The Bulldogs started their season
this year by playing Gaston Tech
and smothering them with a 28-4
victoi-y. They then took on another
non-conference team for the David
son Freshmen and thumped the
Wildcats 18-3. Then they took on
their first conference rival, Brevard,
and barely squeaked by the Indians
2-1. They then played host to Ashe-
ville-Biltmore and swarmed over
them 17-3. Then the Bulldogs went
on the road for the first time this
year and defeated their third con
ference foe, Spartanbui'g 6-1 in the
best game they have played and the
best game that has been played
against them also.
WajTie Proneberger is leading the
pitching staff so far with a spotless
3-0 record. Bobby Jones and Wesley
Hughes follow closely with a 1-0
record each. Proneberger has two
conference wins and has allowed
only two runs in 18 innings of con
ference play.
The Bulldogs have scored 71 runs
on 63 hits and have committed 10
errors. They have committed only one
error in conference play, however.
Their opponents have scored 12 runs
on 20 hits and have committed 18
They have 11 games remaining
and a very rough road ahead. North
Greenville and Mars Hill stiU have
good chances to take the crown as
well as Gardner-Webb and Wingate.

MY FIRST BASEBALL GAME
By Elizabeth Rabon
After I had harped at my husband for years to take me to a base
ball game, he finally said he would.
Well, we got ready and went. We were perched there on those plank
seats, gazing at all the funny people who came in, when all these convicts
came racmg out on the field. One of them shouted, “Play ball, boys!”
Well, I figured he was the boss who had to tell them what to do, and
also that it was a mean trick to wait until they got out there to tell them
what it was they were there for.
There they went! Just a-slapping
and knocking a ball all over the
place, with this sUck, and then see
ing how far they could run before
it fell back to the ground. When
they ran to those little white things,
sometimes the convict whose place
it was to stand on it, wouldn’t move
for the one who was out-ruiming
the ball to get on it, so he had to
lay down and roll up to it. This al
ways caused a lot of dust.
It went on that way all night, just
knocking, slappmg, sliding, shout
ing, and all tiiat. I 1
