P©RT Q I* A 4. B |J Edited By John I. Anderson Rambling With The j Sports Editor ! GIL COAN GOING GOOD . . . We are giving to our readers a letter recently received from Clearwater, Fla., which should be of intense interest for baseball fans pulling for him to come through this season as he has never done before. The letter, in part, follows: Clearwater, Fla. March 21, 1951 Dear Sir: I’ve read in The Times about Gil Coan and I know how proud ev eryone is of him. I was out to the game yesterday watching Gil play, and believe me, he did so good I thought I would tell you about his performance. First, he made a nice catch in left-center in the first inning. Also in the first inning he got on by an error. Next, in the fourth inning, he got a home run off the slants of Robin Roberts, Philly star pitcher. In the fifth inning he got a single to right field. Next, he got a sin gle in the seventh and again in the ninth he got another single. When you can get that many hits off pitchers of the caliber of Robin Roberts, Jim Konstanty and Blix Donnelly you have really done something. His homer went about 315 feet. The reason I am telling you about him is because my mother is from Brevard and her family lives there now. This coming season Gil should hit about .320, if hard luck doesn’t prevent him from playing regularly. He should lead the American league in stolen bases also. I sure hope that he will have a good year for Washington. The Phillies beat Washington 8-5 in 10 innings. Am enclosing a picture of Gil also. Sincerely yours, JOHN MOUNGRIDES. • • • • PROSPECTS GOOD .... Although it is somewhat early to make any predictions, all indications point to a pretty good baseball team at the Ecusta Paper corporation this year. Ecusta will again be en tered in the Western North Carolina Industrial league, and this sea son games will be played twice each week ... on Tuesday and Satur day afternoons. With the new cellophane division opening up soon, there is the possibility that additional baseball players will come to Ecusta to try out for the team. We’re looking forward to one of Ecu sta’s best seasons! Brevard Bowlers Win, Ecusta Team Rolls High Score As the 1950-’51 bowling season draws to. a close, the Brevard Municipal bowlers trounced Ehtca 2-1 during the past week of bowl ing, and Ecusta dropped a match to Stikeleather by the same score. One Brevard bowler, Bruce Reynolds, is in the big ten with an average of 185. Although the Ecusta team went down in defeat, the local keglers hall the top game score of the week in the WNC ten pin loop with a 991. ASK YOUR DOCTOR Don't take chances with precious foot health!

According to instruc tions, they shouted, “Long live our beloved leader, the great Stalin!” —all except one man, who was im mediately accosted by an agent of the secret police. “Why did you not greet our be loved Comrade Stalin?” was the stern question. Because I’m not insane, I’m just the janitor.” When you think of presrnp tions, think of VARNER’S—adv. 5-Piece Set with Refectory Top Streamlined modern dinette or breakfast set with stain less refectory porcelain table top with that extends to af ford extra room when need- 1 ed.
