(That s how last week’s column was sup*
posed to end before the type lice slipped into
the act. That was how A1 Dowtin scored his
nifty even par round—18 pars in succession.)
* * *
The Fourth of July was a real Roman
candle at Sherwood Forest as we enjoyed our
biggest turnout ever — 89 players. To make it
even grander we celebrated with the “spirit of
176.” That’s how many people played over the
three-day weekend.
And 117 of them elected to play in the
regular weekly tourney which spanned the
same period and was a blind bogey, low gross
and Calloway system combination that made
27 swingers happy with one or more prizes.
Biggest boom was produced by 18-year
old Justin Eller. The Charlotte native, who is
working with the Brevard Sanitation Depart
ment this summer, discovered SPGC Saturday
night just before dark. He sailed around in 56
blctws and was crushed that his lack of a partner
prevented him from entering the weekly touma
mnt. He promised that he would return.
(And on Monday afternoon, with pretty
Brenda Orr as his partner, he made the scene
and fired the shots heard ’round the course.
Two more trips were engineered, each in 56.
When the smoke had cleared he had captured
low gross, low Class A Calloway with a 54 and
Brenda was one five who shared the blind
bogey laurels at 53.
The others are Betty Jones, Perry Crutch
field, Shaun O’Rear and Don Roberts.
Second low gross went to Terry Hile with
57.
Youth was also served in the B and C
“ Class Calloway as John Ledbetter, 10, Hen
dersonville, bagged the former with a 55
which was matched by eight-year-old At
lantan, Jamie O’Rear in the C category.
Second in Glass A at 55 were Ed Latham,
f Gary Hinckley and my oldest pupil, Nick Robert
- - son, twice. Nine more places rounded out the A
winners.
B runners-up were Tom Walker, 56;
Lewis Whiteside, 66VZ; Brian Miller, 57; Jack
Brown, 57 Vg, and Gene White, 58. Miller was
also second in C at 55 Va, followed by Preston
Rahn and Millicent Latham with 57s.
Best strings in the tournament were 11 3’s
in Eller’s first Monday round and eight 4’s by
" H. F. Northrop, Miami.
Closest to the pin winners last week on
No. 4 were Jim Riley, H. P. Wright, Volney
Tinsley, Ed Latham, A. M. Tewkesbury and
S. M. Brown. Tewkesbury, from Aiken, S. C.,
had the best shot—four feet, 10 inches, and
he probably would have won Sunday (he was
closer) except for the fact that you can’t win

DONORS FOR PAST WEEK
Panthers Win Minor League, B
Little League Still Up For Grabs
——
The clinching of the regu
lar season Minor League
championship, the closest
race in recent Little League
history going into the Anal
week of play, ut a 18 inning
no-decision marathon Babe
Ruth League game highlight
ed Tooth Baseball action
here last week.
Dennis Hamilton’s Panthers
clinched the regular season
Minor League championship
when they got a brilliant no-hit
performance by Randy Bryson
against the rugged Red Sox.
This, combined with a victory
by the last place Braves over
the second place Cardinals last
Saturday night gave the title
to the Panthers, who are also
the defending champions.
m the Babe Ruth League,
the League leading Orioles
and the Jays battled for fif
teen innings and then decided
to halt the 2-2 contest and
finish it the next time the
two teams meet.
David Roberts started for the
Orioles and was relieved in the
eleventh inning by Mike
Stanley. Chris Sneeden started
for the Jays, and was relieved
in the eleventh by Mark Hoop
er. All four pitched well and
should receive a great deal of
credit for their efforts.
In The hotly - contested
Little League, five of the
eight teams in the league
still have a mathematical pos
sibility of winning the regu
lar season crown going into
this, the final week of play.
The Braves are still on top
with a 7-3 record, but they
have four games to play in
this final week, and a loss in
any of them could seriously
hinder their championship
hopes.
Breathing right down the
Braves’ necks are the Red Sox,
8-5, the Cardinals, 6-4, the
Mets, 6-5, and the Colts, also
6-5. Only the Cubs, Pirates and
Panthers do not have a chance
at first place going into this
last week.
It’s almost a certainty that
the regular season champion
ship will not be decided be
fore the last, games are play
ed this Saturday. This should
make the league play-offs,
scheduled to start next Mom
day, just about the best ever.
All managers are in agree
ment that any of the eight
teams could get hot enough to
win the tournament, and to call
any one a “favorite” would be
sheer folly. True baseball fans
won’t want to miss a single
game in the play-offs next
week.
DONKEY BASEBALL will be coming f<j Bre
vard next Wednesday evening, July 14, and a
large crowd is expected to be on hand for the
laugh filled “contest”. The game will be played
at the E. L. Lynn Field located directly behind
Pisgah Forest elementary school, and is scheduled
to get underway at 8:00 p.m. Proceeds from the
game will be used by the sponsoring Transylvania
Youth Baseball Leagues to pay for the newly
erected fence that now surrounds the Ei L. Lynn
field. Tickets are being sold in advance by all
team managers, and will also be available at the
gate. Admission is $1.00 for adults and 60c for
children.
Youth Baseball Leagues To Hold
Big Donkey Baseball Game Here
Plans are being made by
the Transylvania Youth Base
ball Leagues to sponsor a big
donkey baseball game here
on Wednesday, July 14.
The game will be played at
the E. L. Lynn Field directly
behind Pisgah Forest elemen
tary school, and will start
promptly at 8 p.m.
Officials of the three
leagues, the Minor, Little and
Babe Ruth leagues, state that
proceeds from the laugh-fill
ed contest will be used to
help pay for the newly erect
ed fence that now surrounds
the E. L. Lynn field.
The total cost of this fence
was in excess of $500, and of
ficials hope that a lot of these
expenses can be raised with a
good attendance at the donkey
baseball game.
Admission for the game,
which will feature a number
of well known local people,
will be $1.00 for adults and
50c for children.
Tickets are currently on sale
