Canton Youth To
Play In Pony
Baseball League
Something new is being added to
teen-age bhseball in Canton.
This year, for the first time, rec
reation officials at Champion Y
have announced that they would
inaugurate a Pony League, a league
for boys 13 and 14 years of age.
This league, which is national
in scope, has practically the same
rules as does the Little League.
Sponsors for the league are the
Canton Lions, Civitan, VFW, Y's
Men, ajid Moose Clubs. The Canton
Kiwanis Club will become a spon
sor if one of the other organizations
feels it can no longer be active.
The Little League and the Pony
League will work in close cooper
ation with each other. When a
member of a Little League team
graduates to the higher league he
will play for the same sponsoring
organization.
Jack Justice, recreational direc
tor at Champion YMCA, will be
in charge of the program.
Two Canton Soft
Ball Teams Join
WNC League
Two Canto'" groups entered soft
ball teams in an all-Western North
Carolina league last week.
The teams ? Champion y and
Champion Mills?will join Superior
Cleaners and Anderson-Brown Pat
rol of Asheville, Black Mountain
American Legion, and Cherokee
American Legion, to form the six
team loop.
Jimmy Williamson of Canton,
who has for many years been ac
tive in recreation in that town,
was elected secretary and treas
urer of the league. Nazi Miller,
also of Canton, was appointed in
charge of a committee to draw up
a schedule.
Each team will play one double
header each week, beginning about
May 25.

feed of cotton seed meal, wheat,
etc., and the fish when caught are
just as good as native trout.
The season opens on April 15,
barring a serious threat of forest
fire, and will close on August 31.
A breakdown of the present
stocking program shows that 4,950
brook and 5,750 rainbow are be
ing placed in the streams at the '
present time.
Contrary to popular belief, the
fish will stay fairly close to the
spot where they are planted in the
streams and will not migrate very
far up or down stream. Therefore ;
during the stocking, the rangers i
try to scatter the trout as much as
possible.
Succumbs
- 1
Jim Thorpe, one of the greatest
athletes this nation lias ever pro
duced, died of a heart attack at his
California trailer home Saturday.
Thorpe, an Indian who was born
on a farm in Oklahoma, first gain
ed national prominence while a
student at Carlise Indian School.
He led his little school to many
victories over the larger schools of
the East and was named to Walter
Camp's All - American football
teams in 1911 and If 12.
He also played professional foot
ball and baseball, lasting in the ma
jor leagues for a number of years.
Just two years ago friends learn
ed that the big Indian was down
and out and was a charity patient.
They staged many benefits for him
and Thorpe was soon back on his
feet, this time as part owner of a
California restaurant.
Thorpe was considered by most
sports writers as the top athlete
in this country during this century.
He won both the pentathlon and
the decathlon in the 1912 Olympic
games.

With just four days of practice
left Coach Bruce Jaynes is rapidly
rounding out his starting nine for
the official opening of Waynesville
High School's 19*3 baseball sched
ule. due to start Friday when the
Bethel Demous come here to play
the tirst of two games this year.
During the past two weeks the
Mountaineers have been hampered
somewhat iu their workouts be
cause of undue cold and rainy con
ditions. Sevetherless, enough prac
tice sessions have been held to
give Jayne some idea of the sort
cl' team lie will be fielding Friday.
The squad via- cut several days
ago lo 21 men, two complete teams
and three players who have shown
enough promise to warrant a
berth on the varsity.
Coach Jaynes has not announced
his starting lineup, but it is ex
pected that several of last year's
first tram still have firm grasps on
starting positions. Among them
would he Manuel Hooper catcher;
Wijburn Davis, first base; Tom Cog
dill. shortstop: Joel Burrell, third
base; Bobby Kuykendall and Billy
Leatherwood. pitchers; and Ted
Owen. Jimmy Frady. and Bobby
Joe McClure, outfield.
Owen, who broke his ankle in
the second game last year, joins
Frady and McClure as loading con
tenders for outfield posts. George
Hunt is the leading hustler for the
second base slot.
A twelve-game schedule has I
been arranged, with all teams play- j
ing on a home and home basis; It j
