f V fl Pat’s Peckings By NEALE PATRICK Coach Correctly Calls 9-7 Record Before a ball was pitched in the Southwest Conferen ce diamond race in March, Mourtttaarneer coaches Fred Withers and BUI Bates sat down and tried to place the teams in the league in their proper perspective. They reasoned that Shelby, CherryviBe and Befanorat should be the strong boys of the circuit. Those three teams boasted the most holdover stars from last year along with many of the stars from the Legion junior baseball race of last summer. They were the teams with the “horses”, as the saying goes, and figured to be the top three in the .cir cuit. Now, two months later, the final standings in the SWC bear-out the predictions. Shelby, Cberryville, and Belmont finished in one-two-three order. The Mountaineer mentors gazed further into their cry stal ball in March, saw their club finishing with a 9-7 and finishing about fourth place in the league. Again, Withers and Bates proved good prophets. The Mountaineers posted a 9-7 record in the Southwest season and tied lincolnton for fourth place. “Of course we didn't correctly call the outcome of all our games in figuring our 9-7 season”, admitted Fred in recalling the pre-season prognosticating, “We lost a couple of games that we had figured we would win, and I’m happy to say that the boys won a couple of games that we hadn't figured on.” The pair of surprise victories came over two of the clubs which the Mountaineer coaches had spotted for top berths in the league, Cberryville and Belmont. Kings Mountain defeated both those clubs which finished higher in the race in games here. “We, of course, hoped that we could whip one or both of thise clubs during the season,” related the mentor, “But we hadn’t figured it into our predictions ... and those two wins offset a couple of losses that I hadn't counted on. I had figured we would beat Tri-High and Lincolnton in both game, but we lost one each to them.” Four Sophs On Starting Nine Caroleen and Lincolnton were two of the four teams which the mentors figured the Mountaineers could whip twice this spring. The other two were Forest City and Cliffside, and the local lads ran true to form .in sweeping the contests with those Rutherford County neighbors. Champion Shelby was the only club which the Mountain eers failed to defeat this season. In predicting the 9-7 season, Withers remarked: “We figured that nine wins would be an indication that the boys were developing as well this year as we had hoped, and they came through far us, and we can look for a better team next year and the next.” The development of the Mountaineers points to the fact that this was a young baseball club with only two sen iors on the entire squad, Don Tignor and Tommy Thomas, and four sophomores among the regulars. The Mountain eers probably wore the youngest team in the Southwest Conference, experience-wise. At the close of the season, the Mountaineers listed sophomores at four posliitons. Chip Tborbum on first, Ja mes Robbs on short, and Punch Parker and Ronnie Pear son in the outfield. Several other sophs saw considerable action during the year, and the Mountaineers will take the field next spring with a much more experienced outfit. Despite the Bosses in the final two games of Che year, to Belmont and Shelby, the Mountaineers were a much stronger team during the second half of the campaign than during the first turn around the circuit. The local lads split their eight games in their first meetings with the other clubs in the league. The next time around, the Moun taineers won five and lost three, with one four-game win ning streak near the close of the campaign. Kings Moun tain also avenged three first-round defeats, whipping three clubs which had tripped the Mountaineers in the first meetings. Fisher's Pitching Highlights Year The fine pitching performances of Don Fisher were a rmong the bright spots for the Mountaineer diamond sea son. The rangy junior right-hander won six straight games before losing his final start, at Belmont last week. He pit ched three complete games, the only Mountaineer mounds man. incidentally, to go the route, and won two other con tests with brilliant relief jobs. Fisher’s fine hurling was a major factor in the Moun taineers' good second-half record, as he won four of the five games in the home stretch. "We had counted on Fisher being one of our best pit chers and winning several games for us this year,” com mented Coach Withers. “But we certainly hadn't figured on him pitching as he did, and winning six in a row before losing one.” Jerry' Wright won the other three games for the Moun taineers, while losing four. "Jerry didn’t have as good control this season as he did last year,” observed the Mountaineer coach. “And that control problem led to some of his losses, but he came through with a couple of well-pitched games.” Although he failed to figure in a decision, a former team-manager turned out to be one of the club's best re lief pitchers. Ken Wilson was a manager of the 1958 Mountaineer dub, but this spring asked for a chance to pitch, and his curve ball helped him get the locals out of several big in ning jams. “If Ken had played last year instead of managing, he would have been a big help to us this spring,” observed Coach Withers. Wilson is another sophomore who gained valuable ex perience in his first varsity season and figures largely in the Mountaineer plans for fiiture years. Once Ticketed For Tax Heels, Stowe T orments UNC In PlayoHs Four years ago Coaieh Walt Raibb at North Carolina figured he would land Harold Stowe. the successful young pitcher from Belmont High and the Gastonia Legion junior teams. Harold’s older brother was *1 graduate school at Carolina and the crafty southpaw expressed a desire to enroll at Chapel Hill. The UNC scholarship offer, how ever, (lidtnt quite match the one Stowe received from Clemson, and the rruxmd ace ptdced the Ti gers. Tar Heel mentor Rabb has tiv fed to regret the fact. Twice in rhe last two springs, Stowe and Clemson have beaten Carolina m the Atlantic Coast Conference baseball! playoff game at Odtstorua. Last year Stowe stopped the Tax Heels. 4-1. and Monday nsght, Stowe came or with a great retnaf performance to gain credfc for a 9-7 wm and the second straight ACC cicie fat the Tigers. Stowe entered the game a* Gas conia Monday night during a fif th-inramg uprising and before be could get the side out, the Tat Heels had assumed a 7-5 lead. Stowe gave up three hits in th* tag frame and stood to lose the game if his team could not regair the lead. But has team did regain th* lead with three runs in the eigh th, whS* Stowe heid the Taj Heels hitless in the last tout frames. He retired the last run* batters in order.

