They are broth ers, which makes the team almost a family affair at least the in field, for Cordon catches, Glenn holds down second and Eugene handles traffic at first base. No comment needed on their ability, although I do remember a remark by Bud Blalock's mother the other day when speaking of how the team got together "I think they're doing pretty good," she said. We think so, too. so on the sports page The Moun taineer will give as complete a coverage of these as we possibly can. Still there are always items of rumor and gossip that are worth recording, but aren't suitable for a regular story, and since news items are expected to be imper sonal, it is usually better to dele gale enthusiasm and personal opinion to a space signed by the writer. And since many of our readers like to follow big league baseball during the summer, col lege football in the fall, basketball and boxing, tennis and golf from the national standpoint, we shall attempt to summarize news of these events. So for better or worse let's take off . . . SUMMKH sun has beat down on us long enough for many a thought to turn to swimming. Several people are going down to Junaluska where a new rock bath-house is being built and the worn-out pier replaced by a new one. The Country Club management is dickering with various individuals in plans to open the pool at Belle Meade and says to expect an announcement soon. It must be time to splash . . . only this week we saw two youngsters rolling and soaking in the spray from a sprinkler on the courthouse lawn. KCUSTA will come here June 29th for the next regularly sched uled Industrial League game to be played on the local field. They held the title when the league broke up a few years back. The Transylvania county team is pretty hot and should give Hazelwood ONE Tar Heel lad figures prominently in tlie feud be tween the big leagues and their talent-hiring opponents in Mexico. Followers of this have been handed so many rumors it's hard to tell just what has actually happened, but it seems that baseball has been growing south of the bor der to where the Mexican League, financed and run by the wealthy Pasquel brothers, Jorge and Bernardo, has be come ambitious to build up their sporting reputation. Sev eral well-known players of the big-city circuits were talked to, and a few. including southpaw hurler Max Lanier of Denton, N. C, and the St. Louis Cardi nals answered the call. Jean Pierre "Pete" Hoy. who got tired of warming the bench for Brooklyn and signed a con tract in pesos, told reporters that he saw Lanier at break fast one day with $50,000 on him. Mickey Owen, the for mer Dodger catcher, is now the assistant manager of the Vera Cruz team, with Fred Martin and Lou Klein, ex Cardinals, among his team mates. The Dodgers brought Tannery, Daylon Trail Boosters In League It's an old story by now, but the Boosters still are way out in front in Softball league standindgs not only in games won but in team batting, with the high average of )381. In second place at the end of last week's play was the Tannery"'team, having lost only one game, to the Boosters, out of seven tries, and Dayton follows in third place, having dropped one out of six. Putnam has pitched all seven games played aft(rolTlhe'm all," so although two of the Tannery pit chers have unmarred records as well since Pressley has pitched only two and Gaddis one game, it's still safe to say that the Booster moundsman has shown the most class and deserves his top spot in the pitching records. The Veterans are one of the most dangerous teams in the league their batting records show this but have been unable to get their runs in when needed most so are in fifth standing at the present time.

Champion Y will furnish Ihe next competition for Hazelwood coming here Wednesday afternoon to play the game that onginally was scheduled for June 1. Satur day the team goes to Enka for a return engagement with the team that dropped a close 7-4 score on the high school field June 5. Canton lost 6-1 to Beacon Mills the past week-end and has won only one game in league play. Still this is the first encounter between the two Haywood County Industrial League entries since the season opened, and the results cannot al ways be predicted by the records J. C. Burrell is expected to take the mound for Hazelwood, possi bly against Rabbit Moore for Can ton when the game gets under way here at 4:30 p. m. Wednesday Enka's game at Martel was rain ed out Saturday. Beacon Mills holds the league runner-up posi tion, and is not scheduled to meet Hazelwood again until July 27. In Saturday's game at Sayles, Hazelwood was able to get only seven hits from the offerings of Hice, but took advantage of seven errors, six walks and a hit bats man to produce 10 runs. Sayles was held hitless by Blaloek for eight of the nine innings, but bunched three safeties in the fifth inning to score two men. Hazelwood started the scoring in their half of the third. Wright walked and Milner took first on an error. Dudley, trying a sacrifice, laid down a bunt along the first base line for a hit. The ball was thrown away and Wright scored. Glenn Wyatt's single brought in Milner and Dudley. Blaloek took first when hit by the pitcher, and Yount drove a ground ball to short which Clark erred, scoring Wyatt. Hunnicutt threw away a fast one hit to third by Gordon Wyatt, try ing to catch Blaloek. A similar error at third on Gene Wyatt scored Yount for seven Hazelwood tallies before outfield flies retired the side. Yount and Glenn Wyatt scored again in the fourth, and in the fifth Sayles turned on the heat. Clark took three bases after a drive to right field and came in when McTindle singled. Case hit a long double to center scoring McTindle, but the side was retired when Rice was forced out at sec ond and Dotson picked off going to first. Outstanding fielding plays of the game were by Milner in the third when he went back to take Cray, ton's long fly in center, and Yount was robbed of an extra base hit in the fifth when Hughes made a long running catch of Youmt's drive to right-center.
