Hickory took the Mountaineers
8-1 here June 30 in the first game
of the best-of-thr^ first round
elimination series.
In the finale, Kings Mountain
jumped off to a one-run lead In
the opening frame on hits by Bob
Wilson, a double, and Carl Bar
nette. But the Mountaineers
couldn't bring any more runners
around off Big Jim Stlmpson the
rest of the way, getting only two
hits after the first frame.
Bethware's Ralph Hord gave
up nine hits to Hickory ovter th6
route . but stellar defensive play
In .the infield kept the winners
from scoring more than,, three
runs.
In the first, the winners put
five men on base but failed to
score. Slpes led off with a single
but was forced at second by Brid
ges, Bobby Webster to Wlnfred
White. Colvert was safe on an
error at short , and Watts walked
to load! the sacks. Storey ground
led hard to Hord, who threw the
runner out at home for the se
cond out. With the sacks still full,
Hord let go with a wild pitch but
Catcher Barnette recovered the
ball and threw . to Hord at the
plate for the filial out.
Hord gave up a double and a
single to opfen the second but
threw the lead runner out at
third on a dribbler, struck out
Pitcher Stlmpson on a full count
and forced the next man to fly
to center.
An error after two were out j
produced Hickory's first run in
the third, Storey lacing a higb
triple Into left center to plate the
tally.
In the fourth, Hickory loaded
the bases again, on an error, a
walk and a bunt single, with no
outs. Hord seopped up a hot
grounder, threw to Bamette w*io
got the runner at first for a dou
ble play, and struck out the last
man to bar Hickory from the
plate.
In the fifth. Shortstop Webstter
went high to take a hard liner to
retire the first hitter. Hord struck
out the second hitter but Storey
came through again, this time
with a double. Webster retired
thfe final batter on a nice play
from short.
Hord retired the side in order
in the sixth but weakened in the
seventh. He allowed a leadoff sin
gle and struck out the next hitter
after wild-pitching thfe ruhner to
second. Barnette mis-played a
high foul by Coivert and the big
first sacker came through with a
single to put Hickory ahead. Col
vert took second on the throw-in
and scored on a single by Watts.
Storey forced a runner at second
ahd Hord caught a high fly to
fend the frame- Hord finished
strong, retiring the side in order
in the eighth. '
In the opening game, Jerry
Greene of Shelby allowed Hic
kory only five hits and walked
only two hitters but errors by
his teammates, 10 in all, aided the
winner's cause. Greene, only 14
and starting his first Legion
game, was released to Kings
Mountain by the Shelby juniors.
The Mountaineers were weak
at the plate, getting only two
hits off Lefty Jack Curtis. Curtis
had 22 strike outs and walked
four. Mearl Valentine lined out
a hit in the third to spoil Curtis'
no-hit bid and Hord got one in

Gome next year, or the year alter that,
yonll be seeing on other ears tome of the
styling feature* yon tee in Buiek today.
We expeot it It has happened before. And
there ia good reason for it ? popular appeal.
Take, for example, the ear model shown
here.
We call it a Riviera. Moat people oall it
a "hardtop."
When Buiek introduoed this body type in
1949, it was a completely new thing. And
it was an instisut hit.
Today, Buiok "hard tops" outsell all other
models in the line. It's the styling America
has taken to Its heart.

For you can be sure that the great pano

year will be copied. It's too good to paaa up.
And you ean be sure that the fall rear-wheel
cutout now on every 1954 Buiek Riviera and
Convertible will show up elsewhere in the
future. It's a sports-car tench that hits a
reaDy popular note.
W. 're sure ot such things.