(Herald Photo by Pennington Studio) SPUING STATISTICAL WRAPUP Tignor Leads Mountaineer Hitting; Gladden Sets Pace In Track Scoring Don Gladden was the point pace-setter in two sports for the Kings Mountain High Mountain eers this school year. The swift senior copped his second school point title, amass ing 74 \ paints to lead the lo cal track team this spring. Last fall, the all-Conference halfback tallied 66 points to lead the Kings Mountain grid club. Gladden won at least one e vient in every one of -the Moun taineers’ six regular-season meets to mark up the majority of his big point total. He won the 220-yard dash in all six meets, won the 100 yard dash four time. The dashman and broad jump er won a total of 11 first-places during the six meets, copping three firsts in one meet, and two first in three other meets. He al so had several seconds and third place finishes and ran anchor man on the Kings Mountain re i lay team which won several meets. His biggest day of the spring was the season's finale here, when he won three events (the 100, 220 and broad jump) in the Mountaineers lone home loss of the year, against R. S. Central. Jerry Phillips, another speed ster and jumper, was second a- j mong the Mountaineer track sco rers for the year, with 49 % points. Phillips was the Moun taineers’ lone qualifier in the Northwest-Southeast track meet at Hickory, finishing third in the low hurdles. He also participated in the WNCHSAA finals at Dav idson. Phillips won four first-places during the year, three in the hur dles. one in the pole vault Derek Smith also copped four first places ( three in shot put and one in discus) and was third in team scoring, with 35 points. Arthur Allen ranked fourth in! Mountaineer track scoring, with 33 \ points, and three first-place finishes, two in the quarter mile and one in the hurdles. Another three-event winner, j Jimmy Blanton was fifth in team scoring, with 2T»i points. He won the high jump in two meets, the discus once. A pair of two-time winners. Mac Lennon and Steve Harmon, were next in scoring totals with 17 points each. Lennon won the ; half mile in two meets and Har-; mon was the shot put winner twice. Tommy Houser was the other Mountaineer first-place winner for the year, in the broad jump, and eighth in team setwring with ■ 12 \ points.

One of the two seniors on the diamond squad* Tignor led the team in average (.313) and in virtually every otfier bat depart ment He rapped out 13 hits in 48 trips to the plate for the bat mark which paced the season | long regulars. Several other players posted higher batting marks than the senior second-sacker, but none played enough to qualify for the banting leadership honors. James Robbs, regular shortstop at the end of the year, had a -375 bat ting mark, but he played only the final five games after recov ering from a broken toe suffered in basketball. Tignor was the team leader in runs scored (19), in hits (15), doubles (5), and (triples (2). He also was among the leaders with seven runs batted in. Ronnie Pearson and Don Fisher tied for the honors of driving home the most runs, eight each. Don Smith also bad seven EBFs. Fisher had the distinction at slugging the lone homerun of the season tor the Mountaineers, at Belmont last week. Tignor hit consistently throughout the year in compiling his team-leading bat mark. He hit safely in 12 of the Mountain eers’ 16 games, aind he had a six game hitting streak going until broken in the final contest again st Shelby. Fisher was the club’s top pitch er. winning six straight games, before losing his final start at Belmont, tor a season’s mound mark of six wins and one defeat.

