Legionaires Are Running
Hot Streak
Who says the Sylva Legionaires
are not one of the strongest semi
pro clubs in the Western part of
cf the state: Well, sir, if that's
your feeling, just put it under your
hat and keep it there. Don't
make the mistakes of saying it
around town. From the showing
the Sylva lads made over the
week-end, they look like they can
hold their own with anything in
this part of this state and several
states adjoining.
Until Saturday, the Legionaires
had not won a single shutout game.
Then everything broke loose and
came two straight. Twenty con
secutive scoreless innings have
been thrown by Sylva hurlers. Old
Reliable Hush Sumner hurled one
ci the best game^ we've over seen
him slin& Monday when he shut
out Habersham Mills 6-0. And
K^bersham is one of the hottest
i
club-; in the South Carolina-Geor-'
gia Industrial league.
There's J. B. Beam's three hit
jcb against Cherokee Mills of
Knoxville, Tennessee, last Sunday
also. Anyone who pitches a base-'
ball game and allows only three1
m_n to reach base, has done some-1
th'ng special; and that's exactly
what Long John did.
Of coursey^oth pitchers receive
ed excellentTp^cking from the res't
cl tne club. I No errors were made
behind and only two behind
Rush.
If the Legionaires play that
brand of ball for the thirty or
more remaining games this sea
son, they won't lose many more.
The Legionaires might well be
called a farm club for the Marion
aggregation of the WNC loop since1
3 cf Sylva's best pitchers have been!
signed by that team. First was
southpaw Odell Griffin who pitch
ed for the Legionaires at the first
of last season; next was Lawson
Brown, the big sidearm fireballer,
who hurled for Sylva all last sea
son; and last was Warren Deyer
jrond, the curveball specialist, who
won 4 out of 5 games for Sylva th s
year. We're pulling for all three
cf them, and if you follow your
Asheville paper, you can see that
the Mauraders have pulled from
| eigiuri piact in tn^ league stand*
. ings to sixth in the last week or so
I unci toev are now only 4 1-2 games
? out Oi the first division.

| Saturday, Sylva took advantage
of 14 walks and 6 well placed hits
off two Cherokee nurlers, and mix
ed them with the timely relief
pitching of Jim Cunningham for
their 10-7 win. Ike Olson started
? (>n the hill for Sylva but was tak
en out in favor of Bob Phillips in
the fifth after giving up 5 hits and
5 runs. Phillips, having no time
to warm up properly, pitched to
only four men, giving up a homer
and a single. At this point Jim
Cunningham went into the game
,| with Sylva trailing 6-4 and prom
j Ptly put out the fire, holding Cher
I okee to 4 bingles in the last 3 2/3
innings.
Sunday, it was Long John Beam
all the way as he hurled Sylva's
.first shutout of the season, giv
i nig up three hits, allowing only
, three men to reach base and win
( n?ng li-o. Cherokee started strong
With two out in the first, Massingill
( doubled and Seiber followed with

.here on out, Cherokee went three
Lp and three down in each inning
out the seventh when Seiber made

Monday, lanky southpaw Rush
Sumner hurled his way to a five
hit 6-0 shutout victory over Hab-'
