My recollection is that we lost only three games during the four years to high school teams: To Sylva High School 11 to X in eleven innings in Cherry ville in semi-finals; to Gastonia High School 1 to 0 in Gastonia, Grier Friday pitching a no-hit game, hut with two out and a man on second our short and center( the only time it ever happened) let an easy fly ball drop between them while being polite to each other and the man on second nat urally ran as two were out and scored; the third loss to a high school team was the 1 to 0 loss to Clayton in ,State Champion ship game at Chapel Hill. The only other loss during these four years was 5 to 3 to Catawba College in Newton. Hub Yount and sev'erafl 4ther non-college boys being in the game. The war came on the next year and we played only one gam*, namely, at Dallas. They thought it a good time to 'beat us and kept challenging. We arranged a game to be played in Dallas and one in Cherryville. We play ed hist in Dallas; it turned out to be the last game, as we got so far ahead that we did not play the full game. That was young J. B. Houser’s first game; Hub Carpenter did the pitching. We had a fine crowd of boys alwaysi with which to work; they made good school records as well as good athletic records. 1 do not believe their base ball record has been equalled by any high school in the state. Three games lost in four years, and among the opposition defeated were Ashe ville, Shelby, Gastonia. Char lotte, Greensboro and Raleigh. Your pictures have brought back many fond memories of games, boys, students, and loyal Cherryv'ille fans. Yours. JOE R. NIXON Tell them you saw it in the EAGLE—Thanlt you.
