Second Game to Be Played Here Tomorrow Night With Hampton on Mound; All Series Games to Start at 7:30 O'clock. Manager (Red) morning planned to Smory Rudd to the mound at Mayodan tonight in the opening game their series" with Harry Daughtry's Bent- tors for the right to mwt winner of the in the final for the cup. The latter two teams will clash tonight at Baasett with Livengood and Abbitt or Volght expected to be on the mound for their respective teams. All will at o'clock, notwithstanding previous reports of other starting times.

7:30 o'clock starting time wte decided on at a meeting of director! of the participating clubi at ville on Sunday. While the Mayodan ikipper made no announcement relativt to who will pitch, a that Mc- Oee will be on the hillock tonight firing them across to the Leafs. Lefty Southard, one of the league's leading pitchers, would be the guess of many, but it is recalled that Daughtry has not sent a lefthander afalnst Danville this year, though during a temporary absence of Daughtry. Reynolds threw a postalder. Miller, 'agalntt Barnes crew and they slaughtered him for a 12-1 victory.

The Leafs have not batted against Southard this year. One thing is definite. Lefty Bob Hampton, left hand ace. will hurl for the Leafs Thursday night here against Mayodan in the second game. With two lefthanders on his roster, Daughtry may be forced to abandon his strategy of using only righthand- ers against the Leafs before the series Is over.

Danville are planning to attend tonight's opener tn Mayodan and a record turnout is expected here tomorrow night. Inteiest also is high in Bassett and Reldsvillc over their series. The big question seems to be whether Bas- setfs sterling pitching corps headed by Wes Lefty Mickey Logue and including Rhem. Lewis and Sira- pusa. or Reldsvilie's powerhouse will prevail during their series.

Wally Novak has a brilliant mound but on the other hand those Luckies have been muiderers of the ball all season with every man on down the batting order packing explosive power. Manager Jim Poole has Abbitt and Voight as among his best pitching bets with Lefty Briggs, Lefty Colura and Sabo on hand to carry on when called upon.

While Bates won by rather one- sided scores in the TWO sets which he took from Satterfleld. it was much harder match than score indicated, as many of gamw were deuced repeatedly before either player could break through for a win. Most of Danville's tennis players felt little doubt that Satterfield could beat Bates in a tournament mach. 1 however, they under-rated the ability to play tennis, and to keep on lighting.

Bates had beaten Russell Hill on "Monday by a 6-3. 6-3 score. Two matches remain to be played to decide who will meet Bates in the Robert R. West, who has bren out. of the city several days, expected back today, and is scheduled to meet David Tyrce.
