No. 3 Pitcher
Tosses No Hit,
No Run Game
. Accomplishing a very seldom done
feat. Prank Cornwell, hurler for
No. 3 high school bottled up Moores
boro last Tuesday with a no hit, no
run performance, to give his school
a victory by a 3-0 count.
Cornwell, in the opening game of
the season, presented such a reper
toire of balls, that he had the
Mooresboro sluggers swinging wild
ly all afternoon. He was given ex-'
traordinary support in the field, but
his sterling pitching was the de
ciding factor In making the record.
Friday, Kings Mountain licked
No. 3 12-4, and immediately rank-j

!Cherryville Wins
Clash From Shelby
In Error Comedy
Lick Shelby Highs By 13-4; Locals
Make Total Of 11 Errors
During Game.
In a comedy of errors which saw
Shelby highs booting, kicking and
wildly throwing balls all over the
lot, Cherryville yesterday afternoon
triumphed over Morris’ boys by a
13-4 count. The locals made a total
of 11 errors during the hectic aft
ernoon.
Shelby outhit their opponents
throughout the game, but were un
able to turn the safeties into runs
in pinches. Cherryville collected a
total of 10 hits off Williams, mak
ing the largest majority of their
scores through Shelby errors. The
locals batted them all over the
field during the game, getting 14
hits. Big Jim Ervin, catcher, got
three to lead his teammates. Sparks,
Shehan and A. Kale got two each.
K. Smith led Cherryville's batting
spree with three safe blows.
Shelby has been gathering a large
number of hits during their first
encounters, wiifhing two games, and
losing three. Most of their losses
have been through errors in field
ing. As soon as the rookies on the
team settle down and get a little
more experience, their victories
should far outnumber their losses.
Friday afternoon, the locals re
turn home for a three game seriesy
during which they will play Kings
Mountain, Forest City an3 G>i
tonia. Kings Mountain is reported
to have an unusually strong outfit
this year, and will come here Fri
day with high expectations of lick
ing the local nine. The Forest City
game comes off next Tuesday.
