The Enka Rayotiites moved to
the top of the loop standings on
the strength of Bill Trull's six hit,
shutout win over Mattel on the
Martel diamond.
While Trull's superb mound job
was holding the Martel nine in
check, shortstop Nave was pacing
the Rayoniles with four bingles
in five trips. Franklin and Israel
each had two for four for the
losers. Franklin was the losing
pitcher.
The line score: r h e

In the other loop till, RustjTCar
land pitched the Ecusta team to
seven to three win over the Can
ton Pigeons on the Canton field.
The Pigeons touched Carland for
eight bingles while his team mates
were banging out 15 hits for seven
five hit barrage
visitors, five runs.
Hazelwood came right back to
drive Hed Daniels to. the showers
with a three run attack, but Dun
can relieved him and held the lo
cals in check until the ninth.
Trailing by three runs going into
the ninth, Troulman and Wyatt
scored when Pitts drilled a double
to rightlield hut was thrown out
when he attempted lo stretch it
into a triple. Hazelwood's last
c hance i nded when Dudley Hied to
dei p centerlield on w hat appeared
to be an extra base hit but was
hauled in by Cenlei lielder Cathey.
Wednesday afternoon the local
nine will meet the strong Ashe-ville-lliltmore
Bulldogs on the
Waynesville High diamond in what
shapes up as a top notch tilt. The
game will gel underway at 4:00
o'clock.
Manager Elmer Dudley will prob
ably start Jack Amnions on the
mound against the Bulldogs, who
possess one of the best college
teams in this part of the slate.
Not only that fact hut the fact
thai the locals will be facing two
of last season's regulars from the
llaelwood team will add much to
the tilt. Lanky Richard Powers,
sure fielding first baseman and
Lawrence Robinson, hard hitting
shortstop, have been performing
regularly with the Bulldogs this
season and both hoys have turned
in excellent jobs. Both feel con
fident that the Bulldogs will come
through with a win over the locals,
but the local nine, although they
still haven't tasted victory this
season, are going all out to turn
back the Bulldogs.
A large crowd is anticipated for
the tilt as this will mark the first
Wednesday game here this season.
