They had won the first one, 11 2, earlier this month at Canton. Kuykendall had pitched a four hitter on that occasion, also. The Haywood Juniors scored all the runs they needed 14) the first time they, came to bat, added one in the fourth, and then went out of sight with four in the sixth. Rutherford came to life late in the game, scoring all their tallies In the last three frames of the nine-inning test. The locals supported Kuyken- dall's pitching performance with another exhibition of perfect field ing. At the same time, their offen sive received a boost from eight Rutherford errors. The victory kept Haywood Coun ty welt in the fight for Area IV League 1 honors. Shortstop Ray Robinson and Catcher Charlie Poindexter, Jr., were the heaviest guns in Hay wood's eight-hit attack. Robinson got two safeties in his three times at bat, while Poindexter came through with a .500 average to show for his four plate appear ance.

Russell Hits Right-Hand All Right -By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor BROOKLYN. N. Y. if Jim Russell only could get a few hits hatting left handed, he would be tlj biggest surprise in Brooklyn since Frenchy Bordagaray's beard ed upper lip and goatee.

When Chuck Rayner of the New York Rangers was voted the Hart Trophy for the 1949-50 season, it was thp second time the honor had gone to a goaltender. JIM RUSSELL Experienced Hand right handed hitting outfielder. Carl Furillo, of course, is No. 1, Tom Brown and Bill Antonello are the other rlghties but they have been bypassed in favor of Russell's experience. Against southpaws, Russell is real dangerous as he proved in his first start in left field against the Giants and a few days later against the Phillies. In his first seven trips to the plate, hitting righty, Jim banged out two home runs and a triple. In his first six whacks left handed, he drew a horse collar. At last look he had three homers in five games while hitting right handed. Despite Russell's slow start left handed, 'Brooklyn:. 1948-49 statistics show he has hit well no matter from which side he swings, As a member of the :- Boston Braves last season, Russell cracked out eltfht home runs, six of them batting right handed. -In 1948 when, the Braves won the National League flag, Russell twice beat Brooklyn with homers. Russell probably would still be with the Braves but for the fact that he and Billy South worth didn't see eye to eye. Dur Ing the first two months of last season, Russell played regularly though he wasn't In the best of shape. "My feet hurt after the first two months of the season," says the ex-Pittsburgh Pirate. , "I played when I shouldn't have."

Russell, 30, enjoyed his best sea son in the National League as Pirate in 1944 when he hit .312 In 1948, as a Brave, he tied the modern league record by making four long hits in one game. This is Russell's ninth year In the majors.

That's why his name Is miss ing from the National League Green Book and the Baseball Reg Ister. After a long talk with Branch Rickey, Russell ; announced he would stay In baseball only if with Brooklyn. "If the Dodgers don't want me I'll go back to. my beer route in Pittsburgh," said Russell.
