BjU Greene, Professional at
the Qakwoods Country Club in
Wilkesboro, cane back to his
old tramping grounds last week
and, proved he still knows how
the old track runs by shooting
a great round of K. He played
the Blowing Rock course in
nines of 31-34 for the 69 and
could posibly have done better.
Guy Hunt had one of his
better scores the other day, also
at the "Rock" by shooting one
nine in 36, his best for nine
hole*. He ended up with an
eighteen hole total of 80. He
was playing with Mai. Thomas,
Frank Payne and Grady Farth
ing.
The finest round of. all how
ever, was shot by our fine
youqf lefthander, Sam Adams
this put Saturday. But for
three putting eleven and
twelve, Sara could have tied
the Boone course record of 65.
He shot the front nine three
under, and played the back one
under for a four under total of
67. His three putts on eleven
and. twelve were from about
twenty-five feet A great round
by a very smooth "lefty" and
he can expect to equal and
even better this many times in
the future.

Bowling Highlights
Br JAKE JACOBS
What do you bowl? Make your
mark each frame? Or do you
battla to break log?
Best way to boost your aver
age is to angle for that spare.
The pros can tell you that every
one loves the sound oof a strike
ball hitting the pins . , . but
spare bowling is the true art of
the game.
Believe it on not, the novice
finds It easier to get strikes than
spares. Wtiy? Simply because
he's more relaxed facing a big
target like ten fat pins. Con
fronted with the little 7 pin
standing in that lonely left cor
ner, he becomes as tight as a
guitar string. The only differ
ence in shooting tor sparwsk
the starting spot. Look at the
pin-spotting equipment. Numbers
will tell which pins are left
standing _A missed spare cost
you approximately 10 pins, and
it takes two strikes in a row to
make up for it. Hat's why spare
making is the only route to a
better bowling average ... un
less you want to take the easy
way out and Juggle the figures.
With the winter bowling sea
son just around the comer,
league organization will soon be
under way at the local lanes. All
new teams and individuals plan
ning to join leagues for the first
time this season ore ashed to
contact fake Jacobs at the Sky
line Lanes. An enlaijjement of
the Church and Ladies leagues
is planned this fall and those
interested in these leagues are
asked to gat in touch with the
lanes.

t Mr VOTE FRITQUIS
WASHINGTON, D. C ? It
Mm lanks like a New VodtUis
Angeles World Series^ the Ma
jor League peasant wambles
having cleared up considerably
in. Mount weeks. Just prior t?
the Ail-Star game the Yankees
and Dodgers put the pressure
on and moved out
Of course, the Dodgers were
out front last year and blew
their lead. Chances are it won't
happen a second time in the
month of September hut it's
not yet September, and there
are many clubs in the National
League.
For that reason, -the Yankees
appear a better bet at the mo
ment than the Dodgers. The
Yankees, it should be said to
their credit, moved away from
the pack without the support
of Mickey Mantle and this
makes their chances even more
impressive.
In the American League,
though, there are strong team*
alao this year At this stage,
one would rate Chicago, Boston
and Minnesota a* possibles. If
Boston could beat the Yankees
in the field, their chances would
be batter, but the Yank* hold
* 'hex over the Bosox that goes
way back. The Botox can't
break it.
This, goes back before the
days of Ted Williams. The Red
Sox won in 1948 but they had
trouble beating the Yankees all
through the forties and fifties.
One might reply: "Who didn't?"
But the point is that when the
Bosox would have won a flab,
once when Joe McCarthy was
piloting the team, they failed
because they needed to whip
the Yanks in the crucial series
and couldn't hack it. That was
the script again just before the
All-Star game again.
The Minnesota Twins con
tinue to display tremendous
run-scoring power, and would
be near the Yanks today except
for a costly slump and losing
streak earlier in the season. The
Chicago White Sox have great
pitching and. the best chance of
taking the Yankees in their
head-on meetings with the
world chames.
That may not be enough. The
Yankees have looked better
than last year for the past
month mainly because they have
come up with a flock of good
young pitchers. Whitey Fort

