Pat’s Peckings By NEALE PATRICE Who's Favorite In Junior Race? Legion junior baseball arrived on the sports scene a gain this week, with slightly-less fanfare than often has been the case with the summer kid diamond program. The season, in fact, slipped upon us and the teams headed into the Area Four race without anyone having a concrete idea about the season’s favorite ... I y member your past junior baseball seasons, you recall that some team always was touted as “loaded” in the pre-sea son pickings ... Usually you could put the finger on a Gas tonia or a Shelby club as the potential power, and m re cent seasons the Line-Cherries rated highly on the stren gth of such pitchers as Tony Cloninger and Ronnie Hovis. The Area favorite as the teams took their first swings this week, however, hasn't shown itself . .. The folks who usually claim to know about such things haven t put one of the clubs out on the odds-on favorite’s limb. Closest thing to one of the clubs admitting strength came from Pop Simmons of Shelby recently, and that might be a tip-off because, as you know, the veteran men tor usually lets his kids take care of their winning on the field ... But in recent gab session with some fellow coach es, Pop let it out that, “we are going all the way ’ ... Per haps, Pop was kidding, but you never know ... For one thing, Shelby figures to have the depth of pitching that it takes for survival in junior baseball . . . Charles Noggle, Ed Kouri, Harry Mauney and Hugh Hardin provide mound strength. The overall play in the Area, and throughout junior baseball, for that matter, should be improved this sea son, as result of the new rule which has given several players on almost every team an extra year of eligibility . . Youths 18 years of age and high school graduates can play this summer which should mean a faster brand of Legion Baseball. Kings Mountain, for instance, received a big boost from the new rule which permits all boys born January 1, 1943 and thereafter to play this summer . . . Some nine players on the current squad gained the extra year of eli gibility, including six holdovers from last summer ... Boys given the added year of eligibility include Ronnie Pearson, Bud Sanders, Tommy Barrett, Punch Parker and Randall Haynes, all members of last year’s team, along with Ken Cash, a newcomer. One Weekend Game On KM Home Card Local Legion officials aren’t particularly pleased with the first round Area schedule as drawn by commissioner John Yandle but they plan to make the best of the half dozen games here. The slate phows that Kings Mountain will play five of its first-round games in the* first three playing dates of the week (Monday-Tuesday-or-Wednesday), and oply one'on the last two weekend dates . . . Thfc breaki-dowm by day& shows one game on Monday, two each on Tuesday and Wednesday, and one on Saturday, with none on Friday. Dating the season in junior baseball, the Area Four race continues through June 28, and the Area playoffs must be completed before the opening of the state semi finals (between Area champions) on July 19 . . . The state finals must begin by July 28 and the state champion crowned by August 10 . . . The Ole North State winner a gain will play in the new-style six-team regionals to be held at Sumter, with other state champs from South Car olina, Georgia, Virginia, Florida and Alabama. The six-team regionals and the eventual eight-team national finals (thus eliminating the sectional tourna ments) were the brain-children of Lou Brissie, but he stay ed around only one year of the new plan, designed to trim travel and expenses. Brissie recived the heave-ho from National Legion of ficials in March with the hint that junior baseball may be in for a “de-emphasis” on the national scale ... It seems that Brissie put in his time strictly with junior baseball, and the powers-that-be felt that the national commission er should devote some of his time to other Legion duties, for budgetary reasons. Former KM Coaches Head Other Clubs A pair of former Kings Mountain coaches are heading the Legion programs for a couple of neighbors this sum mer . . . Ex-Mountaineer coach Jack Sink, now of Myers Park High in Charlotte, is tutoring Post 262 club in the Queen City for the third straight year . . . Buddy Lewis, mentor of the KM juniors one summer, is the new athletic! officer and heads the board of coaches for Gaston Post 23.