Pat’s Peckings By NEALE PATRICK Stacked Teams Pace Area Jr. Race Short takes from the whirl of sports . . . and the sum mer baseball season is moving right along when you note the fact that Area Four American Legion junior teams complete their first-round league schedules this week . . . Elimination series will begin separating the “men from the boys” next week. Then we will learn if Charlotte’s Post 9 and Lincoln ton-Cherryville are as powerful as they have appeared at times during the league race ... It is no secret that both teams are stacked outfits, thanks to the careful manipu lations and recruiting by officials at the sponsoring Legion posts. The Line-Cherries have rounded up the top talent from Southwest Conference prep champion Cherryville and a contending Lincolnton High team, and folks around Cherryville are talking the same language they did in the national tournament season of 1953 . . . Ronnie Hovis of Cherryville and Donnie Carrigan of Lincolnton give the L-C boys two top pitchers . . . Other such names as Steve Watts, Lester and Johnny Jenkins and Jerry Lail from Cherryville and Bobby Beal and Worth Roberts from Lin colnton round-out the well-balanced outfit . . . Pitching has been particularly potent for the Line-Cherries with a couple of one-hitters, a stretch of 24 consecutive scoreless innings and an average of about 15 strikeouts per game by the mound staff. Charlotte Post 9, likewise, is loaded with a host of players who already claim one national title to their credit . Many of the Charlotte lads played on the national champion Babe Ruth League team two years ago and by one manner or another have been reassembled for the Legion club . . . Leo Black who coached that Babe Ruth team also is at the helm of the juniors, and one of his stars is his son, Gary . . . The ace pitcher of the BRL team, Jer ry Maye, also is a Legion star now on the club recruited from three Charlotte schools, Garinger, Harding and Cath olic'. . . Some Post 9 Legionaires have been attempting to assemble this junior team for two years, but were blocked by school enrollments . . . Now they have managed to get the Babe Ruth stars back together again and they pose a threat to Area Four baseball. Rain Throws Curve - Ball At Juniors Card Pupil Powell Beats Prof Pop Kings Mountain’s juniors started slovvely, but sudden ly caught fire and have been the hottest item in the area recently, notably in the five straight wins last week The victories boosted the local lads into second place in the chase . . . The team has been getting the same type of sharp pitching shown last year by Bobby Biddix and Jerry Wright . . . Now its three more hard-throwing right-hand ers, Ken Wilson, Ernest McCarter and Punch Parker . . . And the club also resembles last summer’s club with the occasional big inning . . . Business has really picked up for Legion baseball here. The current K. M. club also has that battling na ture of never-say-die, as witnessed in the consecutive night victories over Mt. Holly and Shelby last week.. . The local lads won both those identical 8-7 games with rallies which started after the first two batters were retired, and the very next night, KM started the winning rally against Belmont with one out in the ninth. It might be noted, too, that the win over Shelby was a memorable one for Bill Powell ... It was a case of the “pu pil” (Powell) beating his “teacher” (Pop Simmons) in their first Legion junior baseball meeting . . . Powell, you know, played for Simmons early in the year of the 1945 na tional title season at Shelby . . . And teacher and pupil have met many times in the Cleveland County baseball circuit . . . But last Tuesday night’s game was the first time the two had met, officially, in the Legion ranks . . . The clubs did play a pair of exhibitions before the sea son, but the results did not count in season’s records. Did you realize, too, that the win over Shelby here last week marked the fifth straight time in the past year that Kings Mt. prep baseball teams have whipped arch ri val Shelby? . . . The local juniors beat Shelby two straight last summer, and the high school Mountaineers duplicated the feat this spring . . . And now the string stretches out to five in a row. Bethware, Grover Would Suffer Just a thought in passing, if the Kings Mountain sch . ool consolidation does materialize next year, the athletic programs in the Cleveland County Conference will be sli ghtly jumbled-up. For instance, if the present injunction blocks the con solidation of Grover and Bethware with Kings Mt. High, the two county schools will be on their own, athletically, next year and be at a ‘disadvantage against rival county schools . . . Other county schools in the old Cleveland circuit will be consolidated into three units next year, thus will field strong athletic teams drawn from three schools each . . . Bethware and Grover, meanwhile, would be com peting against those teams while drawing students from their own school, only. Kings Mountain’s pair of football boys in South Caro lina schools are back in summer school after short vaca tions here following the spring term . . . Ken Baity is at tending the summer session at Sopth Carolina, and Keith Layton is at the Citadel for summer work . . . Layton had only a brief stay at home after playing in the NCAA base ball event at Gastonia. Coach Fred Withers reports that officials were so well pleased with the East-West all-star baseball game at Greenville a couple of weeks ago that they are now plan ning a three-game series for the future . . . “They feel that the boys will have a better chance toplay and display their talent for the major league scouts and college coaches,” re vealed Withers. Incidentally, both of the pitchers from the immediate Kings Mountain area carried impressive