Asheville All - Stars To
Come For Two Games .
Next Sunday
' Great baseball doings are sched
uleduled for next Sunday after
noon, June ll, on the Franklin
diamond when the Asheville All-
. Stars, formerly known as me
Morgan Candy Corhpany team, an
cient rivals of the Franklin boys,
come over for a double-header.
The first game will begin at 2
o'clock, and a record crowd is ex
pected. These Asheville boys are
a good-natured gang and are popu
lar with P!ie Franklin fans, but
they are real baseball players and
are going 4o 'be hard to beat.
After next Sunday the Franklin
fipld cannot be used for two weeks
while the WPA men are putting
the finishing touches on this high
ly creditable project, but when the
work is completed, there will be
baseball for the remainder of the
summer.
Canton will be here on July 2,
and the Knoxville All-Stars are
expected for a double-header on
July 4. Cards have also been sent
to 20 other teams asking for games
on the local' diamond.
The game with Hazelwood last
Sunday had to be played on the
diamond at the Otto CCC camp
on account of the heavy rains which
made it impossible to use the
Franklin field.
Only seven innings could be
played, but it . was a snappy game,
resulting in a score of 4 to in
favor of Franklin. Both teams
worked smqothly, and most of the
time it was three up and three
down. There were only three er
rors in the entire game, one for
Franklin and two for Hazelwood,
and it was big league ball from
start to finish.
Franklin this year has a base
ball team that is going to show a
'big percentage of games won. The
boys are playing . together and
showing good team work.
Franklin has always been a
baseball town, but the interest this
year' seems greater than ever, and
Manager Mallonee is bending ef
fort to build a winning team.
Thanks To OCC Boy
' The Franklin ' team desires to
extend thanks to - the officers and
men of Otto CCC camp for the
use of their field on last Sunday
when the heavy rains made " the
local field 'useless.