| Gastonia’s Chicago-Cub style board of coaches is something new in the legion ranks, and Lewis admits the innovation came-about for financial reasons, with the mentors serving gratis. While the Legion junior and high school baseball pro grams are closely inter-meshed with the use of the same players, etc., it’s interesting to note that Jack Sink is one of only two coaches of the 14 teams in Area Four who al so tutors the high school baseball team in the same town . . . The other is Wally Carpenter at Rutherfordton ... The other coaches are “imports” from county schools, such as Bill Powell here and Pop Simmons at Shelby, a mentor from a rival community such as Gaither Cline of Gastonia High and the Belmont juniors, or coaches unaffiliated with 'Jthe schools. ’This week’s issue of The Spoiling News includes the first of four special editions for the season on Legion base ball and one of the items of interest is the fact that the “junioi*” tag has been dropped by the American Legion in referring to the baseball piogram . . . Henceforth, the pio gram will be known as “American Legion Baseball.” . . . That’s all well and good, but after some 35 years of “jun ior baseball”, it will be hai'd for the fans and followers to make the change. Back to the “favorite’s tag” for this ax*ea, one source puts the finger on Forest City and Chai'lotte 9 . . . Those two may rank with the top clubs, Forest City certainly having the pitching in the likes of Johnny Hawkins and Jerry Steffey, and the Charlotte club has two of the better players of the area in Gary Black and Dickie Kelly ... But neither appears to be the type of powerhouse which has often opened the season as the odds-on favorite in Area Four ... Time will tell. _' __________--j Juniors Divide McCarter Victim Of $ix Errors In 7-3 Defeat Ernest McCarter’s mound luck follows (the same pattern It set last summer . . . bad. The Kings Mountain juniors right-handed huifter from York ran into ithe same brand of luck which plagued him most: of last year. He hurled a six-hitter at Charlotte 262 team at Highland Park in Charlotte, but was .the victim of a half-dozen errors and last, 7-3. Five of the runs were unearned as the defense fell completely a part in the seventh inning when three errors premitted four un earned runs ito score. That wild frame proved tto be the margin for Coach Jack Sink’s Charlotte club. McCarter's mound performan ce identically matched that by Kenny Wiillson against Mit. Holly the nighit before . . . each allow ing six hits, each walking two and fanning ten. But where ithe fielding was sharp against (the Hollies, dit sagged against Char lotte. Thie right-hander fanned at least one baitter in seven of the frames, and he was aided by one double play, ironically, just the inning before the same infield blew up with three miscues For ithe second straight night, Lawrence ‘Bolin was one of the KM team’s leading hitters, with a double and single, and this time he shared the bat heroics with Robert Munciay. The stocky young product from Glover rapped a pair of singles, one of the knocks driving home two runs, and Munday scored the other run after some daring base running. Bolin and Munday obtained the (hits as Kings Mountain pick ed up its first two tallies in the Sixth, to trim the Charlotte lead to 3-2. Bolin was wiped out on a fielder’s choice following his 'blow, but Ron Pearson and Pun ch Parker who walked came a round to ‘score on Munday’s sing le to left. Mtunday started a mild KM ral ly in the ninth, walking and stealing 'both second and third, scoring on ipinch hitter Barry Gibson's sacrifice fly. iBut all that came too little too late for Kingp Mountain. Charlotte tallied two in the fourth on a ’single by Byron Slaughter and A1' Barnett’s long triple, the latter coming home on McCarter’s wild pitch. Those were the lone earned runs for the Charlotte nine. (A third-out dropped ball in right field toy Richard Little ad mitted another Charlotte run in the fifth, and three infield er rors went along with a single and a walk to hand the host club four unearned tallies in the sev enth. Cud Sanders committed two of the bobbles, Bolin the other. Punch Parker pulled the field ing play of the game for Kings Mountain, a throw from center field to nab a runner at the plate for the final out of the third frame. With two away Jack Scott doubled, and Joe Tur ner singled to center, but Parker filed a strike in the air to Ron Pearson to nip the runner toy ten feet. Kings Mt.

