD TAKES
FIRST-PLACE TIE
Hampstead’s scrappy Cape Fear
team landed in a first place tie
with Winter Park yesterday by
defeating the Rangers in a ch\e
5-4 contest at Winter Park yester
day afternoon. Masonboro, peren
nial hard-luck team of the loop,
took a 3-2 edging from Skeet
James’ Pepsi-Cola crew. In the
meantime, Acme-Delco finally em
erged from the cellar to pounce
on Seagate in a 6-1 affair played
at Delco.
Both Winter Park and Hamp
stead reached rival hurlers for
only six hits, with Jack Whedbee
receiving credit for the victory.
Hampstead broke a 4-4 tie in the
ninth inning with singles by Amos
Carter and Lyn Rowan, and a
sacrifice by Rudy Johnson.
Bubber Borne man and Ed Lamb
combined singles with three Hamp
stead errors to score all of the
Rangers’ runs in the sixth inning
to grab a 4-1 lead. Hampsiead
tied the game in the eighth with
a hit, two walks, and two errors.
Johnson and Rowan both got two
hits in three times at bat to ac
count for two-thirds of the hits off
loser Norwood Skipper. Whedbee
walked three and fanned five.
Skipper was a little wild, giving
up seven free passes.
The Seagate-Acme Delco game
was another in which both teams
each rapped out the same number
of hits, nine in this case, lvo
Wortman, scholarly Acme Delco
hurler, went the route, scatter
ing the Seagate bingles nicely.
Delco took a 2-1 lead in the third
inning, and they wrapped up the
game in the sixth with a three
run rally.
J. A. Marks and Wahrhahn
belted Jack Allen and J. B. Wal
lace for two hits in three trips
apiece. Both ol Marks’ hits were
doubles, while Wehrhahn connect
ed for one triple and a single.
With young Jim Crawford good
in the pinches Pepsi-Cola defeated
Masonboro 3 to 2 at Masonboro.
Pepsi drew first blood in the first
inning when they combined two
walks wtih a fielder’s choice to

Foster, plucky Oakland, Calif.,
speed merchant, drove the De

winner of the 1946 race at Det
troit, dropped out of the race due
to engine trouble after taking a
momentary lead early in the final
heat. Herb ' Mendelson’s Notre

Joe Hatten stopped the Phils on
five hits in outpitching Blix Don
nelly.
Walker drove home Ed Stanky
with the Dodgers’ first run in the
opening frame with an infield sin
gle and tiie popular ballhawk sent
Stanky over the plate in the eighth
with another one-baser.
Stanky began both Dodger ral
lies. In the first, he reached base
when hit by a pitched ball. He
moved to second on a sacrifice
and advanced to third on Pete
Reiser’s infield single. Walker
then singled off Donnelly’s glove
to score Stanky.
In the eighth, the scrappy in
fielder beat out a grounder and
moved to second when Donnelly,
covering first, let the throw get
away from him. He moved to
third on a sacrifice and after

blow.

BLUM WINS
COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 10.—(^)
—Arnold Blum of Macon, Ga., an
nexed the Southeastern Amateur
Championship for this third time
today by defeating a fellow towns
man, Gardner Dickinson. Jr., 4-3
in a 36-hole final match over a
rain drenched course.
Monday night the Pirates «nc
Sox will clash in a doubleheader
in Legion stadium beginning at
7 o'clock with Johnny Edens and
the newly-acquired Bob Stephen
son probably taking the mound
for Wilmington. If Stephenson
does start, it’ll be his ii-st slab
assignment for the Pirates.
The game was uneventful until
the fourth inning, when the Buca
took a short-lived two run lead.
Up until that time, Bird had set
them down one-two-three in suc
cessive innings.
With two out, the Bucs got to
work on Bird with straight single*
by Billy Benton, Hargrove Davis
and Harry Brides. Bridges’ hit
scored Benton, and Davis, on
third from the same blow, tallied
on a passed ball. That was all
for the Bucs.
Warsaw roared back to tie up
the game in their half. Andy
Scrobola led off with a sing e to
center, and Bed Stephens poled
a triple past Davis to the right
field wall to score him.' When
Jones flied out to Benton in deep
left, Stephens scored. Lamb then
walked Lail, and it looked like
he was going to be in trouble,
but McArty forced Lail at second
and Bird fanned to end the treat.
Lamb doubled with two out in
the fifth, but Musumeci ground
ed out, and the Pirates didn’t
peep again except for a single by
Bridges in the seventh and an
other by Musumeci in the eighth.
After Stephens had popped up
to Steckel to open the sixth, Jones
tripled to right center and scored
the winning run by whizzing home
when Lamb wasn’t looking. After
Lail had grounded out to Hardisky,
McArty hit his homer.
