A Conversation, Four Months Later
Picking up the pieces from the sports scene and the
shocking disclosures of the basketball betting scandals
hitting this area are shattering-enough to provide plenty
of pieces for the proud sports lovers of the Ole North State
to reassemble.
The stories of Lou Brown and Doug Moe of the Tar
Heels being in someway connected with the cage scandal
recalls to mind a conversation I had with a University of
North Carolina staff member shortly before the opening of
the 1960-61 basketbtll campaign . . . The story, as told to
me a few days before the opening of the collegiate cage
season, didn’t mean much to me at the time . . . Now, the
full effect hits with tremendous force.
Discussing the basketball prospects at Carolina, the
name of Lou Brown came into the conversation ... He had
been a reserve for a couple of years and the question was
posed if he would be a regular during the ensuing season.
Our informant, close enough to the situation to know
whereof he spoke, revealed: “Coach McGuire has kicked
him off the squad.”
Queried as to the reason, the Chapel Hill visitor ex
plained:
“Brown is too close to Doug Moe, and Coach McGuire
is afraid that he will influence Doug’s play this season and,
of course, Doug is the kdy to our succes at Carolina.”
At the time, all of that seemed merely to be a yarn of
too-close friendship between a couple of players on an ath
letic team, one a star, the other a bench-sitter . . . The
coach, it appeared, thought the basketball team could do
without such close friendships and perhaps cliques.
Now, the question comes up: Did McGuire have some
evidence then of Brown’s role as a contact man for the
gamblers? . .. Perhaps not... But it is strange how a con
versation gets through to me four months later.
More Light On KM Night Athletics
More light will be thrown on the subjects at City Sta
dium in the near future.
Bob Maner, chairman of the Kings Mountain recre
ation commission, discloses that more powerful lights will
be installed in City Stadium very soon, probably in time
for the American Legion junior baseball season.
The commission has spent $8,500 to purchase the
more powerful bulbs to be installed on the same poles and
yard-arms . . . The new and more-powerful bulbs will re
place the ones now in use and while no additional pole
units will be erected, the candle-power for the stadium will
be greatly increased.
The City of Kings Mountain electrical department
will furnish the labor for the installations, as sobn as they
pan tackle the task, according to Maner.
“We will have the same number of bulbs and lights
we have been using at City Stadium,” explains the recre
ation commission head, “But they will have much more po
wer and will provide much better lighting for night
sports.”
The lights removed from City Stadium will be install
ed at the lower level field at Deal Street Recreation area
and at Davidson recreation park for Negroes . . . Maner
said that 44 lights will be installed at each park thus pro
viding facilities for night athletics.
He said that he is hopeful that the additional lights
removed from City Stadium can be placed at the Deal
Street tennis courts.
“The removal of the lights to Deal Street and David
son Parks will be a big boost to our recreation program,”
he continued, “We haven’t had the lighting facilities for
nighttime athletics for our adults and these changes will
permit night softball and other activities.”
Mountaineers Claim Top Stars
Conference meets still are on the agenda for Kings
Mountain High track and golf performers and the Moun
taineers can claim some of the top stars in both sports on
basis of regular-season matches.
Turk Falls and Franklin Dean have proven themsel
ves to be the top two prep golfers in the Southwest Confer
ence, the pair winning or sharing the low medal score in
each of the six dual meets for the Mountaineers this
spring...
Both posted the low medal score in two matches each,
and the two shared low-scoring honors in the other two . .
. They have played in the number one and two positions on
the high school golf team, and as the Mountaineers’ top
twosome have not lost a match to the opponents’ top pair
all season. r
Turk and Franklin certainly rate with the favorites
in the WNCHSAA golf tournament to be held in Morgan
ton on May 15.
Although he was defeated in two of his sprint special
ties in the Southwest Conference track meet in Shelby last
Iriday, Alton Stewart remains the league’s fastest human
• • • His times in the three dash events (100, 220, and 440)
were the fastest posted by a SWC runner in multi-team
meets this spring.
He has been beaten in the 100-yard dash only once in
six meets this season (by Lester Jenkins of Cherrvville),
avTnSed that loss by beating the same runner in the
220 of the same meet, and beating Jenkins in both sprints1
the next time the teams met . . . Stewart copped all three1
dash events in three meets this year, and has racked-up
13 first places in the dash events of six meets this spring.
Tagged as one of the better halfback prospects for the
Southwest Conference next season, Stewart’s dash times
compare favorably with Don Gladden, the speedster a cou
P e of years ago . . Gladden posted the better 100-yard
dash of 10.3 seconds, compared to Stewart’s 10 4 Both
runners have run the 220 in 24 seconds, Stewart' accom
plishing the feat twice this season.
Wilson Ineligible
For Rest Of Year
Kenny Wilson, right-handed
pitching ace lor the Mountain
eers tor the past two seasons,
has been declared ineligible for
athletic competition for the re
mainder of the 1961 baseball
season.
He was declared ineligible due
to scholastic reasons.
