M AKIN' MACON ? Sports Rounds By J. P. BRADY Will whatta ya' know! This golf tournament deal is going across. If there is half as much swinging going on when It starts as there Is talk about It, then it is going to be a fast and furious fracus from the start. Just In case some of you citizens didn't slap a glance on last week's issue of this news sheet we will giv? you the low down, and buildup, on this thing called "a golfer's night mare". Now this tourney is for every one! If some of you don't know a 4 iron from a BB gun, don't be discouraged ? just go out to the local links and let the pro take you under his guiding hand and in no time at all you will be pulled by the undertow of that obsession called golf. In just a couple of weeks you will be in fine shape to walk off with one of the tourney prizes. The transformation from a normal human being to a fiend ish "golfer" will be a rapid one. In no time at all you married fellows will be beating your wives and cutting your kid's pabulum. And you lucky-dogs single gents will quite suddenly be eaten up with the urge to kick crutches from under kind old ladies. But that's golf, so get right in the middle of it. Those of you who know what golf Is all about just have to get in a little practice. Qualifying for the event will get underway August 10 and will end the 24th when the tourney takes over. The big fight will take a week .to run off, providing that there is a good turn out. So don't forget, the tourney is the last week in August. BA' UP Fourteen lads this year make up the Franklin Junior Base ball team and the crew already has two wins and a loss. The boys, vintage 11 to 15 and a half years, are coached by John Swan and Emory Hunnicutt. It seems that ball players, whether young or old, need equipment to keep the game go ing, so if some of you would like to have a good mark on your side when the time comes to start explaining things up stairs, you can come across with a slight donation (or the kid's team. Mr. Swan or Mr. Hunni cutt will be glad to talk with you. On the 5th the lads journey ed over to Waynesville and took on the number 2 team in the Waynesville Junior league. Although moundsman Roger Tallent fanned 14 in eight inn ings, the locals lost the game 7-6 1n an extra stanza. But last week the Waynes ville baseballers came over here for a double header and lost both games to the locals. Sweet revenge, I think one could call It! On Wednesday, that was. ' Here's the lads on the team: Bill Mendenhall, Tommy Gnuse, Connie Potts, Crawford Moore, Roger Tallent, Bobby Womack, Tom Hunnicutt, Richard Ren shaw. Bill Hunnicutt, Richard Russell, Robert Siler, Leonard Long, Bobby Swan, and Eddie Reece. A tentative game has been scheduled with Canton on the 26th, with Jack Justice's lads there. Jack Justice is a brother of the famous UNC "Choo Choo". FISH? Well, I guess all the fish around here have gone South for the season because for the past month or so no one has come by here with even a min now. Everyone seems to be be moaning the fact that the fin ny creatures aren't biting any thing, including their own fing ernails. But if any of you sink a hook in a good one just bring it by and let one of us see it.
