Canton Here On Friday For A Return Game With Mountaineers | Bears Seek Revenge For j Lone Defeat Unless the weatherman inter venes. the W'aynesvllle Mountaineer baseball team will play their top home game of the season here Fri day afternoon when they meet the revenge - seeking Canton Black Bears in a return match of the two strong county rivals. The game starts at 3:15. The Mountaineers won their lat est game Tuesday when they wal loped the Clyde Cardinals at Clyde, 15-3 The W|ynesvillf-Canlon game here tomorrow shapes up as some thing of a grudge game because the Black Bears were undefeated and leading the Blue Ridge Conference before they were dumped uncere moniuosly last Friday on their home grounds by the underdog Mountaineers. 11-t. Not only did Waynesville win, but the Gold and Black sluggers blasted ace southpaw Sonny War den out of the box in the third in ning and kept his relief pitcher, Dewayne Milner. in hot water for the remainder of the contest. All in all, the Mountaineers got a total of 14 hits in the game?probably more than Warren and Milner have given UP to all their other oppon ents combined. However, despite the fact that WTHS came out victorious last week, the Black Bears probably will be favored to even up the count here Friday since the bruins will be all out to avenge the sole black mark on their '56 record. Since their loss last week. Can ton has blanked Bethel, 8-0. and was leading Lee Edwards of Ashe ville, 8-0, Wednesday afternoon when the game was called in the fourth inning on account of rain. Warren was on the mound against the Maroona and had given up only ? 1 " '? ; one hit when the rains came. He had already struck out eight bat ters. , George Mitchell, who beat the Black Bears at Canton, will again pitch foe Waynesville, but it has not been announced yet whether Warren or Milner will be on the mound for the visitors.
