Sports Review
By Porter Griggs
BASEBALL ? The Andrews en
try of the Smoky Mountain league
was seen in play last week by till,
corner for the first time this sum
mer. and Manager Luke Ellis has
an excellent fielding team bir
could do with some good hitters
and a few mound workers. In
Saturday's game with the Marble
Blues. Rhuel Parker pitched thv
Andrews nine to victory but went
on the hill in Sunday's game to
lose a 9 to 8 heart breaker. Par!;
or showed plenty of stuff, but will
have to get just a little rest.
Marble has the hitter^ but fails
to field exactly right at times
Against Murphy, Franklin and
Isabella Marble made many error*
James Red Coffey and Henry
Brasswell are the leading hitters,
and take it from me they can real
ly hit the apple and not for just
one base.
The Mountaineers had a bad
blow this week when the Knox
ville All stars, scheduled for a pair
of games, failed to show up for
either game. Hunt had the scare
of his life against the North
Georgia Trade school but was r"
Jieved in time to let Hughes tak<
credit for the loss. This is th<
first time this season that Hunt
I ;is had to leave a game.
The Bulldogs of Murphy hi^h
.re continuing workouts, and
Coach K. R. 'Dick) Yow is look in
for uames this summer If any h i h
school or American legion team
would like a game they should Kel
ip touch with Coach Yow here in
Murphy Red Coffey of Marble i>
also looking for games for his
Junior Blues at Marble.
