Sp< Local For The Fans B ^ Cat Baseball Lineup Gets Reworking Coach Lawson Brown gave his W.C.T.C. baseball squad a complete going over and reworked his lineup last Saturday in preparation for the opening games which come up Saturday in the form of a doubleheader at Maryville (Tenn.) College. Clyde Pressley, heavy hitting outfielder, has been moved to first base, and J. E. (Lefty) Pardue has been shifted to pitcher in order to give the club more portside hurling. Buck Page, a newcomer from Brevard College, should bolster the chatching staff allowing Joe Pressley to be moved from that position into one of the outfield | vacancies. , With the addition of Pardue, the pitching corps should be in top shape by the time the heavy con- j ference schedule comes up. L. C. Crocker, a fireballer from j Waynesville, who until this year had difficulty in finding the plate, seems to have overcome this and his high, hard one should be hard to see. The Cats' first home gabies come | up on April 15 and 16 against the Appalachian State Moj/ntaineers. In 1942 North Carolina ranked | "first in the production of tobacco, i sweet notatoes. and lesDedeza for seed. She leads the world in the' 1 manufacture of tobacco and chairs, I and has more cotton mills than any other state. v fjnj, 666 ^^^^UQwioomaaun-SAipiwir mm a . v i: I Radios Repaired J AT Bit \ e uw \ if ?T4 f 1 1 I J I 'J ? p ? f For ... r Truly Fine Monuments c See c SYLVA MARBLE and v GRANITE WORKS JAMES T.

Western North Carolina baseball fans get their first look at the 1949 edition of the Asheville Tourists Sunday^ April 3, when they meet the Marion Marauders in the first game of their exhibition schedule slated for McCormick Field in Asheville. The 1948 Tri-Stars League champions received their first assignment of players last Friday and under the watchful eye of Manager Ed Head they went right to work and pounded out a 6-1 victory over the Newport News club of the Piedmont League. Three of the first assignment were with the Tourists last year. They are: pitcher Gene Starr, outfielder Bill Jekielek, and infielder Ken Lein. At present there are several weak positions in the Asheville squad, but Manager Head is confident that they will be worked out' before Sunday. The Tourists will arrive in Asheville Friday.
