The game begins at 2 o'clock. Manager Bruce Jaynes and Coach Jack Justice were doubly en couraged last week-end when their Haywood County Junior Legion baseball squad showed much im- provement in two., practice ses sions, and their roster was streng thened by the addition of several new players. From a beginning of 40 boys the squad has now increased to almost 70 ambitious candidates. Especially impressive among the newcomers were three lads from Cullowhee High Sutton, Hooper and Wlke. " Evidently the squad is well fixed for battery strength. Coach Jus tice commented yesterday that "we have 14 pitchers and there's not more than two of them that we would consider dropping." He also quipped about "the ton of catch ers on the squad," inferring that all the receivers are in the heavy weight class. Jaynes and Justice will continue practice drills this week-end, work ing out again on Saturday and Sun day at the Waynesvjlle High dia mond with each session slated for 2 o'clock.
