Pat’s Peckings By NEALE PATRICK Notes To You From Sports Whirl Putting together one little thing and thought after an other from the whirl of sports: The junior season is over here, but the memory lin gers on, of the most fascinating Legion team in history of the local program . .. And the fans are already talking a bout next season when half the squad members will re turn . . . That’s right, seven return, seven depart. Returnees will be Jerry Morris, Punch Parker, James Robbs, Ronnie Pearson, Bud Sanders, Keith Hillard and Perry Champion, the nucleus of a good team for ‘60 . . . Sid Franklin misses being eligible by only three days . . . Others who have played their finale for the Legion club are Bobby Bifldix and Jerry Wright, the great one-two pit ching punch, Don Horn, Roy Metzger, Mike Ware, Tom Fite and Franklin. Lending aid to the returnees will be several lads who were with the juniors far a brief time, or played high school ball... Ken Wilson, Steve Harmon and Larry Pear son . . . Plus some good grads from the local Babe Ruth League program- ' Incidentally, the most valuable Junior player trophy which went to Biddix, has started the ball trolling, so to speak, and several trophies will be awarded in the future to Mountaineer athletic Stars . . . Details on at least two new trophies will be announced Soon . . . And, Of course, the Legion MVP award will be an annual thing. And before leaving baseball for a spell, hats off to oth er diamond champions in town . . . Bob Wilson’s Kiwams team copped the Little League crown, with several pro mising youngsters for future clubs here . . . And Coach Willie Grice’s Moose champions of the Babe Ruth loop will have some youngsters ready to move up next year. Kings Mountain softball teams also distinguished themselves in league and tournament play .. . The Burmil slow-pitch softball outfit won the regular-season title in a Gastonia League . . . Then most of the stars of that team switched over to the National Guard entry and made a fine showing in the district slow-pitch at McAdenville • . . And, just to prove their ability wasn’t restricted to one ty pe of softball action, some of the same players joined the Crafttepun team in the fast-pitch district event at Gastonia. Gamble Turns-Down Big School Post Now lit can be told that John Gamble turned down an opportunity to leave his Kings Mountain coaching post for one in a larger school several week's ago . . . Salisbury of the Western 4-A Conference sought Gamble as replace ment for the veteran Bill Ludwig who resigned during the summer due to his health ... The job eventually went to another Southwest Confeence mentor, George Tate ot K. b.. Central. Two other Kings Mountain natives also have been men tioned in connection with high school and college coach ing changes in recent weeks . . . Pride Ratterree, Citadel aide, was talked as the possible choice for the Appalachian grid job, following Bob Broome’s death . . . Jimmy Kim mell, assistant grid coach at Saluda, S. C., was among the prospects for the R. S. Central post, vacated by Tate • . . The Iiilltopper post went to Max Beam, Cherryville native, former coach at Mt. Holly. The coaching change in the state which has been cre ating the most discussion, of course, is the one at UNC, where Jim Hickey was elevated to succeed his late boss, Jim Tatum . . . Everyone asks, “How will Hickey do as head coach?” ... Only time will tell.. . And, of course, for the first year at least, everything Hickey does will be com pared to how Tatum would have done it. The biggest surprise in the selection of Hickey was the three-year cos-tract.. . Actually, that was the only so lution ... It would not have been fair Do Hickey, or any coach to give a one-year “interim” contract • . . Neither would it have been fair to the players nor to the school and alumni to name a one-year fill-in with intentions of hiring a “name” coach after the season .. . Hickey’s three year appointment, thus, endorses Tatum’s judgement of selecting assistants who are capable of steppmg-up and also permits a man familiar with the organization to car ry out long-range plans set-down by Tatum . . . Hickey was a member of the