Shelby baseball fans saw a
game played here Wednesday
afternoon which If played early
In the season would have meant
full time baseball for Shelby all
summer. Which is to say that
Wednesday's game gels fans “all
het up’’ just as the season is
about to close. *
Forest City, claiming the state
ndependent championship managed
o nose out a 4-3 victory over Shcl
oy'» Ella mill club, yet it was such
5 contest that boosters of the Ella
:lub did not go home disgusted.
Three former league players, one
’ home boy, were the big attractions
if the nip-and-tuck tilt. They were
Pete Fowler, former St. Louis Car
linal pitcher, who hurled for Forest
City; Roy Brannon, former Sally
leaguer, who did the pitching for
Ella; and Cline Owens Lee, the
Shelby high infieider who played in
the Southeastern league before re
luming to semi-pro ball.
Brannon Good.
In the matter of pitching Mr.
Brannon, a right-hander with a
easing slow ball, bested the widely
shown Fowler and his left-hand

shoots. The Ellas banged out 10 hits
off Fowler, a thing that is seldom
done to the former big leaguer, and
Forest City touched Brannon for
only four hits. Forest City won be
cause their four safeties, one a
homer, were properly bunched with
each‘other and,# few ill-timed Shel
by errors And Shelby's 10 hits were
as widley scattered as a covey of
quail at the end of the hunting
season. Had Lefty Smith held onto
a fly ball in outfield and had May
how fielded a hot roller the score
might have been 2-2 until extra
frames had been played. And it
might have been a four-four game
had Brannon's long drive to the left
field wall been hit an ounce or so
harder, enabling it to clear the
fence. Regardless of “the might
have-beens,-’ it was an affair that
kept every fan in the park until
Hornsby was the last out in the
ninth.
Near Perfect Bay.
Even though he won it was a
worrisome day for Pitcher Fowler.
Mr. Brannon had been the only
hurler of the year who could rival
the reputed king of semi-pro pitch
ers. And Brannon did it again Wed
nesday only to lose on errors. The
two hurlers came from the same
neck of the woods down in South
Carolina and how they hate each
other when pitching for rival teams.
Another thing that gave the erst
while big leaguer something to per
spire about was the bat used by Lee.
the former idol of Shelby high fans.
Ever since Lee left the Southeastern
to play semi-pro ball hereabouts he
has been telling other players that
Fowler isn't impregnable and can be
hit, and then he has been going
right into the game to show ’em
how it's done. Yesterday was just
another one of those days of the
type that caused Fowler to say
some weeks back that “that kid just
can t be struck out." The speedy in
fielder, who seems to like/Fowler's
pitching, went to bat five t*mes
drove out three hits, walked once

and reached first safely on his fifth
trip. An average of three out of four
in the records, and he scored two
of Ella's three runs. All Season he
has been doing that. When Forest
City and Marion played their classic
title series, which ended In a dog
fall, Lee’s three hits won the open
ing game. When Forest City won the ]
next day with Fowler pitching it
was Lee's hit and run that kept
Fowler from scoring a shutout. In
the last game, which ended In a
draw after 14 innings, it was Lee's
three hits that had much to do with
keeping Forest City from having a
clear, unchallanged claim to the
title. If Fowler gets back to the big
tent some of the opposing clubs
should sign Lee up at once. The big
left-hander puts all he has on it
when Lee comes up. yet the young
ster grins at him and smacks his
fast ones all over the lot. Shelby
fans got four-bits worth of enter
tainment out of that performance
Wednesday,
“Red” Costner, the bigshouldered
Gastonia boy, was responsible for
all four of Forest City's runs. Once
he pelted the pill over the fence
with a runner on, making two tallies,
and again he doubled, when an er

scored two more. Shelby got five
times as many hits as Costner, but
Costner’s two blows won.

heavy, to rent one—I called up the

buy a typewriter, bur to rent one.
He asked me "what kind I wanted ’
I never had one so I didn't exactly
know —but I told him “a black top
red keys, and substantial legs. "Hey,
you.” he replied, "you don’t want no
typewriter, you mean a secretary.”
"Very well, then," I replied, “it you
know what I want, send it.” "De
scribe yourself," he told me: and
then I told him: "Tall, handsome,
young and a small moustache ”
About that time 1 heard him yell:
