Coach Poindexter said that many
of the new stadium seats will be
completed in time for this game.
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.

red fox, sly quarry of tbe hunters'

'52 Champs
Out To Stop
Canton's
Victories
The top-flight game of the week
in the Blue Ridge Conference will
be at. 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.

Fight Could Be Another Stinker
By FRANK ECK
AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor
NEW YORK ? 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. (AP) _ The
new $200,000 city jail in this At
lanta suburb is so inviting in ap
pearance that tourists sometimes
stop and seek accommodations,
thinking it is a hotel.
Police Chief William H. Taylor
.helped design the posh calaboose
and is mighty proud of it but he
wants to scotch orfe report that's
gotten around. It's not air-condi
tioned.
"I wish it was," adds Taylor,
whose offices are in the jail.
