Hazelwood Drops To
Cellar Position While
Tryon Wins, 4 To 3
By Jack Sords
The work was started Monday,
and things are already beginning
to take shape. The backstop is
being painted an aluminum color
to add to the attractiveness of the
playing field and the announcer's
booth will be included in this paint
up. It was announced by Coach
Weatherby Monday that on the
first call for youngsters to hold
their organization meeting Mon
day, over seventy-five responded.
This is a remarkable turnout, and
shows that the younger boys of the
community are interested, and it
also shows that there has been a
great need for such a program for
young boys.
Bowling Alley In
Pisgah Theatre Is
Opened Monday
Manufacturers Had Game
Sewed Up Until 9th Inning,
When Tryon Cut Loose
The boys organized having elect
ed a president and other necessary
officers and have a complete organ
ization that is similar to the parent
organization and are called the
Junior Softball League and accord
ing to the directors there is now, at
the beginning enough material for
eight complete teams, and as the
program advances it is expected
that several more teams will be
made Up.
Mr. Weatherby expects to install
a similar program among the girls
of the community as soon as he
pets the boys underway. The boys
will take this week to organize
their teams and get in as much
practice as possible in preparation
for the opening of competition
playing the first of next week.
It is the plans of the directors
to build an auxiliary diamond on
the outside of the ball park for
the junior league and not use the
one inside unless it becomes nec-
A bowling alley located in the
Pisgah Theatre building was open
ed on Monday night with a capac
ity crowd on hand from the open
ing hour until midnight.
The building contains six regu
lation alleys. A number of changes
have been made in the interior of
the building in converting it from
a theater to a bowling alley. A
substantia floor has been con
structed over the sloping concrete
floor of the theatre, and
ample room for the alleys. At the
entrance seats for about seventy-
five persons have been arranged.
The operators of the alley, Leon
ard Dobran and Walker Yonce,
who have leased the theatre from
J. E. Massie, intend to make the
sport a year around
here.
Mr. Dobran and Mr. Yonce are
from Johnston, S. C, and are both
former students at the University
of South Carolina. They have had
considerable experience in the op
eration of bowling alleys.
When asked why they chose Way
nesville for the location of their
business Mr. Dobran said: "Last Player
summer we passed through Way- J- Scruggs
nesville and we liked the looks of
the place so much that we de
cided then to come here at some T. Iilalock
later date and establish an alley." J- Knight