high school and Legion records to the all-star contest . . . Bobby Biddix of Bethware and K. M. juniors compiled a prep record of 30 wins and 12 losses, a 27-2 mark in Bethware High and a 12 10 record in two years with the KM juniors . . . Jerry Wri ght claimed identical records of nine wins and five losses in Kings Mt. High and local Legion seasons. He pitched three years in high school, two in legion. For the records, too, Jerry Morris clubbed the ball at a .536 pace for Bethware High this spring, with Bobby Bid dix hitting at even .500 ... A couple of local junior out fielders also compiled big bat marks for the Bucs, Tommy Barrett .400 and Lawrence Bolin .347. G..J Kings Mt. Second In League Hace Plays At Shelby Satuidav Night Jerry Morris, Tommy Barrett Lead Jr. Bats Jerry Morris and Tommy Bar rett, a pair of baseball products from Bethware High School, are seating the batting pace for the Kings Mountain juniors in the final week of Ithe first-round of action. The pair of former Buccaneers have identical stick records of .345 average, compiled with ten hits in 29 trips to the plate. The leadership is “old hat” to Morris who led the local kids with the bat last season with a .390 figure. He fell below that 1959 figure during a recent slump, but he snapped out of the doldrums with a pair of knocks here Saturday night against Charlotte Post No. 262. Morris and Barrett’s batting figures edge a couple of other three-hundred hitter through the first eight games of the season. The averages are computed through last Saturday night’s contest the laits game the juniors have played. Ernest McCarter, double-duty performer on the mound and at fiirstbase, is hitting .333 and Ja mes Robbs knocking at .324. They are (the only players ov er the .300 bat figure. Robbs has another distinction on the season, being the only lo cal batter to hit safely in each of the first eight games. His teammate, from Kings Mt. High, Ronnie Pearson, has been consis tent in the run-making depart ment. He has scored a run in ev ery game ... no more, no less, but one run per contest. McCarter leads the team in j runs batted in, with eight. Mar- j ris and Robbs are the extra blow leaders, Jerry with three doubles and James with two doubles and I a triple. McCarter has banged the! season’s lone home. Kenny Wilson and Punch Par ker have won two straight games each to lead in the pitching de partment. Both of Wilson’s vic tories have been route-going per formances, with Parker pitching' the distance in his only start. McCarter and Lefty Barry Gib son have claimed one win each, and each has lost one.

Moose, Rebels Scrap To Tie In Pony Opener Defending champion Moose c>nd Rebels battled to a 9-all tie in the opening game of the Kings Mountain Pony League Monday afternoon. Rain halted the game in the top of the seventh inning after Rebels had scored six runs, but the score reverted to the end of a full six innings, thus washing-out the big rally by Rebels. Recreation director Charles Helms said that the game will be made up at a later date. Rain and wet grounds washed out the other opening round game, Tuesday, between Mauney and IMargrace. Wednesday’s game pitted Moose against Mar grace, and on Thursday Rebels play Mauney. One game is sche duled each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday after 1 noon at 4 o'clock at the baseball field at the Deal Street Recrea tion Center. Eddie Robbs paced the Rebels’ hitting in the opener, with a tri ple and single. The other Rebels hits were contributed by Jerry Loekridge, Trip Neisler, Brent McDaniel and Hubert McGinnis. Five batters shared the hitting honors for Moose — Henry Hil lard, Mike Tignor, Bubbles Pear son, Chip McGinnis and Mike Ballard. Eddie Huffstetler drew four straight walks for Moose, and scored three runs. Huff pitched the route for Moose, fanning nine. Loekridge and Goforth divided the mound chores for Rebels, striking out seven. Linescore: 'Is 004 221-9-5-3 Moose 330 111-9-5-2 Loekridge, Goforth and Spen cer; Huff and McGinnis. i Rain threw a curve ball at the Kings Mountain junior schedule this week. Heading down the home stre tch in ithe final week of the first round action, the league’s sec ond-place local juniors had two games washed out, at Belmont on Monday night and at Gaston ia on Tuesday. (Local ofnciais were uncertain whether either of the games will be made up. Thursday is the de signated make-up night for ga mes rained out early in the week, but bath the Belmont and Gas tonia parks are scheduled by other teams on Thursday even ing. The Area tour race is sche duled to end Saturday night, but Commissioner John Yandle of Charlotte told Belmont athletic officer Marion Hunter in a tele phone conversation Monday that he might extend the first-round a few days next week in order that teams coTlld complete their schedule. Originally the eliminations were due to get underway Mon day. Yandle is expected to call an Area Four meeting Sunday to formulate plans for extending the first round schedule and set up the slate for the eliminations'-. Coach Bill Powell’s red-hot Kings Mit juniors have one more game on the card this week, at Shelby on Satur&ay night. The local kids have a bye on Friday night, tout can mat make up eith er of the washed out games due to all other clubs in the circuit being scheduled far that night. The Kings Mt. lads were sche duled to play Charlotte Post 9-380 Wednesday night in the scrap between the top two teams in League A of Area Four. , Charlotte went into the game with nine straight wins, and Kings Mt. had a 6-2 record, in cluding the last five in a row. The Mounties Started the win ning Streak after losing to the Charlotte outfit, 18-5 a couple of weeks ago. Wildness by a trio of Kings Mt. pitchers proved the downfall for the locals in that loss.

