Pitcher's Thrills K - - By KEN RAFFENSBERGER Cincinnati Reds In the last four years I've had four one-hitters. Thoy stand out with me. But there's one game I'll always remember. It was against the Cubs in Chi cago in 1951. It was the closest I ever came to a no-hit game in the big leagues. Eddie Miksis led off in the fourth inning and beat out a slow roller to third base. Bobby Adams made a fine play and Miksis just did beat his throw to first base. On the other hand, if Adams had let the ball roll it would have been foul. But I guess he figured he could make the play'and get Miksis. In a similar situation I might have made the same play. I faced only 28 men in that game. One Cub reached first on an error but he was erased on a double play. Cincinnati won the game. 7-0. In 1949 I had two one-hitters against the Cardinals. In St. Louis. Marty Marion singled through the box. On Labor Day that year in Cincinnati, Nippy Jones of the Cards hit a line drive to center field with one out in the eighth in ning.

FQXy SITUATION SOLVED JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (API? Foxhunters and foxes got a break when Missouri's Gov. Phil M. Don nelly'vetoed a bounty bill.

The red fox, sly quarry of tbe hunters' sounds, is the one that lives in the farming areas and grabs off a lot of poultry. Tbe governor said It looked like discrimination to him. So he set tled it by vetoing the measure. IN* Ada bring quick res alia COVERED BRIDGES GOING STRONG COLUMBUS, O. (AP)?Ohio has exactly 332V* covered bridges.

Canton Friday night, when the 1952 Champions from Brevard meet the Black Bears. The two teams are primed for this important contest in the Blue Ridge record books, and fans will i get football on top of football when Coach Don Hipps pits his Black! Bears against Coach Dail's Blue Devils. The Black Bears have a perfect season with a 19-6 victory over Asheville High, and a 44-6 score over Sand Hill. The Blue Devils trimmed the Black Mountain Darkhorses 13-6 in their opener, and on their- second game, played to a scoreless tie against Sand Hill. Since the Bears and Devils play ed Sand Hill just a week apart, many fans foresee a walk-away for Canton on Friday. The Black Bear coaches, however, share the opinion of observers who saw the Sand Hill Brevard game, and said the Comets did not play and display the same kind of power against Canton which they showed time and time again against Brevard the week before. L,asi weeK wnile Canton was run ning roughshod over Sand Hill, the Brevard Blue Devils were trounc ing the Hendersonvllle Bearcats 21-7. ' The Black Bears will have Carp enter in full swing along with the entire squad because they came through the Sand Hill game in good shape and without injuries. Brevard is out to capture their championship award for the second consecutive year, and for that reas on will come to Canton on Friday loaded and primed to topple the Black Bears from their record winning streak of the season. Last year Brevard upset Canton. The Blue Devils have one man that has proven he has the ability to match play for play with Black Bear Carpenter. If Bishop is not bottled up, and McCreary's pitch ing blocked, the combination can prove interesting competition against the Carpenter and-Charles Wilson pair for the Black Bears. Bishop has the speed of Car penter and a little more weight. He snatches passes rather than toss them like "Chuckin" Charlie. A large crowd of Waynesvllle fans are expected to see the game, because on October second, Canton and Waynesvllle meet, and on Oc tober 23rd. the Monutaineers tangle with the Blue Devils.

When it comes' to heavyweight championship fights there have been some real stink ers?and by the same token there have been some terrific brawls. However, nobody expects this Rocky Marciano - Roland LaStarza fight to be another Dempsey-Firpo skirmish. They fought 30 years ago in the Polo Grounds where the Dodgers last met the Giants. It may not even come up to the re cent Leo Durocher-Carl Furillo bat tie in which no blows were struck yet the Dodgers right fielder left the arena with a broken bone in his left hand. International Boxing Club offi cials, headed by President Jim Nor ris, predict 40,000 fans will pay more than $400,000. They also pre dict, almost to a man, that LaStarza will win, or at least put up a good showing. This attitude apparently is meant to steam up trade among open minded fans who have become fight conscious from watching televised fights. This fight will not be broad cast or televised by the networks. The IBC, on the other hand, appears to have been a bit wary about this fight for it set $30 as the top for ringside seats. Only seven years ago the Louis-Conn fi asco commanded interest at $100 a ringside seat. The last time ? March 24, 1950 ??Marciano beat LaStarza ringside seats in Madison Square Garden were $10. There was no title at stake then but both heavyweights were unbeaten, Rollie having won 37 in a row and Rocky 27, all but two by knockouts. BEAUTIFUL JAIL EAST POINT. Ga.
