p © rt r* PAGE |J Edited By John I. Anderson Rambling With The Sports Editor THEY KEEP ON WINNING ... If you’ll notice the bowling story on this page you will discover that the Pisgah Motor court team has won 13 out of the last 14 matches. This within itself [s quite an accomplishment and a record of some sort. No question about it, the competition in the WNC loop this year is stiffer than ever, but the locals are right up there near the top. And the boys say they’re going to stay there. One of the principal factors in the winning combination of the Pisgah team is the fact that all of the bowlers on the team have a good average. Bill Bridges is the top man with an average of 186 plus, and then right together are Tom Conley, Chris Rogers and Bruce Reynolds with 177. Buddy Oates follows next in line with 176. That’s mighty good bowling in any league! * * * * * WAS HIS FACE RED? . . . One afternoon last week Pastor J. Ju lian Holmes was golfing on the local links and was shooting a pretty good round, although his partner, Gil Coan, was having a few fouls every now and then. Along about hole No. 6 when the Parson had just made a good shot and was being congratulated by his colored cad die, the negro boy, who was about as big as the golf bag he was carry ing, turned to the Parson and said: “Mister, if you plays tomorrow, how ’bout me caddying for yu’?” In a most serious manner, Preacher Holmes turned and quickly informed the boy that tomorrow was Sun day and he shouldn’t be out at the golf course. • • * * ATTENTION HUNTERS! ... Of particular interest to hunters in this section is the article on quail in the February Sports Afield mag. It has been the consensus that quail could not be raised prof itably in the deep South, but Davidson explodes this fallacy. If you’re interested, the story is on page 42. Copies of the magazine are on sale at local newsstands, or you can see the one on the desk of The Times sports editor. • * * • CONGRATULATIONS! . . . Followers of Gil Coan are glad to learn that the baseball star has gone into business here and while away from the game, will spend his time in Brevard. Of course, Gil expects to play professional ball for many more years, but he says it’s nice to have something to keep him busy during the winter months. “Hoss” Stamey, who recently signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, is assisting the Washington Senator outfielder and so are Fred Amette and Bobby Mitchem. *. * * * SOME HUNTER . . . The hunter came panting up to one of the party and said, “Just met a great big bear in the woods.” “Good!” said the other. “Did you give him both barrels?” The hunter wiped his perspiring brow. “Both barrels!” he re turned, “I gave him the whole gun!” LET US DO YOUR JOB PRINTING WILDLIFE GROUP WILL MEET HERE THURSDAY NIGHT Club’s Programs To Be Dis cussed; Shoots Are Very Successful There will be an important meeting of the Transylvania wild life club over the city hall Thurs day night, beginning at 8 o’clock.
