PISGAH FOREST DO\ m HECTIC GAME B' Pisgah Forest downed the Erevan' team 7-4 Saturday afternoon in : game on McLean field that was re plete with good, bad and wild plays. Brevard started off in the firs', frame with a vim that spelled de struction to the Carrmen when the\ scored two runs and all but talliec" number three. "I told you so" ? "they won't j,et a smell," was hear i from Brevard fans in the grand stand ? but, the second half was an other runaway, and this time, it was the other way, Pisgah Forest tallying three runs in their half of the frame. Gibson for Pisgah Forest and Payne for Brevard, were both oft' in their hurling, neither being up to their usual standard. Gibson, who i generally conceded one of Pisgah's best batters, went hitless, as did Payne also. Harry Bryson for -Brevard, v. s hitting star for both teams, getting four singles out of five times at bat and played a pretty fair game around the hot corner. H. Goodman, Ros and Morris for Pisgah each got a pair of hits one of Ross' being for two bases. The Chief is credited with getting on each time, twice on hits. ne pass, and once on an error.

Henderson and the Safety Transit Lines, Inc., In his suit for damages resulting from an auto mobile collision which occurred in j March, of last year.

Henderson, the bus line being ab solved from any blame in his case. Judge Harwood set aside the ver dict as to the bus line in the Glaz ener case, and afterwards the plain tiffs and defendant Henderson, through their counsel, agreed upon a settlement of $-4,750 each.

Pisgah garnered eleven hits off Payne, while Brevard only got six off Gibson. Payne stuck out eight men in nine innings; Gibson struck out eight in eight innings.

Pisgah Goes To Canton Pisgah Forest will take a little trip Saturday to the Fibre Town where they will try to wrest one rung of the high ladder away from the snappy Y team there. Gibson will probably be on the mound for the Carrmen, and local fans are of the opinion that the Champion nine will have a hard time sending hi fast "snakes" over the short left field fence, and also will find it a job to lay them down all over the infield as they have been wont to do when they need runs and have a man on base. smimmm One of Finest Entertainment; Ever Witnessed in Bre vard Was Given Quite, a small audience enj . i ' one of the finest programs cvei sented in Hrevard, when the Ho-.ton School of Expression and Unmade.

Dr. Lacock, in his in imitable style, told in a vivid mann -i of the life and accomplishment. <?; this historic character, whom tin speaker considered the greaty.-t i: ;-n eral and one of the greatest men in the annals of history. Adding to the interest of the lecture, were the .steropticon slides showing the <iif ferent phases of the life of General Lee.
