Haywood" County's American La
gion Juniors, gunning for the Area
IV League 1 title, evened the
count with Shelby's one-time na
tional champions last Thursday af
ternoon at the Waynesville High
School field.
Charlie Poindexter gave up sev
en scattered bingles and got per
fect fielding support from his
teammates as the Haywood boys
won the contest 8-4 for their fourth
straight victory.
The result gave Haywood a rec
ord of six victories against only
one loss in the League 1 competi
tion, going into Friday after
noon's game with Hendersonvillp
at Canton.
Shelby, which had walloped the
local Legionnaires, 15-5, in Hay
wood's third game of the season,
had a heavy-hitting ag'resation.
But beautiful fieldini work re
peatedly turned boomin2 flies and
sizzling drives into just so many
more outs.
Haywood's defensive fire.vcrHs,
which amount to practically hav
ing another good pitcher, thai Sed
up four double plays over the
nine-inning route.
Th boys did all the scoring they
needed in four frames.
They started off by shelling
Starting Hurler B. Lovelace for
three runs their first time at bat,
then worked Relief Pitcher Bridges
for three counters in the bottom
of the fourth, one in the fifth, and
one in the seventh.
Intermittent rains threatened to
halt the game in the top of the
fifth, and again in the eighth. Urn
pire Bud Shaney actually called
time in the eighth, but when the
rains stopped 15 minutes later, the
Shelby boys elected to play It out
in spite of the sloppy condition of
the field.
In the opening frame. Second
Baseman Dave Bristol drew a walk
after Outfielder Jimmy Abbott
fanned. Then First Baseman Dave
Kirkpatrick rapped out a single,
setting the stage for Shortstop

The whole trouble, as far as
Shelby was concerned, lay in the
efforts to get Bristol out in that
inning.
Pete Howard drew a walk, then
Ledford singled1, . After Abbott
grounded out, Bristol rapped a
double that chased Howard home.
The Shelby second sacker, try
ing to catch Bristol coming into
second, bobbled the ball, and Bris
tol raced to, third, right behind
Ledford, who romped home.
Then the Shelby catcher' threw
wild, trying to catch Bristol com

baseman raced in with the third
run of the inning.
Howard drove in the seventh run

next Inning, with Robinson, who
had drawn a walk, tallying. ; -

Haywood scoring. -

Haywood County's Legion Jun
iors made it five straight Friday
afternoon, .whipping the Hender
sonville Legionnaires, 13-7, at the
Canton High School diamond.
The Haywood boys battered
Emery and Wright for 14 safe hits,
scoring in ail but two innings.
Sprouse and Kenneth Jones
gave up 13 safeties to the Hender
sonville boys, but kept them scat
tered, except in the seventh when
the visitors scored four of their
runs.
Pete Howard slammed a two-
run homer in the tilth, and two
singles to lead the Haywood attack,
while Bobby Kuykendall was run
nerup for individual plate honors
with three hits in five times at bat.
The result . gave the local Le.
gionnaires a record of seven wins
and one loss for the season, going
into Saturday night's game with

Haywood County's American Le
gion Juniors virtually clinched the
Area IV League 1 baseball title
Saturday night with a 20-5 victory
over Marion at Marion.
Even losing their remaining two
games this week wouldn't remove
the local Legionnaires from the
League title contention.
The worst that could happen
would be that they would drop
into a tie with Marion and Ruther
ford County provided both these
clubs won all their . remaining
games while the Haywood boys
were losing all of theirs.
Local Legion officials will con
sult with Area Commissioner J.
MacTeeter of Hickory regarding
a rained-out game that has not
been rescheduled. Indications are
that the Haywood club may not
have to play out the full two-
game series with Lenoir. The two
clubs couldn't get together on an
other date for the postponed en
gagement, a n d, officially the
League 1 season closes Friday.
The way the picture currently
shapes up, Haywood will tangle
with the League II leaders, Gas-
tcnia, and possibly one or two oth
er clubs for the Area IV title.
The Area IV winner will meet
the Area II winner to determine
one of the state finalists.
The Haywood boys collected 17
hits In walloping the Marion dub,
while Southpaw Jimmy , Kuyken
aau was limiting trie losers to six
scattered safeties.
Shortstop Ray Robinson, slam
ming out a triple and three other
safe hits in six trips to the plate,
led the Haywood offensive. Led
ford collected three for five, In

patrick got three for seven.
The victory left Kuykendall with
a record of five wins and no losses
for the season to date, ';.

"Groovemaster is the proposed
answer. It's a device that con
trols the movement of the club
through the arc of the swinj
from start to finish through the
back swing, wrist cocking, down
swing and follow-through.
Visualize a free - swinging pen
dulum to which the clubhead is at
tached, and there's your "Groove
master." It can be set up in home,
office, gymnasium oc yard wher
ever a club can be swung freely.
Its backers, headed by- Harry
Frohman, former Charlotte gear
manufacturer, claim the device
eliminates the need for remem
bering a flock of "don'ts" at the
same time automatically applying
the "do's."
It is expected to be in produc
tion this spring.
, . The secret jof "GroovemasU
. ter?' Tsuecesg, according to Fred '
Hyatt, Veteran Charlotte pro, is
that it automatically imposes the
correct swing, Either the club
head goes through its proper arc
or something gives the pupU.
Hyatt, who recently completed a
six-month trial run with the device
in a Miami, Fla., golf school, says
the device emphasizes:
Bringing the olubhead back, low
and straight along the intended
line of flight, the, importance of a
straight left arm, proper wrist
breaking and a downswing that
throws the clubhead through the
point of impact from the Inside
out.
How many slicing golfers would
love to find that inside-out groove!
The "Groovemaster" is equally
adaptabl e, Hyatt says, . to . tall . or
short players. It also is adaptable
to varying degrees of upright or
flat swings.
Its principal parts include a
bracketed arm extending out
from wall or tree, much in the
manner of the kitchen can open
er. From the end of this arm
hangs, the pendulum, a light
metal rod. The gouiut end of the
rod attaches to the olubhead on a
ball socket.
The clubhead, at the bottom of
the swing, is about teed-ball height
off the floor or ground
The pendulum-like rod control
the path of the clubhead through
Its arc, with the pupil's arms serv
ing as the spokes of the wheel and
the neck as the hub of the swing.
The device, brainchild' of Sam
a. Maimer, owner of a Jackson
ville, Fla., trucking and storage
company, has won the endorse-
ment of two top-fligh,t pros U. S.
