Shoe Shop SWANNANOA Sports Chatter } 4 Ry GENE BYRD ; j ——— o W ell at last I got to see our local representatives play in the Moore General Softball League. I would like to venture the humble opinion that we have a good entry. As a matter of fact the boys lost to the Swannanoa team by the score of 13-9, but they were lead ing until a succession of walks, er rors and hits made one inning a nightmare in which Swannanoa scored most of her runs. Until he hit a wild streak and at the same time received a little faulty support, Stevenson, local pitcher looked like a million dollars. (I ought to get a quarter from that plug, Ev.) His work is backing up not only his basemen but also the catcher on one occasion was outstanding. “Chuck” Woodside made one beautiful play on a line drive by the opposing shortstop that appeared to be well above his head. “Chuck” soared into the air caught the ball, and then came down looking around to see where the ball was. Norman Harris playing for the first time with the local team showed ability in going back un der flies from his second base position. Manager Rudisill cover ed lots of ground at short and showed stuff as a relief pitcher. Brittain, leftfielder, made some nice catches and hit well. Medford is really a pepperpot catcher and throws well to the bases. The team has a brother combination Glen Fortune playing first and Cecil playing centerfield. (A team with two ‘‘Fortunes” should be consi dered wealthy.) Carroll Stevens did’nt get to display the savage hitting that he is capable of and was replaced late in the game by Eugene An derson who I didn’t know was a ballplayer but who looked quite at home. In regards to the veteran’s base ball team that has been proposed Norman Harris is to attend a meet ing Wednesday evening to see that Black Mountain’s chances are for getting a berth in the league either this half or next. The chances are better for entry in the second half since several games would have to make up in the first half. The American League lost two of its better known pilots last week when “Marsh Joe” McCarthy of the Yankees and Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox resigned. A well known sports commentator in sists that they resigned under pres sure. They were replaced by two of the most popular men in base ball, Bill Dickey and Ted Lyons. Dickey has long been a fixture of Murderer’s Row for the Yankees and was the late Lou Gehrig’s room-mate. Lyons never had ex perience in minor league hall, go ing straight from the campus of Baylor to the White Sox. Past forty he is still an effective pit cher but plans to be a bench man ager. Speaking of Dykes makes us think of the days when the Phila delphia Athletics ruled the roost before the venerable Connie Mack for the second time in his career broke up a world’s championship combination. Let’s see If we can recall some of the players on that famous team of ‘29, '3O, and3l. You’ll probably have to help me, fans. Cochrane was the catcher Grove, Walberg, Earnshaw and Ehmke were the outstanding pit chers, Jimmy Foxx played first base and Dykes played third, but who played short and second? Seems like a guy named Boley played short. In the outfield were A1 Simmons and Mule Haas, but who was the other man? How about a little help sport fans? There is a rumor that Norman Harris may go to Carolina instead of Duke. You remember that Billy Britt and Charley Justice have both enrolled at Chapel Hill, and Norman used to be their block ing back at Asheville High School. (Incidently, one of the best in the Carolinas at the job. Answers to last weeks quiz: Ruth was playing with the Bos ton Braves in the National League when he retired. 2.

Local Team Encounters League Leaders 0 The Black Mountain “Black Hawks” will encounter the league leading Post Engineers in the fea ture game at Moore General to night. They will encounter Duty offi cers on Friday. At present the “Black Hawks” have a record of three wins and three losses. The remarkable thing is that each game they have outhit their op ponents. “Blackhawks” Suffered Their Third Defeat o The Black Mountain “Black hawks” suffered their third straight defeat last Friday, in the Moore General Hospital Inter- Unit League, when they lost to Swannanoa by a score of 13-9. Black Mountain apparently had the game in the bag until Swan nanoa exploded with a six-run rally in the first half of the sev enth climaxed by Sides home run with the bases loaded. Black Mountain scored five runs in the second inning as a result of successive singles by Fortune, Stevenson, Woodside, and two Swannanoa errors- They tallied two more in the fourth when G. Fortune singled and C. Foster homered. The box score: Black Mountain Ab. R. H. Rudisill, ss. p 5 2 2 Woodside, 3b 4 2 1 Brittain, If 4 11 Stevens, rs 4 0 0 Harris, 2b 4 0 0 Medford, c 4 0 y G.
