SPORTS BRIEFS f • If- > ■■ ■ s.■ • As the baseball season gets under way here we would like to make a plea for fans to be genuine boosters, and to please lay off the youngsters who are lacking in experience. Boos can do irreparable damage to > a young player when he fails to make a play as it should be. The North Wilkesboro club is made up * prlnciydly of youngsters in the first and second years in baseball. From our observation, theTe are several players on the club who can go on up in baseball,- and we want to help them go up. And let us remember that um pires run the ball game, and that is the only way it can be. The umpires are the representatives of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, the backbone of baseball, and must be protected. Often we think an umpire missed a play. Sure, they call 'em wrong sometimes, but there is no other system by which baseball can be run _ than by umpres. League President Judge Bivins thinks he has a capable staff of umps this year. It is part of baseball that impires will receive plenty of boos and be the object of myriads of not too complimentary remarks, but never should fans do any act which might be constructed as violence or dangerous to umpires. It just can't be done and stay in baseball. Any time there is a demonstration against umpires it will cost the home club, possibly with loss of franchise. OBt would be well worth while to remember these facts next time the ump "gets your dander up." o i Most Cleveland County orchardists expect a good fruit crop this year in spite of some damage from freezing weather in March.
