The action was taken after the baseball committees of the Waynes ville, Hazelwood and Canton posts approved plans at a Joint meeting here Tuesday night to field a team of Haywood boys, The committee members will submit detailed plans to their re spective posts next week for final endorsement. The Joint approval followed a bleak report by Floyd (Flossie) Deweese of his experiences man aging the Canton American Legion Juniors in 1946. "I don't want to be a wet blanket," the Champion YMCA Softball star and ex-pro baseball player told the Legionnaires dur ing their meeting at the Haywood Post 47 club room here, "but don't want to see anyone go into this thing with their eyes shut the way I did." After hearing him explain the problems and headaches incident to operating a Legion team, the committee members thought it over, decided their eyes were open, then worked on plans for raising the expense money. On consulting with Champion YMCA Athletic Director Jack Jus tice, who started campaigning for a 1950 Legion baseball team early this winter, and with DeWeese, they set $1,500 as the absolute min imum fund it would take for the initial season. . The decision was made in spite of the fact that the previous Can ton venture and the earlier Hazel wood venture in Legion Junior baseball had subsided after single seasons. Committee members pointed out, however, that in each case a single town post had attempted the project alone. They agreed that their current attempt would have a better than even chance of success if all three Legion posts cooperated in a county-wide project of this kind. . , They" also 'agrtttl thai fhey would work to make a Haywood County . Legion Baseball team a permanent institution, and planned to profit from the experiences of other Western North Carolina ventures in this respect. Under the plans adopted Tues day night also, the team will be chartered officially as the "Hay wood v County American Legion Junior Baseball Team", The nucleus of the current team is the already experienced Cham pion YMCA Junior squad which won the i Western North Carolina Junior championship last season. Everyone of these boys, many of whom have had two seasons of ex perience, is still eligible to play Legion baseball. The rules say a boy can play provided his 17th birthday is no sooner than January 1 of the year his team will compete. Though Coach Justice can un der the rules draw his talent from any eounty in this section that , , (See Baseball Page 8) Finos Greek Girls Sacking Second Title !

The, members of the rejuvenated Haywood County Wildlife Club last Monday. nighj approved plan for a seasonrlong fishing contest at a meeting which drew 8l sportsmen to the little court-room of the Hay wood County Court House here. Before the session closed, the Club signed up 15 new members from the audience more than half as many as the organization had on Us rolls when it was reorganized last January. The exact current membership could not be learned officially, but it has been growing steadily ever since the club .launched its drive for 250 candidates. The news of the proposed fish ing contest, good'as it was to the county's sportsmen, was not the only factor that accounted for this tremendous turnout. Another feature that had some thing to do with it was Nash Motor Company's films showing how sportsmen hunt and fish In Alaska. Wilson Elliott of Waynesville was at the projector. The fishing contest for bass will open April 1 and continue until September 1, simultaneous with the closing date of the trout sea son., ;. : The fishing contest ' will open April 1 and continue until Sep tember 1, simultaneous with Though the trout season in the streams don't start until April 15, trout will count If the anglers catch them before then in lakes. .

These will be at the Gulf Service Station, Firestone," and Parkman's Hardware, all on Main Street in Waynesville; and Char lie's place near the intersection of Main and the Asheville hlghwty. Each of these checking stations will carry a running account of the contest through posters displaying the results from day to day. The bass will be Judged by weight only and the trout by length. But records will be kept on both weights and lengths of each type of fish, for use only in case ties occur among the contestants. Then, if there is a tie In the trout competition, the fish weigh ing the most will win. In the case of bass, the length of the fish will decide the winner. There's only one rule about bait, lure, or tackle: All fish must be caught with a hook and line. , .

The Haywood delegation kept pouring it on through the second period while the Micaville ladies couldn't make better than a single point out of Cenie and her friends. At half time it was 29-3.
