The Cruso-Plpeon girls' contest was a thriller all the way, with the Pigeon sextet winning a 33-32 decision. ; ' The Center Pigeon boys, how ever, took the lead at the start and kept it for a 47-22 triumph. Mrs, Mary Layman, former Enka All-America, supported by her two sisters at the other Cruso forward posts, took high scoring honors with 15 points, just one point ahead of Center Pigeon's Catherine Rhlnehart, Mrs. Corline (Cotton) Mathts col lected 11 points for the winners, who comprise principally girls who starred for Bethel High when the lady Blue Demons ruled the West ern North Carolina roost. The Center; pigeon girls had a flve-poini lead at intermission. But the Cruso girls battled back in the second half to come within a single point of spoiling the per fect Pigeon record. The big gun for the Pigeon boys was Ernest Methis, who hit the hoop for 18 points, while Roy Poston topped the losers with eight,.,- :.V;: The boys' battle was clode throughout the first half; with Center Pigeon holding a slim 22-17 lead at intermission. However, the Pigeon boys turned on the heat tn the third and fourth quarters to pull out of danger and win going away. In the Cruso sister act, Mrs. Willie Mae Fullbright collected nine points while Sister Georgia Clark was just a point behind. Haywood fans remember Georgia as one of the stars who made the all-tournament team in the Enka state semi-pro event in the early war years. Before tnat she was named to the all-star team of the Canton Gold Medal tournament While playing for Bethel. Mrs. Mathis, then Corline West, made all-tournament honors In 1946 and 1947 in the- Gold Medal events while starring for Bethel. The tough going for the victory have Center Pigeon fans consider ing the fast-improving Cruso girls as making the biggest obstacle In their path to the championship of the Haywood County Community Development Tournament.

Sanicki drove home 102 runs, not far below Bilko's top figure of 125. If Sanicki makes the grade the Phillies will have a solid outfield. A peek at the last month of the 1949 season, when the Phils hurled back one challenge after another to gain third place, shows that Ennis lilt ,384 In the homestretch and that Ashburn came to life with .333. Their final figures were .302 and .284 respectively. if Sanicki fails, Sawyer has the happy problem of playing either of two southpaw swingers, Bill Nieholson or Dick Sisler, in right field. ; v ," 1 The Phillies just seem to abound with bright spots. Take second baseman Mike Goiiat. He hit .286 at Toronto and reported to the big time with an ailment. He hit only .212 at the tail end but came to life after a slow start. He is rugged and only 24. Granny Hamner at short led the league in double plays with 101. He ranked fifth in fielding among the shortstops but he has that necessary first full year: under bis belt. Playing every game, he hit .263, lnculding six homers. Four of the four baggers came )n September. Willie (Puddin' Head) Jones, too, has his first full campaign behind him. He hit pnly.245. Jast year but his'l9 home runs serve as a warning to opposing pitchers. He led the team in Vuns driven home in September with 19, three more than Ennis. Sawyer's catching appears ad equate in Andy Semioick and the youthful Stan Lopata. His pitching isn't too bad, either. Russ Meyer was the team's hottest pitcher at the end, winning his Last six starts and another game in relief for seven straight. He began Septem ber with a 10-8 record and finished with 17 and 8. Veteran Ken Hetntzelman may have tired at the end for he won only two of his last eight starts. But three of the losinr fames were, in order, a shutout by How ie Pollett, 8-1 defeat by Bos ton and a 2-1 loss to Ken Raffens berter. : , . Robin Roberts won two of his last six starts but two setbacks were 2-0 and 1-0 games. Curt Simmons, the $65,000 bonus beau ty, won only four games but he was hot as a relief hurler at the end. This could be his year.
