fort mcpiierson, ga., ?
"Tarheels" might well be the
nickname of the Fort McPherson,
Ga.. baseball team this season,
since the Fort Mac roster includes
?lx players who call North Caro
lina their home. 3
Fort McPherson, which at pre
sent has a record of 8 wins and 2
losses, depends largely for its
1954 success upon these six Tar
heel-Statte products, as well as
the 15 ot^er players on its roster.
One of Fort McPherson's three
catchers is from North Carolina
? Pfc. Bobby Huffstetler of
Kings Mountain, N. C. Huffstet
ler is sporting a hefty .375 Bat
ting average as of this date, after
batting .320 for Fort Mac in 1953.
Huffstetler hit. ;302 with Rocking
ham, N: C., in 1950.
The list of North Carolinians
playing for the Georgia Army
nine also includes Pfc. Rudy Wil
liams, Brunswick; Pvt, Ted Aber
nathy, of Stanley; Pfc. Gene Sum
merlin, of Goldsboro; Cpl. Ladell
Ford, of Fairmont? and Vernon
"Pete" Hal, of Durham.
Wllmer "Vinegar Bend" Mizell,
called by many thie "Left-Hand
ed Dizzy Dean", is also on the
team. Mizell, who was starring
with the St. Louis Cardinals when
drafted last October, heads the
Fort McPherson mound staff. He
played with Winston-Salem, N. C.
in 1950, where he set a league
strikeout record of 227 in 207 inn
ings.
Others on the club are Bobby
Hirtsfleld who playe^ at Landis

Park "Business"
Still Increasing
"Business" at Kings Mountain
National Military Park continues
on the increase, Ben Moomaw,
superintendent, reported this
week.
Easter Sunday was a record
day, with 4,090 persons visiting
the park, site of the famous Re
volutionary War Battle of Kings
Mountain.
Mr. Moomaw also said that 2,
540 persons visited the park last
Sunday and that "It looks like
the summer swing is now under
way."
Last year was a record year
for visitors to the park and Mr.
Moomaw reported that visitations
are now Exceeding 1953 totals.
Through Sunday evening, the
April total had reached 11,445,
keeping the 1954 total for the
month neck and neck with April,
1953.
"One thing might account for
the 1953 record number of visi
tors, however," Superintendent
Moomaw pointed out. "From Jan
uary 1, 1953 through October,
1953 we had only one rainy Sun
day. We don't expect that much
dry weather this year but we are
looking for a. new record."
New Map Exhibit
Place At Paxk
A new exhibit, a map showing
the T . .'\h invasion of the South

It was a gift to the park by the
Eastern National Parks and Mon
uments Association, Ben Moo
maw, park superintendent said.
The association sponsors sales of
post cards of parks and monu
ments throughout the area, he
added.
"The map measures six feet by
six feet and is a beautiful piece
of art," Mr. Moomaw reported.
"It vtery forcibly shows the casu
al visitor just how much of the
Revolutionary War was fought
; and won in the South."
The map was on display last
week in the Southeastern Region
al office of the National Park
: Service in Richmond, Va? and
i was brought to the Kings Moun
tain park Saturday at noon by
Bob McDanlel. Ben Davis, form
er park historian, George Mack
enzie, historian, and Mr. Moo
maw assisted Mr. King with the
project.
? The artist is also to prepare
identical maps for the Guilford
'Courthouse and Yorktown mu
seums.