h?s won the big games, w U
the modern custom but the
young howlers have padded the
Yankee lead.
A Dodger- Yaoktta Wprld Ser
in would pit the great pitching
of the Dodgers against the form
idable Yankee power and would
be a thrilling one. Drysdale,
Koufaz, Pod res, etc. would
make it tough on Yankee hit
ters in the October classic. This
is probably the best pitching
staff in the Majors today. And
if anything will beat the Yan
kees, it is better hurling, which
Chicago White Sox manager A1
Lopez has so often pointed out
WASHINGTON. O, C. - The
latest word, m this is written,
is that September 30th will likely
be the day Sonny Uston steps
into the ring with big-talking
Cassius Clay. Of course, this is
a battle of big talhars.
But that does net mean they
cannot fight. It is. one of those
rare matches when both men
seem to be fistically potent and
verbally vocal. Sonny says he
will put Ca?sius to sleep inside
of five rounds and Oassius says
he will knock out Hie Big Bear
very early ? he may even
choose the round later
The impression created by the
last Floyd Patterson-Sonny Lis
ten fight makes the champion
the favorite. Cassius may be on
a par with him, measured by
the standards of development,
year by year. But Listen is more
experienced, though still in his
prime, bigger and meaner ? as
the fighters say. He is the type
fighter ?hc creates fear In hit
opponent.
Joe Louis did the same, but in
a different way. Louis was quiet
and polite, but his fists spoke
with authority. Any fighter who
went up against Louis, in Ms
prime, knew he was up against
lightning in both hands and like
ly to be knocked out. But Louis
was not mean, in the sense that
he scorned his opponents openly.
Listen seems to be thoroughly
convinced he is the toughest,
fighter in the world. This is a
good mental attitude, even though
a limited one, for a prizefighter.
Cassius Csay also thinks he is
unbeatable, but in a more norm
al, if a pop-off, manner.
The crowd might be for Clay at
the Liston-Clay meeting, but the
smart money will be on Listen.
However, if Listen doesn't catch
the yohnger Clay early in the
fight, he might have trouble be
fore the bout is over. At east it
will be a more interesting go
than the last few championship
matches in the heavy division.
And that is why these two
boasters will be. knocking each
other's brains around about six
weeks hense, that and the
"gate" the fight will draw.

1 About Your Home
The utiity room is definitely an,
important part o { naw bouses,
and if the prwpnt trend keeps
an, this room will become as
comnwnplace as tt? kit?ben.
Women agree that there must be
? place in the home where
the washer and dryer can be
operated with allied activities,
such as ironing and sewing.
?Most women aak for separate
laundry units, r built-in ironing
board and a pair of porcelain
tubs that can be used to hand
wash colored and white clothing,
defrost large items such as
twenty-five pound turkeys, cut
flowers, and even bathe a baby.
The utility room, we are told,
should be about 10 by IX feet,
located next to the kitchen, and
have a door leading to the bock
yard. It should be decorated at
tractively so that a woman will
want to work there.
It is a very good ktea for the
ilility areas to have separate
electrical circuits so that the
washing machine and toaster can
be operated simultaneously with
out fear of blowing a fuse.
The placement el electrical
outlets brought heavy criticism
from one group of women. They
decried the pcactioe of placing
cutlets above baseboard, level in
rooms other than the kitchen
and the bathroom. More outlets
are needed in every room in the
average hone.
Outdoor living areas art ex
tremely important to the mod
ern family life. However, the ten
dency of late to ignore the im
portance of a utility yard that
is planed with the same thou^it
and effort as the garden, is al
ways a mistake in a family yard.
A recent survey showed the
swimming pool was favored by
the majority of homemakers as
a backyard fixture.