Hold Workouts At Stadium BY HEALS PATRICK The Kings Mountain Juniors went through their first full week of pre-season drills with a dis tinctive “Mountaineer-look.” Eighteen of the some 20 can didates who have been drilling this week under the direction of Coaches Fred Withers and Bill Bates are Kings Mountain High and Junior High products. Only two players from the two coun ty high schools from which the Otis 0. Green Post will dffcw its players, Beth ware amd Grover, reported for paerice.

Several others players were members of the Mountaineer squad during the Spring, includ ing Keith Hilliard and Randall Haynes. The only two players off coun ty high teams turning-out for early drills were Charles Bolin, outfielder from Beth ware, and Dean Green, third baseman from Grover. Bolin was a member of last year’s junior team. At least three other players from Beth ware who were mem bers of last summer’s juniors are expected for drills this week. They are catcher Jerry Morris, pitcher Bobby Biddix and first baseman Don Horn.

Shelby Wins Baseball Title To Complete SVC Sports Sweep Shelby completed its sweep in Southwest Conference athletics for the 1958-59 seasons, winning the league baseball crown for the second straight year. Coach Casey Morris’ outfit posted a loop leading mark of 15 wins and a angle Joss (to Lin. eolnton) in repeating as the dia mond champion of the South west Conference. The baseball title also gave the Lions their third major sports championship in the league dur ing the current school year. Shel by copped the league football diadem last fall and led the cir cuit in boys basketball during the past winter. This is the second straight school year in which Shelby has copped all three major sports championships in the Southwest Conference. Cherryviile finished a full three games behind Shelby in the diamond chase this spring, with a 12-4 record. Belmont was third with a 10-6 mark, with Kings Mountain anl Lineototon tying for fourth place With identical 9 7 marks. Cliffside lost 16 straight games in the diamond season, the sec ond straight year that the Cliff. dwellers failed to win a baseball game. This was the final year for Cliffside which merges with Car oleem Tri-High and Harris to form the SWC’s new member, Chase High, next year. Two other schools repeated as Conference baseball champs in the WNCHSAA. Hickory wen th# Northwest title with an 8-0 mark and Asheboro won its second straight in the North Piedmont, with a 12-2 mark.

Sees Last Of O'Shields In 9-4 Loss To Shelby Here The Mountaineers saw the last of Ronnie O’Shields as an ath letic foe here Friday night, and offer thanks for such small fav ors. The husky Shelby catcher who has plagued local baseball and football teams for two or three years continued more of the same in leading the SWC cham pion Lions to a 9-4 victory over the Mountaineers in the final regular game of the season for both clubs, O'Shields slammed a pair of doubles and a triple and batted home four runs in the lone night game of the season here. His long-range pounding gave Robert Camp the padding he needed for the win over a trio of Mountain eer moundsmen. The Mountaineers managed four hits in their finale, the long est being a double by Jerry Wright who started on the hill for the locals but found his own wildness and ©’Shields big bat too much with which to cope. O'Shields triple drove home two runss in the third, and his first double chased a couple more over in the four-run fourth. His final double set the stage for the final two runs in the sixth. After that Kenny Wilson came on in relief to hurl hitless ball Bor two frames. The Mountaineers scored twice in the third cm tour walks and a single by Mike Ware. James Robbs sent the first rum home with a sacrifice fly to the out field, and Camp forced home an other with a walk. A walk to Punch Parker, Wright’s double and an error on Ware’s grounder admitted one for Kings Mountain in the fourth and Robbs came through with another long sacrifice fly to tally the final run. The Mountaineers threatened with hits by Don Fisher and Lar ry Pearson in the seventh, but couldn’t cash in. A couple of other vets joined O’Shiiekts in the Shelby hit at tack. Ronnie Vaughn rapped three straight singles, and John Kouri delivered a pinch single. Our side has seen the last of all three of those stars, along with the majority of the other Lions. Seven seniors were in the Shelby starting lineup. The loss closed the season tor the Mountaineers with a 9-7 rec ord. Coach Fred Withers team de feated every team in the confer ence at least once, with the ex. ception of Shelby. This season's record reversed the mark in 1958 when the locals won 7 and lost nine.