staff which aided Tatum in making the plans. Several other Tatum assistants have stepped into suc cessful head coaching posts . . . Such as Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma, Bill Meek, SMU, the top-ranked team in the Southwest this season, Warren Giese of South Carolina and Eddie Teague of Citadel . . . Tatum, obviously, was a judge of coaching talent, just as he \vu ■ r playing ability ... He trained both well... UNC has d him a tribute by selecting one of his aides instead of cau.. .g rm.de all of his organization to look for an outsider. Gastonia Loves Pirates' Mayhem Gastonia baseball fans are riding the “bounty main” in perfect bliss over the deeds and actions of the recently acquired Pirates who seem intent of bringing the Sally League pennant to the newest town in the circuit . . . But the thing which seems to trouble some Gastonia folks as much as the fear of losing the club in ‘60 is the inability to pin-down a real hero of the team. A different player stars every night, and just when the faithful are ready to put the hero’s shawl on one play er, another yanks it from his shoulders with a game win ning play . . . It it isn’t Reggie Hamilton or Willie Melen dez making the dog-gonest defensive plays you ever saw, its Bill Jackson or Elmo Plaskett or Reggie Grenald or Harry Williams or no-telling-who slamming a late inning homer to rate the starring role for the Jolly Rogers. Today’s chuckle . . . Shelby couldn’t beat Kings Mountain in Legion junior baseball this summer, and now we hear that some of the good folk in our neighboring town are talking the prospects of combining the two posts next year and fielding a Cleveland County team ... If you can’t beat 'em, join 'em! ' Three members of the Hickory juniors, who lost to K. M. in the Area semi-finals, are members of the Hickory High football backfield which paced the club to the Wes tern Conference title last autumn . . . Catcher Charles Young is the quarterback, outfielder Larry Rudisill the scat halfback, and outfielder Gene Isenhour, the power ful fullback . . . The other member of the returning four some is Richard Jackson, the WNCHSAA track sprint champion . •. The ball-totin' quartet will be favored to lead Hickory to its second straight NWC title . . . Could Kings Mountain be seeing more of those young men in another north-south playoff in football this autumn? Mountaineers Open Grid Drills Saturday JOHN GAMBLE . . . Colling oil gridders Guard Eliminated In Semi-Finals OfSlow-Pftch National Guard was caught with its guard down in the slow pitch softball district tournament at McAdenville Tuesday night.. The Kings Mountain club was eliminated in one of the semi finals tussles Tuesday night, bowing to the defending cham pion Lowell Stobbs team by a 6 1 score. It was the second loss of the event for the National Guardsmen, the club earlier hav ing lost to Wix of Gastonia. Pete Peterson was the pitch ing victim for the Guard Tues day night, allowing ten hits while his mates reached Harold Rankin for eight. The Guard committed one error, Lowell a pair. Gene Tignor and Ronnie Kin caid paced National Guard at bat with two hits in three trips each. Leroy Broome and Lawren ce Bradley had two each for Lo well. The Lowell team returned to the field immediately after the! win over Kings Mi. and lost to Smyre American in the other se mi-finals game. That contest sent Smyre against Kluttz Wed nesday, with the winner there due to meet undefeated Wix on Thursday for the district slow pitch title. Wix handed National Guard its first loss in the tournament last Thursday, by an 8-2 score. Pete Peterson was the loser as his mates could manage only two hits, the K. M. tosser making one of those. The Guard copped three strai ght. wins in the tournament be fore meeting defeat. Bryant Wins Gun Matches T. W. Bryant of Kings Moun tain continues to reign as the number one Sharp-shooter for the Universal Gun Olub.. He posted high scares in rifle and pistol matches at the Univer sal Gun Olub range in Grover on Sunday. Bryant won the 22-calibre rif le match at 50 yards with a score of 183-3x and topped the field in the center-fine pistol match with a socre of 264-3x.

Craftspun Loses In Title Game; Font K. M. Players On All-Tourney Cnaftspun came to the end of the line in the Midwestern dis trict fast-pitch softball tourna ment at Gastonia Tuesday night, losing to new champion Dallas by a 12-1 score. Bo Davis held the Kings Moun tain club to four hits while his mates reached Bud Ross for ten knocks. The loss was Craftspun’s sec ond to Davis and Dallas in the double-elimination tournament which determined the district representative to the state event in Charlotte next week. Dallas succeeds Minette Mills A team as the district champ. Minette’s defending state champions re ceived a bye through the district tourney into the state playoffs. Craftspun’s four hits Tuesday night were divided among as many players as Davis, a veteran tosser in Gastonia softball ranks for years, kept the Kings Moun tain club under control. Dallas was undefeated in the tournament, and if Crafltispun had won the first game Tuesday night, a second game would have been required to determine the champion. Despite the loss, Craftspun pla ced four players on the all-tour nament team, picked by coaches and officials. Bud Ross was pick ed as one of the pitchers, Lefty Moss at firstbase, Holland Smith in the outfield, and Gene Tig nor as a utility outfielder. Dallas and Belmont also placed four on the team.

Opens Football Seventeen lettermen were eli gible for the 1959 edition at the Kings Mountain High Mountain eer football team .. . but the to tal reporting this week has been trimmed by five as result of summer-time broken bon injur ies and other reasons. Punch Fancer and Chalmers Johnson will be on the absent list when the Mountaineers be gin banging heads Saturday morning art City Stadium. Both were tabbed for first string ber ths this fall, Parker at halfback for the second straight season, and Johnson at the already-de pleted tackle post. Parker is out for some six weeks with a broken collar bone suffered in • the final American Legion junior baseball game of the season with Mt. Holly here a couple of weeks ago. Coach John Gamble hopes he will be ready for action when the season turns into October and the Mountaineers meet Shelby. Johnson’s status is uncertain. He suffered a broken leg iin a freak accident falling out of an autoimobile during the summer. He also may be able to play by October. Three guards who won letters last year and were in line for more action this autumn have been crossed off the'list for var ied reasons. Jimmy Rikard has been advis ed by physicians to give up foot ball as result of a shoulder in jury he suffered last year. Danny Bagwell has been spending the summit in Ohio with relatives, and may not return to school here. Ronnie Tignor, a regular offensive guard last season, has given up football. The loss of the five lettermen leaves Coach Gamble and his aides with 12 lettermen, four of whom were considered regulars last year when the Mountaineers finished second in the Southwest Conference for the second strai ght season. Offsetting the returnees is the graduation of 12 lettermen, of whom five were offensive start ers and at least two other regu lars on defense. Chief among the losses are all Conference halfback Don Glad den and dual-trophy winner guard David Plonk. The latter won the Gastonia Gazette trophy as the outstanding lineman in the area and also won the an nual blocking trophy given here by his father. Other graduation jlosses, plus the summer injuries, have left the Mountaineers with only one letter tackle and no veterans at center, two mighty important sp ots in the line. The run-down by positions, no ting the letter losses and return ees and new hopefuls: ENDS — Only loss is Don Par ker, reserve flanker last season. Four lettermen return, including Mike Ware and Gary Blanton, a long with top reserves Chip Thorbum and Jerry Adalms. TACKLES — Four letter tack les have departed, headed by re gulars Max Lee and Gilbert Brazzell, along with subs Derek Smiith and Larry Miller. Pending the return of Chalmers Johnson, the only vet tackle is Harold (Tank) Crawford, a staunch de fensive performer, last year. Steve Harmon, Dale Hollifield and jimmy Crawford are squad members from last year who may move up. Two big sopho mores show promise, Eddie Ross and Jerry Rickard. GUARDS — David Plonk was due to be (the only loss here/with five lettermen expected to rel turn, butt for various reasons the group of returnees has been cut to two. Charles Bums and Steve Henderson are ithe lone letter guards now ticketed for action. Jimmy Bikard, Ronnie Tignor and Danny Bagwell are the trio of missing guards! Another hope ful for Ithe position is a scrap ping 130-pounder, Curtis Floyd. CENTER — Three letter cen ters departed, Karl Moss and Gene Bowers from the offensive unit and linebacker Jimmy Lit tlejohn. Mike Dixon is the lone holdover and he saw only brief action in *58. QUARTERBACKS — Don Fish er returns for his third year at this post, with his ‘58 under study, James Robbs, a threat to move up. Wally Harris, brother of former K. M. star, George, is a fine future prospect for the sig nal-calling role. HALFBACKS — Scatback Don Gladden is the big loss here and his touchdown shoes must be filled. Reserve Freddie Ham. bright is another departed ball toter. Punch Parker was due to head Ithe halfback delegation, but his injury has revamped plans, leaving Phil Mauney and Paul Hendricks as the only two letter halfbacks still on hand. Both saw limited ball-carrying action last year. Tommy Houser and Alton Stewart are two pre mising sophomore runners up from the Jayvee team. FULLBACK — Offensive regu lar Jimmy Blaniton returns and defensive regular Wray Plonk has departed from this position. They were the only itwo full backs last year, and a newcom er must be developed to back-up Blaniton. Cannon Kids Still Battling Wilmington is in the drivers seat, but Kannapolis continues to make a battle of it for the state Legion junior baseball crown. The Cannons copped their sec ond game, against three wins for the coastal kids, Tuesday night by a 4-2 score and as result /sent the series back to Wilmington for ithe sixth and possible seven the games. Larry James,- who won three of the games over Mt. Holly in the Western N. C. playoffs, held Wilmington to four hits, only one over th® last eight innings in Tuesday’s tussle at Kannapo lis. It was the second time in the tournament that Kannapolis has battled back with elimination staririg them in the face. Wilmington is seeking its sec ond State junior title in four years, haying defeated Coach Fred Withers’ Gastonia team in the 1956 state finals. Shelby has won the past two state crowns. Kannapolis is a three-time win ner in state Legion history, the last time being in 1952. Seeded Playeis Set Pace As Net Tournament Moves Into Semi-Finals The Kings Mountain tennis tournament proceeded at a slow pace into the semi-finals rounds of singles and doubles this week with seeded performers leading the why. Two-time defending champion Rudy Frazier and Harold Jack son became the first two singles I performers to gain the semi-fin als bracket Frazier defeated Keith Layton, 6-2, 6-1, in a second round mat ch; and Jackson was carried to three sets before beating Joe Austin, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2. The two winners meet in a semis match. Second-seeded John Warlick won his first-round match this week, defeating Jim Macorason, 6-0, 6-1, and thus is due to play R. G. Plonk in a quarter-finals match. Steve Kesler and John McGin nis have not played their first round match, opposite Ed Led ford who defeated Jerry McCar ter earlier. The,semi-finals round of the doubles was completed this week when Rudy Frazier and Roger Stowe deefated Jim Macomson and Julian Wray, 6-3, 10-8. That sends Frazier and Stowe against Ed Ledford and Bill Childers who won their opener earlier. The top bracket doubles semi finals pits defending champions John Warlick and Fred Plonk a gainat R. G. Plonk and Joe Aus tin. PUNCH PARKER . . one of the wounded Jetty McCarter Coaching Aide At Ware Shoals Jerry McCarlter, former Kings Mountain high school athletic sttar will move into the football coaching ranks this autumn. The exJVtounJtaineer three sport ace will serve as a practice teacher and assistant grid coach alt Ware Shoals, S.

He will leave Kings Mountain this week end for Ware Shoals to be on hand for the opening of pre-season drills on Monday morning. K. M. Coaches Pick-Up Grid Points Mountaineer coaches John Gamble and Bill Bates were highly impressed with the South Carolina football clinic they attended in Columbia last week. They attended clinic classes conducted by two successful young coaches, Darrell Royal of Texas and Ben Martin of the U. S. Air Force Academy. Ro yal discussed his split-T for mation and his organization t which is returning the Long horns to a foremost position in collegiate football. Martin explained his “flying T" and his system which help ed the Falcons gain a Cotton Bowl berth last year. Both coaches showed pictur es of several of their top ga mes last year, including Texas' kig upset over Oklahoma
