8 NEWS AND OBSERVER. RALEIGH. N. WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 27, 1921. WARDMEN LOCK HORNS WITH BULLS IN FIRST GAME THIS AFTERNOON Hundreds of Local Fans To Go To Durham To Attend Initial League Game PROBABLE LINE-UP FOR RALEIGH IS ANNOUNCED Seven of Nineteen Players Wore Capital Uniforms Last Year; Prospects Mangare Joe Ward and nineteen diamond warriors will board the 8:52 train Durham this morning lock horns a Manush's Bulls this afternoon in the initizel conflict of the 1921 season of the Piedmont League.

Shortly afternoon hundreds of automobiles from Raleigh and all parts of Durham and Wake counties will be on their way to the Bull City, loaded with fans eager to see the national pastime come into its own again. Raleigh will delegation that will make itself exceedingly conspicuous in vocally encouraging the Wardmen. The other games today will be played at Danville, where the Virginians will take on Bill Pierre's Manufacturers from High Point, and at Greensboro between Carroll's Patriots and Clancy's Twins from WinstonSalem. The schedule remains the same for tomorrow's game, the series to be continued this season. game opening game in Raleigh comes Friday, when the Capitals meet Danville.

Probable Line-up Seven of the nineteen players headed for Durham this morning wore Raleigh uniforms last year, being Dorsey, Kearney, Hefter, "Bill" Allen, "Bill" Holding, Higgins and McNeill. The others are new, but included are several Tar Heels who have broken into baseball fame in these parts. Ward yesterday announced the probable line-up as follows: "Bil' Allen, Alex Gibson or "Mush" Higgins will perform on the pitchers' mound and Lew Kearney or Spencer will do the receiving. Hugh slated for a berth in the right garden instead of left as of last year, Floyd, from Rocky Mount, will cover left field, and Davis or Collins will handle the center position. "Bill" Holding goes into the infield this season, and will hold down the first sack.

Hefter retains his place at second and McNeill remains at the third station, "Bob" Lennox, brother of Sam, be stationed at short. Pulliam, a Twin City boy, and Batchelor, also from the Rocky Mount club, are held in readiness for infield duty. Ward is of the opinion he has a stronger pitching staff than last year. Besides Allen, Gibson and Higgins the Raleigh manager has Max Hines, a Raeford boy, Will Clarkson, a Raleigh product, who is showing the earmarks success, and Kolhof, a new arrival from Connie Mack's Philadelphia camp. Allen, Gibson and Hines were all former members of the 113th Field Artillery in the World War, which was i in command of Col.

Albert L. Cox, president of the local club. This expected to make a big showing this season. Allen last year proved to be Ward's mainstay, and Gibson and Hinse have showed up exceedingly well in practice. With the present line-up, Joe expects to hang around the top position again this season.

However, no opportunity has been afforded for a comparison of the other five teams of the circuit and the Raleigh manager will have a chance to judge the strength of the local outfit when the fireworks begin this week. First Here Friday The festivites incident to the initial conflict in Raleigh Friday between the Capitals and Herbert Murphy's Danvillians will be in charge of the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, and committees from each organization are making. plans which will include a parade and ceremonies surrounding the throwing of the historic first ball of the season on the local lot. Last year the official attendance the opening contest here between Raleigh and Durham was 3,047 and a still larger crowd is expected for the fray Friday. Danville and Raleigh will play here Saturday also.

The season will be split in half, the last games of the first half to be played July 4 and the last games of the sceond half on September 13, Two umpires will officiate at each contest.

Frazier was yanked from the box in the second, but too late to save the game. Manager Martin protested the game for Petersburg, claiming that Umpire Harper should have called him out instead of Vermilyea when Martin crossed the plate ahead of Vermilyea and slid into Head, the Wilson catcher. Quinn, the Wilson pitcher, got a home run in the first with two on base. Harris was effective for the Trunkmakers. A desperate ninth inning rally by the Trunkmakers with two runs needed to tie ended in Brannighan striking out with two on bases.

NEWPORT NEWS PITCHERS HAND GAME TO TAR HEELS Rocky Mount, April Tar Heels were donated the second game of the series with Newport News this afternoon by an 8 to 5 count, when the Shipbuilders' twirlers issued a total of thirteen passes and handed the fray to Fullenweider's men on a silver tray.

Seinn, who started for the visitors, issued seven passes and forced in two runs during his four innings in the box, while McCarty, who replaced him, experienced like difficulty in locating the rubber and dished out six free transportation tickets. The heavy stick work of the visitors featured the game, which was a long drawn out, listless affair, but despite the fact that they chalked up 15 safeties, the liberality of their moundsmen cost them the game. Whitecraft, with a circuit drive, a triple and a double, led in the Builders' attack on Loach's slants, while Kelliher, with three safe blows out of as many trips to the plate, was the Tar Heel's best bet with the willow.

MOTORCYCLE EFFECTIVE IN I POLICE CIRCLES The wave of crime which has been sweeping the country has focused public attention on the motoreycle for time and again it has been proven to be the most effective method of coping with the situation. Many of the bandits and outlaws rely on automobiles to extend their operations and the police departments of the country have responded by buying and using the speedy and more mobile motorcycles as never Municipalities with adequate motorcycle police protection have had no trouble in holding the lawbreakers in cheek. Under the old order of things, policemen on foot patrolled the downtown districts, whereas motorcycles have extended police protection to the suburbs, and enabled the business districts to be more efficiently protected. Indeed, a prominent chief of police has asserted that: "A motorcycle sidecar outfit manned by two officers is more effective than a dozen policemen on foot." What are the motorcycle requirements of service! Why is the motoreycle particularly adapted for police, service! In the first place, modern motorcycles are dependable.

They are ready for anything, anywhere and any time. often depends upon their reliability. Modern motoreycles are durable. Police service is arduous and emergencies sometimes give but little chance to preserve the machines. To be really effective, motorcycle policemen must be gogetters, and their machines must be built to stand the gaff.
