Gecrge, a IDo-pounder, was All- C’cnference and his loam’s most \aluoi)li; player.

Mounties Return Next Tuesday At Cherryville Church League Season Opens Lop ■ sick'd scores highlighted opening night action in Church ; League solUiall play at Dc'aij Slivei Park Tuesday night. Allen Memorial went on the bigggest run-scoring spree, whip ping First Wesleyan by a 15-5 Gastonia Gazette, I scheduled an interview with a Hickory American Legion baseball player who was wearing out Area Four pitchers after a brilliant year with the Uni versity oi North Carolina freshman team. His name was Glenn Jai;rett and the 18-year-old out fielder just happened to have a famous dad, Ned Jarrett- of NASCAR fame. I had called Ned at his Ilickoi'y Speedway office the day before and sclieduled the interview. As Glenn and his Hickory teammates went through batting practice be fore the game, Ned and I chatted outside of Sims Legion Park in Gastonia. The conversation naturally turned from baseball to auto racing and the former Giand National cliampion said his oldest son, Glenn, had never been interested in racing and he doubted if he ever would be. Later, when Glenn came over, I asked him about what his father had said and he stunned papa Nc'd \Ahcn he said he'd like very mucli to take up tlie sport of auto racing. The next summer Glenn started running hobby cars at Hickory Speedway tind last Saturday night stepped behind the wheel of his first sportsman’s car. The talk from Hickory was that the young Jarrett, will be assisted in- Glenn Wilsrin now a UNC grad and working for Ned Jan’etl Enterprises cf Taykmsville. in Conover, was looking good before wrecking late in the race. After listening to 17-year-old Richie Panch, son ol former NASCAR great Marvin Panch, make his super- speedway debut in the Rebel 500 at Darlington Sunday, 1 wondered how much longer it would be before Glenn Jarrett made his big step. It shouldn't be too long. And, papa Ned said it would never happen. Sisk Redshirled By Richardson A letter from Ray Sisk of kore. , Columbia. S.
