N.C. r .ixjiv/iI , :>!?I J/.IV/O StCTION I, PAGE Jumps 21-1 Kathy Wins At King Games Kathy McMillan leaped 21 feet. 1 inch to capture a win in the long jump at the Martin Luther King Games in Atlanta Saturday. Floridian Lorraine Ray finished second in the event with a jump of 20 feet, 8'/i inches, her longest jump ever. Bill Colston, girls' track coach at Hoke High, said Monday that Kathy was disappointed with her performance. "She just didn't have a really good jump. She scratched on three of her attempts, including one which measured over 22 feet," said Colston. He said Martha Watson, who will be Kathy's strongest competi tor along with Sharon Walker at the Olympic trials in mid-June, did not compete in the meet. Colston said Kathy will not make the trip to Czechoslavakia as she had planned earlier in the month. "Because of the time factors involved with the trip, we decided it was in her best interest for her not to make the trip," he said. He indicated the difficulty of Ladies League By Pat Scott The Ladies Softball League got underway May 19 with Hollings worth and Top Sound Music defeating Rose's Aviation 13 - 1 after four and one half innings of play. J. Bease, S. Ham, and S. Bounds led Hollingsworth and Top Sound Music, hitting 2 - 3 at bat. B. Odom, B. Taylor, K. Taylor, and S. Mansfield were 1 - 2 to lead Rose's hitting. In the second game of the evening, Hoke Jaycees were vic torious over Rosa's Grill and McMillan's Grocery 12 - 2 after five innings of play. Sallie Riggins was 2 -2 for Rosa's-McMillan's while Kelly Jordan led the Jaycees 3.4 at bat with three runs knocked in. In Thursday's action, the Hoke Jaycees didn't give Hollingsworth - Top Sound any slack with a decisive 13 - 3 victory after five innings. It was quite a defensive battle until the fourth inning when the Jaycees compiled six runs to take a 9 - 3 lead and obtained four runs in the fifth, holding Hollings worth - Top Sound scoreless after their three runs in the first inning. Rosa's - McMillan's defeated Rose's 36 - 15 after four and one half innings of play. The game, plagued with errors from both teams, was decided by the powerful hitting of the Rosa's - McMillan's players, led by S. Hasty and N. Kershaw, both going 4 - 5. Leading batters for Rose's were B. Taylor and B. Odom who were 3-4. Standings W Hoke Jaycees 2 Hollingsworth-Top Sound 1 Rosa's-McMillan's 1 Rose's 0 adapting to the time changes might hurt her performance in the AAU Nationals and the Olympic trials. "Right now we're trying to make the Olympic team." he added. Colston said Kathy would con centrate on the long jump and would not compete in any other event at the Olympic trials in Eugene Ore. in June, even though she has qualified for the 100 and 220 yard dashes. McMillan appeared on the CBS telecast 'of the games Saturday following the competition.