Wilson was the mound winner
in the Mountaineers lone victory
of the season (12-2 over Chase).
He had lost two games. Last
year, he posted a 4-1 mark in
high school and was the unde
feated ace of the Legion junior
team.
He Is eligible for the Legion

with the necessary aruns for the
victory.
Starting fast with three hits
and a pair of runs in the first
Inning, then following up the
quick-start with a hit in each of
the next three frames, the Moun
taineers appeared fit and ready
to match the visitors. But. just
as suddenly, the attack went
stale and the local lads could not
obtain a hit in the final three
stanzas and went down in order
in the last two innings.
Punch Parker, the middle man
of three Mountaineer mounds
men, took the loss. He took over
for Barry Gibson in the fourth
frame, holding a 4-3 lead. But he
gave up three hits for as many
runs in the fifth and permitted
two more hits and the final tally
in the sixth.
That late outburst wiped-out
the lead the Mountaineers as
sembled with a pair of early two
run frames.
Kings Mountain scored two
runs in the first frame to match
a similar total by Central. Jerry
Adams drove home both tallies
with a bounce single over the
third-baseman’s head, admitting
James Robbs and Ronnie Pear
son, both of whom also had sin
gled.
Central went ahead again with
one in the third, Hodge’s double
driving it home.
The Mountaineers assumed the
lead in the third.
This time it was Larry Pear
son sending home both runs with
a sharp single to right. The blow
scored Ronnie Pearson who had
been hit by a pitched ball and
Perry Champion who gained life
on the shortstop’s error. Both had
advanced on Adams’ sacrifice
bunt.
And that was all the scoring
for the afternoon so far as the
Mountaineers were concerned.
Gibson obtained the Mountain
eers’ lone extra base hit of the
game, a triple over the right
fielders head with one out in the
second. But he stayed there as
his mates could not produce. ‘
Henry Hillard led off the four
th with a single, and Mike Huff
stickler and Charlie Goodson
drew consecutive two-out walks
in the fifth, but, again, fhef
Mountaineers failed in the
clutch.

Mounties-Shelby
Play Home Finale
Kings Mountain Mountain
eers, caught off base this year
in hopes of another high fin
ish in the Southwest Conferen
ce baseball race, play their
final home game of the season
here next Tuesday night again
st Shelby.
The game with the Cleveland
County neighbor which rJso
has found the going rougher
than usual is carded for City
Stadium at 7:30 p. m. and is
the home finale.
Coach Fred Withers’ club
lost a 6-1 decision to the Lions
in Shelby a couple of weeks a
go, the loss snapping a two
game winning streak for the
Mountaineers over the acrch ri
vals and also ending a six
game victory skein for local
kid clubs against Shelby.
Kings Mountain goes to Lin
colnton Friday afternoon at 4
o ’clock in Its other game in the
next week.
Punch Parker’s ponderous ho
mer came too late with too little
as the Mountaineers lost to For
est City, 4-3, here Tuesday mghit.
There was nothing “little” a
bout Punch's poke, it being a 380
foot drive to the right of the
scoreboard in the deepest reaches
of City Stadium, but as fate
would have It, the three runs
scoring on the play left the
Mountaineers one run back in
their bid to whip the Southwest
lead-sharing club.
The homer, first of the season
for a Kings Mountain player,
came with two opt and two on
in the lasit of the seventh.
Wally Harris, safe on an error
by the shortstop, started the rally
and he advanced to third on a
pair of Jerry Steffey wild pitches
while James Robbs was drawing
a walk . . . on five balls, inci
dentally, as umpire Art Talley
failed .to tally one ball..
Parker unloaded on Steffey’s
first pitch. It was a towering
drive over the centerfielders’
head. The poke landed in the
driveway to the right of the
scoreboard and skipped into the
hedges, and Punch streaked a
round the sacks for the inside the
park round-tripper,
Ronnie Pearson kept the hopes
alive, being hit by a pitched ball,
but Hawkins came in to fan Per
ry Champion on three bad pitch
es for the final out.
Parker’s hit was the third of
the game for the Mountaineers,
and certainly the most produc
tive. Barry Gibson obtained the
first knock off his mound foe, a
leadoff single in the third, hut a
double play erased that threat
Ron Pearson led off the sixth
with a single, but the next three
batters could not get the ball out
of the infield.
Steffey walked six Mountain
eers, providing other opportuni
ties, but the left-hander came
out of most of the jams with
strikeouts, which totaled 13 for
the game. The .Mountaineers had
baserunners in six of the frames,
the leadoff man reaching first
four times.
Barry Gibson had two bad in
nings, permitting two runs each
in the second and fourth on five
hits.
Forest City used doubles bj
Hawkins and Ronnie Lytle and £
single by Leroy Boheler for tw<
tallies in the second. Singles bj
Faye Earley and Steffy, a wall
and an error by Ron Pearson or
the pitchers blow admitted th<
pair in the fourth.
Parker’s homer was the firs
stroked by a Mountaineer playe
since Don Fisher slammed one a
Belmont late in the 1959 season
