Peeler, Cornwell Great Guns At L-R • BY RONALD KISER • Despite losing most of the stars via graduation, Lenoir-Rhyne cap tured the Western Division flag in the North State Conference for the fourth season in a row. Coach ed by Mac Erwin, the Bears were battled down to the wire by West ern Carolina. Two big reasons for the success of the Hickory team were Buzz Peeler and Walter Cornwell. Familiar names to local fans, the two Lincolnton hurlers between them accounted for seven of L-K's nine regular season triumphs. The Hickorians won nine, lost three m the loop, defeated Davidson twice and Belmont Abbey. Peeler, the pint-sized south paw, who fashioned 17 victories here last summer, racked up five wins against a single loss for the Lutherans with Cornwell winning two of three tilts. Forty-eight strikeouts were recorded by Buzz during his six-game season. West Carolina was the only team to hand him a defeat, beating the portside. by 6-5 at Hickory. His triumphs were scored against Dav idson 3-1, Appalachian 11-10 in CHERRYVILLE PRODUCE STAND E. Main Street Next To McCoys Open Daily EXCEPT TUESDAY MORNING GREEN BEANS 75c lb. TOMATOES 75c lb.

The 5’10” southpaw hurled 187 frames here last summer, record ed 192 strikeouts, issued 84 bases on balls, and yielded 120 base hits. Cornwell, a speed-balling righthander, racked up eight wins against five setbacks, fanned 123, passed 63, and yielded 94 hits in 1 124 innings. Peeler hit .370, j Cornwell .292 for the local legion i team. Both boys are among the leaders at Lenoir-Rhyne. A former Western AA Confer-I ence football star leads the Bears , at bat. Second Baseman Jimmy j Kimmell, a Kings Mountain lad, rapped out 23 bits during the sea son for a fat 431 mark. Kimmell gained the first string fullback job on the gridiron toward the end of last winter's action. Stanley’s Virgil Whitley is an other Bruin diamond standout.

Coach Norman Harris s Gard ner-Webb Bulldogs finished in fifth place in the Central Caro-, linas’ loop with a 6-5 mark, then placed two boys on the all-state team. Gene Huss, second base man from Bessemer City, hit safe ly in 12 of G-W’s 15 games with Hal Pearson, a righthander, also making the mythical outfit. One (-.f Pearson’s five seasonal tri umphs was scored over PJC by 6-5 under the lights at the local high school park April 24. Mac McPherson, Derris Brad shaw, Harry Oldham, and Bobby Edison. Those names should be familiar to local fans. The four mentioned lads are leaders of the unbeaten Wilmington outfit, the Eastern AAA champs for ’54. All four starred for the Wilmington Juniors last summer with the Cherryville team administering the only set backs of the cam paing to McPherson, and Oldham. Bradshaw, a speedy lad, nosed out Jim Lail for all-state honors. McPherson and company swept aside t4 opponents in the Eastern AAA race, will meet Western champ Gastonia in a twc-of-three series in Gastonia starting h ri Hav or Saturday. Gastonia won the Western title Monday by beat ing Salisbury 947. Two big right handers, McPherson and Roger Sheppard, will probably oppose each other in the first game of the set.