Owens with a 185 line and Albert Brackett with a 501 series topped the Lucky Strikes in scoring. The victories enabled the Strikes to maintain their lead over second-place Trouble Shooters. The Trouble Shooters, however, trimmed a game off the lead, winning three straight from King Pins. Boyce Wells led the win ners with saotres of 178 line and 474 sett. «Rannie Blanton’s 172 game and Clyde Culbertson’s 451 set led King Pins.

Three Sharp Mound Performances Wrap-Up Juniors Impressive Week Kings Mountain was the hot test team in Area Four American Legion junior baseball last week. The Otis D. Green Post 155 kids swept to five straight vic tories during the week, scoring four of the wins here at City Sta dium, and coun'tirtg among their triumphs two over defending champion Mt. Holly-Pawcreek. Three consecutive complete pitched games closed out the im pressive week, right-handers Punch Parker, Ernest McCarter and Kenny Wilson all going the distance in hurling the wins. Parker, making his first mound start of the year, started the pro cession of fine pitching, limiting Belmont to six hits and fanning 14 in a 3-2 win here Wednesday night. McCarter hurled a four hitter alt Mt. Holly on Friday night, and a 5-1 victory. The York lad whif fed eight. Wilson gave up only five hits here Saturday night in a 7-3 win over Charlotte Post 262. He struck out 12. The impressive string of pitch ing, thus, showed the three right ies allowing only 15 hits, six runs and fanning 34 in the trio of wins. The wins further strengthened Kings Mountain’s hold on second place in the League A race, and, in fact, ia.ll but clinched at least a runner-up post for the opening round. COMEBACK VICTORY Another of Kings Mountain's patented comeback .rallies notch ed the victory over Belmont here last Wednesday night to Start the string. Despite Parker’s fine mound work, the local lads went into the last of the ninth trailing 2-1, and things remained dark when the leadoff batter fanned. But Donnie McDermid spruced things up with a single, Parker walked and Billy Dover singled to load the sacks. Pinch hitter Larry Pearson grounded back to the pitcher, Ronnie Robinson, and he heaved the ball away at home, permitting McDermid and Parker to romp home with the ty ing and winning runs. Kings Mountain also waited until two were away before scor ing the first run in the opening frame. With two out, Ron Pear son was hit by a pitched ball, and Jerry Morris and Bud San ders walked, and Pearson scored on a passed ball. Parker overpowered Belmont’s batters with 14 whiffs, including at least one every inning and every batter in the lineup except Jimmy Kirkman. Punch whiffed the side in the second. BEAT HOLLIES AGAIN Kings Mountain opened up with a rush at Mit. Holly on Fri day night with two runs in the first frame and those tallies pro ved enough for McCarter in his first route-going performance. Tommy Barrett opened with a walk and on a hit and run play scored all the way from first on a single by James Robbs, who la ter scared the other run on an error. Singles by Pearson and San ders and another error handed KM another in the third. Singles by McCarter, Barrett and Robbs j notched two more in -the sixth. McCarter carried a shutout into j the ninth when a couple of sin gles produced the run. AVENGE DEFEAT The local lads avenged their ; opening loss of the season, whip ping Charlotte Post 262 here Sat | urday night. Kings Mt used a six-run ex plosion in the third inning and t ight pitching by Wilson to score the win. Our side managed only two ! hits in the big frame, but one of the blows was the first homer of - the season for a Kings Mt batter, an inside the park round-tripper | by McCarter with two aboard, climaxing the inning. Three walks, an error and a single by Morris proceeded the clout by McCarter. The York boy’s blow went over the right-fielders head and hop ped into the hedge alongside the fence. Before the fielder could re trieve the ball, McCarter circled the sacks. Wilson had trouble only in the seventh when he allowed three hits and all of the Charlotte runs. He stifled a threat in the ninth after A1 Barnett led off with a triple. But Wilson fanned two batters and caused the other to pop up.