BASEBALL GR1DDERS _ This is rvry much baseball season and these three players are starring for the Kings Mountain Legion jun iors. the starting outfield, for instance, in the home opener Monday night And if you chan ge the sport to football, the trio would com prise three-fourths of one of the finest prep backfields in the Carolinas. Left to right are Robert Monday, the dazzling running back from Clover who scored two touchdowns a gainst the Mountaineers last fall, Ernest Mc Carter who quarterbacked York to the state finals in its class last fall, and Punch Parker, the 20 TD maker for the Mountaineers. (Photo by Claire Gils tad) Jerry Morris Selected As Catcher On All-State High School Team Jerry Morris has added anoth er honor to his growing collec tion. The Bethwaire senior has been named as one of the catchers on the all-state high school 'baseball team, selected by The Greensbo ro News. The announcement of the mythical team was made Sun day by the paper Which annual ly selects all-state dubs in all prep sports. Morris was one of the half dozen all-state performers pic tured in the article which also noted that the slugging southpaw hitter was the top stickman on the team, with a phenomenal .627 batting average on the campaign. The allstate nomination is the second honor in the last two weeks for the Buccaneer and for mer Kings Mountain Legion ju nior star. He also has been se lected as a memlber of the wes tern teem to play in the second annual East-'West all -star base ball game in Greenville, S. C., on June 16-17. Writing for the Daily News, sports scribe Tom Northington quoted Bethware Coach Bill Po well on Morris: “He”s just the boy a coach wants behind the plate ail the time. A tremendous play, no question about it. Seven players tried to steal on him and all sev en were thrown out.” 'Morris has been the regular catcher and top hitter for Beth ware High for four seasons and he also was the catcher and the leading hitter two years for th«' Kings Mountain juniors. He was the runner-up in the batting race the other season. His long-range bat bashings this year included five doubles, two triples and tiwo homers. Morris’ ail-state catching part ner on the Daily News team is Dave Morgan from Greensboro Senior High. The pair of Southwest Confer ence pitching aces, Ronnie Ho vis of CherryvUle and Johnny Hawkins of Forest City were picked on the 16-member team, Hovis as a pitcher and Hawkins as a utility outfielder. Other players from this area named to the mythical club are Gary Black of Charlotte Garin ger and Gene Isenhour of Hick ory, both outfielders. The all-state honor isn't new to Morris, who also was selected on the Greensboro paper’s state wide mythical American Legion junior baseball dub last summer. Blddix Posted 4-2 Mound Mark Bobby Biddix won crtermklt of the games the Wake fbrest freshman baseball team oopped this spring. The righlt-hander from Beth ware and former Kings Moun tain Legion junior posted a sea son”s mark of four wins and two losses in the Baby Deacon’s seven-seven year. Biddix hurled a win over each of the Daes’ Big Four opponents, Duke, Carolina, and State, and won his other game from Presby terian Junior College. His pair of mound losses were to Carolina and Wingate. The slender right-hander also put on weight during his fresh man season, now tips the scales at 180. Pitching Depth And Late-Season Improvement Cany Duke To finals BY NEALE PATRICK / The Atlantic Coast Conference, proud of its heritage in football and basketball, is methodically acquiring the rating as the king of college baseball in Dixie. Duke’s Blue Devils had it re latively easy in Gastonia last weekend to captHRe the district 3 NOAA baseball tournament with two straight victories, thus giving the ACC its fourth district diamond diadem in a row. The 'Blue -Devils, a Johnny come-lately club in the NCAA play, whipped fifth-ranked na tionally Florida State, 7-2, and Southern Conference champion West Virginia. 7-3, for the pair of triumphs which send Duke to the college World Series in Oma ha. Former national champion (in 1959) Oklahoma State is the first foe tor ithe Dukes on Friday' night. Duke is ithe fourth straight ACC team to win the district event at Gastonia, ithe third in a row to capture the title without the loss of a game. Carolina last year and Clemson in 1959 also won the crown without a loss in the double-elimination tourna-! memt. Clemson also copped in; ‘58 but lost a game. Coach Ace Parker was beaming: broadly after the Saturday night! final victory over West Virginia.! “1 can’t understand what! some people are saying about! this Duke club, that we backed-j into the district tournament just because Carolina lost two games to Virginia,” observed the Blue Devil mentor, “We won our way! into the tournament, winning' seven of the last eight games of the season, and the only lass was a non-conference game with Navy. “This Duke club is the district three champion because it has improved throughout the season altar we lost four straight to Flo rida State to open the year and dropped five of our first six ga mes' Parker pointed out. “The boys began playing good base ball after that and the turning point of the season was our game at Chapel Hill a few weeks ago ... we went over there and started hitting the ball hard, winning 10-4, and the boys have been hitting hard ever since.” Parker looks with confidence on the college World Series, thanks to the best-balanced pit ching staff he has ever coached. *T have three pitchers I would n’t be afraid to stairt in any game,” he says of Don Altman, Butch Williams and Ronnie Ka lish, “And I have three good re liefers, too.” That’s quite a change from Duke's other trip to the college world series, in 1953. “I had only two pitchers I could count on then, Joe Lewis and George Craver, and Craver blistered his finger in the second game and was of no more use, and Lewis had to pitch in every game.” recalled Parker. Duke staged laite rallies to wrap-up both wins at Gastonia. After seeing an early 2-0 lead deadlocked, the Blue Devils pu shed over five runs in a wild eighth inning against Florida State. A three-base throwing er ror on Kalish’s sacrifice burnt, followed by five walks, four for cing home runs broke the game open. In the finals Saturday, Duke trailed 1-0 until the sixth when they tallied three, added another on the tournament’s lone homer by Rex McKinley and three more in the ninth to oust West Vir ginia. Parker’s three pitching aces shared the responsibilities. Wil liams and Kalish coming to Alt man’s resuce in the first game, and Altman lending aid to Wil liams in the championship bat tle. » t Eight Teams Play In Local little League Eight teams are ready to go in the Kings Mountain Little Lea gue baseball program for the 19 61 season.

