P@RI i» a « e Edited By John I. Anderson Rambling With The | Sports Editor j MAKING A HIT . . . Transylvania’s Gil Coan is making a hit and a name for himself in Baltimore, and if he can keep going at the pace he has set, he’ll do all right throughout the American league this season. In the first four games of ’54 he has hit .384, and was particularly outstanding on defense. He loves those wide open spaces in centerfield, and he’s still fleet a foot around those bases. SEES OPENER . . . Pete Doyle hasn’t missed an opening game of tiie American league in a number of years, and he reports the only thing missing this year was the fact that Gil Coan wasn’t in the Sena tors’ line-up. When the season really gets going, Pete and Ye Ole Sports Ed and several other Rotarians plan to make a trip to Baltimore to see Coan in action. By the way, Gil and Gordon Sprott, along with Presi dent Robert Stanley, of Brevard college, give Brevard a lot of good pub licity as they attend Rotary meetings all over the country. Recently, the secretary of the Brevard club received four cards in one week which reported that Sprott had attended four different meetings in four dif ferent large cities. BE ON HAND . . . Speaking of baseball, Ecusta opens the sea son Saturday here on the beautiful diamond of Camp Harry H. Straus. Ace Grover Frisbee will probably toe the mound for Ecusta, and the public is cordially invited to witness the game between the Paper makers and Hazelwood, the club which replaced Berkeley in the loop. NICE INVITE . . . Shortly after the first of May we’re going to ac cept the nice invitation of Jonathan Woody, president of the bank here and the First National in Waynesville to come across Mt. Pisgah with several local golfers and play the fine Waynesville course. Mr. Woody is club champion over in Haywood, and we’re hoping that through his efforts we can promote a few matches this spring and summer between Brevard and Waynesville. 1954 B. H. S.

BREVARD PLAYS CANTON FRIDAY Locals Lost First Game At Camp Straus. Teams Get Only Two Hits Each Brevard’s Blue Devils travel to Canton Friday night for a return game with the Black Bears under the lights. It will be Brevard’s first night game of the season. In their first meeting, the Bears nosed out the Blue Devils 5-2 on the Camp Harry H. Straus diamond. It was a case of too much Bob Westmoreland and “Chucking Char lie” Carpenter on the mound and at the bat. English and Cudd gar nered the only hits for Brevard, and Eddie Grant tossed a two-hit ter, but walks and errors hurt the chances of the Blue Devils. Car penter served in relief capacity, and fanned eight of the batters he faced. Grant had 10 strikeouts. When yon think of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S.—adv. Barnett’s In Second Place.
