Sports Review By Porter Griggs BASEBALL? The Marble Blues j ate the team looking good among the Cherokee county baseball teams this week. Not only are they standing in first place in the lea gue; they are leading all teams in the county in team batting with a fat 417 average James (Red) Cof fey is leading the attack making good on 14 of 23 tries for an amazing .609 average. Seven of the Marble players are batting above the .300 mark, and if that isn't beating the majors, there just aren't any majors. Murphy Mountaineers aren't do ing so bad themselves as they have a team batting of about 300 Fow ler is the most impressive of the i Mountaineers to date as he is batt ing 367. He is leading in homers and does not have many errors to his credits. The biggest blow came to the Mountaineers last Sunday when Hemphill, starting shortstop, was injured. It was learned, however, that he will be back in the start ing lineup in about two weeks. The Murphy high Bulldogs in bowing to Andrews wa.s the most impressive of the season. Bill (Coach1 Lovingood pitched a nea two hitter and lost a 3 to 2 low scoring contest. Hughes is leading the batting average followed by Brandon and Brendle.
