Sport Shots BY CHARLES CARPENTER It .looked like a good many Kings Mountain football fans "took the lid aff'hi st Saturday night at the Charlotte Clippers-New York Yan kees game in Charlotte. The Yanks won 42 to 7. We saw a good many on the scene and heard of many more that at tended. It was a pretty good ball game too. Our Clippers, of course, weren't in the same class as their higher-, paid rivals but that quick Clipper touchdown (on 5 plays) really start- [ ed the Yankees roiling. They could, not take a chance after that. The Yankees rolled. on a well-oiled "T" formation. It looked as if the tackles and guards were just about as fast as the backs. - W ? Baseball is, still going strong with ?everal penant fights still to be de- ! cided. . | In the Western Carolina league, : Newton -Cono ver sewed up the flag last Friday night, beating Hender- j eonville while Rutherfordton cqunty was downing Lincoln-ton in a 12 inning thriller. Morgan ton clinched fourth place on "the same night. RC Owls had al ? ready sewed up third. In the majors both pennants are Btill in doubt, on Tuesday at least. The Brooklyn Dodgers are trying |o catch the front-running St. Louis Cardinal in the National. The amazing New York Yankees are fighting off a drive by the Bos ton Red Sox, who are hot on their : pecks, and the Cleveland. Indians. , The Detroit Tigers kre still in the| contending also. The leaders on Labor Day? The! Yankees and the Cards, both by 1V4 i games-^-are supposed to take th* ! flags, leastwise, during the past 1<J yeai? they have coped 75 percent of the time.

No coaches had been secured for that group at that time. At the rest of the schools, drills were underway. At West school, Coaches Bob Neill and Pink Ware were well underway. At Pai-k-Grace where Rhea Barber has been condi tioning the boys for around a week. Coaches Red Fulkerson and Jim Gibson took over reins. Coaches Bill Harmon and Bob Huffstetler were getting into the swing at Central. The coaches are going to be in full charge of the teams but they may want help from time to time. In terested persons who want to help might ask if they're needed but, and this is strictly a Sportshots it quest, don't try your hand at coach ing the kids unless the coach asks your help. It looks like the kids and the coaches will thave lots of fun with the program this year. Everybody connected with the program is going to insist on good sportsmanship and teaching of sound fundamentals and not so much the winning of games. After about three years of the pro gram, the results should show on the high schodl teams. The high schools coaches will have around 88 j "veteran" players from the program | who have graduated to high school, i Of course next . year the eighth j graders will be in. high school and j will definitely increase the drawing j potential there. And plenty of 9th j and 10th graders will be returning from the 1949 football squad. ? mla ? We don't recall if Qur Major Lea guer Jake Early has ever been thrown out of a ball game. It's a wonder he wasn't given the toss by Umpire Cal Hubbard in a game between the Senators and the Yankees last Saturday at Washing ton. The Play involved The Yankee Clipper, Jolting Joe DiMaggio, and Catcher Early in a play at home on which, so' the sportswriters ver sion goes, DiMag failed to tag home on a slide that took him over the plate but he crawled back to touch up. A four-column action picture of the play in Sunday's New York Tim es clearly Shows Early, in a long stretching horizontal position, put ting the tag on DiMag, who is into his slide considerably off the plate. Our guess is that Hubbard was wrong. (No:e ? DiMag's score counted in the record books.) pap |K '?* -Z Couples Bridge Club With C. F. Thomassons Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thomasson were hosts Friday night to members of the Couples Club. Late mixed summer flowers Were used as room decorations.
