Lincolnton started off the ball game by scoring lour quick runs. Charlie Poindexter walked the first two men who faced him, then gave up a tingle 'to Bob Lee and a double to James Laney in con secutive order. Laney raced home with the fourth run on Catcher Crag Gales' outfield fly before Poindexter put ..the fiie out. Haywood 'tame right back in the bottom of the second, pounding Starter Ken IJtain for four hits and working him for a walk to score five runs. Poindexter. poat of the first frame, was the big mm, slamming a triple that scored Dave Robin son with the first run of the rally. Jimmy Kuykendall, playing left field, followed Willi a .-.ingle that scored Poindexter. Then Morgan hingled and Itiuht fifcler, Pete. Howard doubled in that older, tying up the hall game. Abbott mint,; it cafe-to Prst on an infield en or, and Dave Hi i tol did the tame, as Howard came home on another l.iiKoli.ton bob ble. Lincolnton knotted the count in the fourth however, when Nor man Young raced home on Bob Heafner's ' sacrifice.' Robinson put Haywood back in front in the fifth with his boom ing homer to center field, but again Lincolnton tied it up in the next inning. Haywood went ahead orain in the eighth as Howard came home on Abbott's rinsle. Then it was the same story again. Joe O'Connor, who had walked, came in with the tying run on Lee's single. Haywood went to the front in the eighth lor th,. last time. How ard walked, stole second, went to third on Abbott's simile, but was nabbed at the plate. Abbott, meanwhile, had reached base on a s;inl', stole 'fcchud. then came in as Bristol reached first on a; fielder' chence i and Kiikpatrick Walked".- f v ; . VLiUle, 'who had relieved Beam iiS the! second, left Kiikpatrick stranded, however, ..as he got his third out by, a strikeout. Then Lincolnton won the ball game on a walk, a sacrifice, and three hits. Harkey, pinch-hitting for Little, worked Poindexter for a pass, then advanced to secon dun Dave Rudi iiii'3 tacriike. He tame home with the tyin? run on O Connor's double. O'Connor rated in with the win ning tally seconds later as Laney lapped out a single. ' .

He slammed four singles in five times at bat, would have Lad a per fect day but for a briliiant catch bv Lee w ho snagged his long fly on his fourth time up.

Kuykendall fanned 13 men in racking up his eighth victory in the nine Legion games he's pitched this season. Charlie PolndeKter led Hay wood's nine-hit attack with two safeties in four trips. The win gave the local juniors an even break in their first two games of the western area sched ule, They had dropped a 13-12 de cision to Gastonia July 4. The local boys had to come from behind to take their third straight decision this season over Ruther ford Countywhich also was Kuy kendall's third straight over the same club. Two run:! in the bottom of the neventh provided the necessary margin, and four more in the next frame put up the insurance.

Gastonia Wins 2d Area IV Game Gastonia's American Legion Juniors came from behind in the seventh Friday night to start roll ing to an 11-4 victory over Lincoln ton's Legionnaires at the Gastonia park. The win kept the defending State and 'regional champions' Area IV playoff ulate clean for two games. They had won their previ ous western area engagement on July 4, etlying Haywood County, 13-12 Right-hander Jerry Haney, the boy whu had played fireman in stopping Haywood's late rally earli er in 'the week, did the same in Friday niPht's contest. Haney relieved Southpaw Roger Kendiiek in the top of the sev enth, when Lincolnton held a 4-3 lead, and kept the challengers in check the real of the route. The Gastonia boys clinched it in the bottom of the eighth by dupli cating their previous four-run out burst. The winners collected 14 hits, while Kendrick and Haney be tween theiii limited Lincolnton to an even half-dozen. Oaseluooil Licks Sylva En 17EJC Industrial fiesi The Hazelwood diamond dusters turned in four double plays and blasted 14 hits of Sylva pitching here yesterday as they won an 11 7 WNC Industrial League verdict. The victory was a costly one, however, as the locals lost Milburn Balance, promising young hurler, for the rest of the season. Balance fractured his arm in the ninth as he threw a pitch. The ball sailed into the Sylva dugout and Balance collapsed on the mound. Second Baseman Elmer Dudley finished the game in his place. Shortstop Dee Stevenson of Can ton proved the sparkplug of the ball game and its outstanding play er as he figured heavily in three of the twin-killings and scored one run. Dudley and Rightfielder Bob Pitts were the big guns in the Hazelwood offensive as they slam med out three hits each in five times at bat, Pitts drove in three runs and Dudley one. Hazelwood meets Beacon Mills here at 5 P. M. Wednesday in an exhibition contest. Sylva: AB R H Hamilton, ss 4 1 1 Sherrill, 2b - 4 12 Dillard, 3b . 5 11 Powell, c 4 2 2 Phillips.

