Lawson Brown Hurls 9-0 Shutout Over Hayesville Fourteen men went down as strikeout victims to Lawson( Brown's blazing fast ball as hei hurled Sylva's Legioneers to a four-hit 9-0 shutout over Hayes- j ville on Mark Watson field Sun-i day. , According to Jack Smith, Sylva's, catcher, Brown was faster than he has been all year as he faced only 31 men, letting' six reach first base. Hayesville's only real scoring threat came in the fifth when Led ford led off with a double and went to third on a passed ball through the backstop, but Brown bore down and struck out Rogers, Worley and Ford to end tfie threat. Sylva tallied in the third when Grady Burch singled, Ray Brooks reached first on Ford's error and outs by RecTdv and Smith scored both men. InAhe sixth, a single by Smith, doubles by George Lee and Ben Dillard and a single by Bob Phillips produced three runs. Then in-the eighth, Sylva added four runs for good measure on a free ticket to Dillard, sirigles by Brown, Phillips and Brooks and a Campbell"# ICE CREAM T.

Tr.e slugging lence busters like Ruth. Gehrig, Laz/.eri, Dickey and other> have faded from the scene to be replaced by young-| er stars in Dimagqio, Henrich, Riz zuto and so on who, at the present, seem to be turning the Bronx Bombers into second Murderers' Row. Yet, one doe> not have to jour ney to New Yoi\\ to see an action of this sort. He merely has to come to the bail park in Sylva on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon when the home boys are playing host to an opposing team. How ever, I admit that our brand of baseball is far from big league stuff, there are several players on the Syiva roster that are being sought out by professional clubs. Of their last eight games, the Sylva boys have won five and dropped three but the batting av erages show better than the won lost record. They have made 112 hits, an average of 14 per game, including 14 two base blows, seven triples and five home runs, which, all in all, were good for a total of 155 bases. They have scored an average of 9 1-2 runs per game or 76 all told. They hold an all round team batting average of .348. ( Taking. ?a glance at the batting order we lead off with Tommy Ellis, a second baseman from WCTC, who hiis a healthy .382 ( average. He is not a long hitter, but is very capable of getting on base. Number two man is Clyde Rector, center fielder, with a .347 record who is slumping at the present but is still a handy man to have around. Catcher Jack Smith (.354) comes up third. He's a good stickman with an eye for base stealing. Cleanup man is George Lee (.412) who is locally known for his fencebusting and actions around first base. Ben Dil lard (.395) good clutch hitting, rifle armed third baseman is the man usually in fifth spot. Bob Phillips (.371) fleet footed right fielder occasionally comes through West* To Preach At CuTIowhee Church On next Sunthry rnnrnir1.^.

Houts, Jr.. in termediates. with long hits. J. D. Morgan, short stop, (3.40) usually hits for extra bases and Pitcher Lawspn Brown, who is currently leading all Sylva batsmen with a .425 av erage, rounds out an eight man Murderers' Row. Ray Brooks us ually fills the left field spot and is a swell fly chaser but a compara tively weak stickman with a .2081 average. However, to make the! batting averages look better we, could stick Tilley Baker or Wes ley Warren's .333 or Grady Burch's .291 average in there to round out a top flight order. % Brown and James Cuningham (.236) have been holding down the pitching spot to keep Sylva in the pennant race and should receive able help, we believe, in Howard Barnwell, WCTC hurler, who join ed the mound corps last Saturday. Stan Henry, who appeared in a Sylva uniform for the first time Sunday, should help considerably in determining who will meet An drews, winners of the first half, in the post season playoff. Stan swings a wicked bat and is a smooth in fielder. After looking at things from this corner's paint of view, is it little wonder that oppo-ing pitchers get a mild case of the jitters when they look Til their schedules and see Sylva coming up next?
