Cr:rl Lib Gault srt One can leave Kings Mountain at 8:00 in the morning and get into Atlanta in plenty of time to secure a good seat and in plenty of time to go out and get a bite to eat and back to the ball park in time to watch the two teams lake infield practice and then swing into action at 1:15. The Braves, who were Monday morning tied for third in the National League standings, have one of — if not the nicest — stadium’s in major league baseball and also one of the finest teams. It’s well worth a three-hour drive to see them play.