"Baseball's Greatest Hitters," 1 A,- S. Barnes, $31 is typical of Meany, well done with anecdotes of gooxl taste on the best pardon, greatest hitters known. Rather than dote on some of the humorous angles covered by Meany let's look at his 20 hit ters. '. At a hurried glance one might think Tom attempted to list the 20 in order. He has Ty Cobb, Ed die Collins and Joe DIMaggio just that way for his first three chap ters, But that couldn't possibly be his rating because chapter 20 is about Ted Williams. Meany lists the hitters alphabetically. Between the four maulers mentioned are Jimmy Foxx, Lou Gehrig, Harry Heilmann, Rogers Hornsby, Shoe less Joe Jackcon, Ralph Kiner, Nap Lajoie, Stan Musiai; Mel Ott, Babe Ruth, Al Simmons, George Sisler, Tris Speaker. Bill Terry, Honus Wagner and Paul Waner. Meany spent some time talking to baseball's best minds before settling on his list of 20. "There were many borderline cases," - as Branch Rickey would say, and does. However, it is apparent to the naked eye that Meany disregard ed any Hall of Fame list in reach ing; his analysis. Cf the great hit ters he picks, only nine are in Cooperstown's shrine, They are Cobb, Colling, Gehrig, Hornsby, Lajoie, Sisler, Speaker, Ruth and Wagner. DiMaggio, Kinor, Musiai and Williams, all being very much ac tive, will be in the Hall of Fame at a later date. Right now they are ineligible. That takes care of 13 names The others Foxx, Heilmann, Jack son, Ott, Simmons, Terry and P. Wagner are not in the Hall of Fame. They have- drawn, with the exception of Ott, only scattered votes from the baseball writers eligible to vote each winter. Of course, some of the seven omitted have two strikes against them, like Shoeless Joe Jackson of Black Sox fame, and Terry. FOUR CAPTAINS STATE COLLEGE, Pa (API Four sport team captains hold down positions 'on the 1950 Penn State baseball team. The four are Dick Wertz, baseball; Joe Tocci, basketball; Harry Little, soccer, and Owen Dougherty, football. The first three are infielders. Dough erty is an outfielder. Bounty System For Game Pests Controversial AP Newsfeatures How'd you like to start a real lively discussion next time the boys start talking game manage ment? Just say something about how the conservation program might be a sight better off if we forgot all about paying bounties for pred ators.. ; Then run like everything. For years and years county and local governments right along with the state have paid out good money for bounties. And about the only one to benefit to any extent is the professional bounty hunter. When a state's lianie managers once fight free of the system, they often are legislated back as Wis consin was in 1943 and Michigan two years ago. In the ttrst place, our know! edge of what constitutes a danger ous predator is not exact. And our ideas have been changing rapidly in recent years. Lately there are men of good sense who hold that a normal balance of predators is necessary to accomplish the sani tary culling of the dull witted and unfit among game species. Predators may be cyclic anyway, following the cycles of their fav orlte prey. This is the theory; If all the bounty money were spent on providing additional food and cover for game, what would happen? Well, when the food and cover became fully adequate for the game density on lands involv ed, there wouldn't be "any great need for predator control except on a spot basis. Of course, adequate cover and plentiful food are essential to such a program. Game that is forced into the open to obtain nourish ment is easy prey and encourages predators. If we just stopped pay ing bounties and didn't spend money for habitat improvement and didn't encourage sportsmen to watch danger areas, the creatures of prey would wax and flourish and the game population might go to pot for sure in those areas. But if we could build a long range spending program of these funds, and encourage such off-sea son sports as crow and fox hunt ing a changeover to a system with at least some promise of develop ment would be possible. Which of course calls to mind the old saying,, that if you took the bounty predators and put them on the protected list with a short a nd highly restricted season, every- Doay ana 111s brother would be out to hunt them for fun.