Recreation Director Jake Early said that the same four teams which have participated in the local program for several years will return far another season. They are Moose, Rebels, Mauney Mill and Mar grace Mill. The league is for local youths 13-to-15 years of age and is the circuit bridging the baseball gap between Little League and Le gion junior baseball. The league plays a local schedule and is not affiliated wiith the state or na tional program, although it does follow their rules regarding ages. Early said he will draw the schedule for the league within the next week, with afternoon games being scheduled far the 'lower level field at Deal Street Recreation Center and also some games at City Stadium when they do not interfere with Le gion games and practice. The four coaches have been signed for the chibs, as follows: Willie Grice far Moose, Will Jones for Mauney, Vernon Smith for Rebels, and Leroy Styers for Maiwaoe, .. . i Kenny Wilson Hurls 3-0 Victory j Over Mt. Holly In First Start Impressive was (the word foe it as the Kings Mountain Legion juniors opened (their season with a victory here Monday night. The 3-0 triumph over Mt. Holly Pawareek gave the local lads an early jump in Area Pour action and also was ithe first opening game victory for the Kings Mountain kids in several years. The past had no bearing, how ever, on ithe performance of the Otis D. Green Pioisit 155 club which picked up the (three runs early in Ithe game and held on with some sharp fielding behind the impressive six-hit pitching of Kenny Willson. Right-hander Wilson went the nine-inning distance fanning ten and walking only two. He was plagued by base-runners in six of the nine frames, but the twin killimgs helped him out of a pair of possible jams, including a game-ending double-play. He fanned at least one batter in all except itwio Innings, iron ically, ithe pair of frames in which the Infield backed him up with twin-kills. Third-sacker Lawrence Bolin and second 'baseman Randall Haynes teamed-up for the double play in the second inning, the play ending the frame in which Mt. Holly 'landed the first two runners on base. Then in the ninth, Tommy Barrett started the twin killing from shortstop, with Haynes the middle man for the relay to first to end the game. '< Kings Mountain bunched five of its seven hits for (the game in the first three frames for the three tallies. Ernest McCarter, playing in right field, started bath scoring frames. He singled to open tthe second, advanced when Robert Munday reached first after the catcher dropped his third strike. Haynes sent McCainter home with an infield single and Munday scored as Wilson gained life on an error. A pair of opposite field extra base blows accounted for the third run in the third. With two away, right-handed hitting McCarter bashed a triple down the right field foul line and he scored when the left handed swinging Munday pow dered a double on the left field bank. Unaware of the ground rule, Munday legged his hit in to a triple, but was sent back to second. Kings Mountain missed anoth er opportunity in the fifth when Lawrence Boflin opened with a single and (two walks loaded the sacks. Lefty Helton came along in relief alt this point to fan the final two batters. Helton con tinued to give Kings Mountain trouble, whiffing the first two in the sixth, and another southpaw, Gary Lemmond fanned the side in the eighth. Munday, the youngster from Clover who local football fans re member iso-well for his halfback performance against the Moun taineers here last fall, and is now on “our side”, pulled the fielding gem of the game. He made a running, falling catch of Dave Lemmond’s pop fly down the left field line opening the ninth. Munday snared the ball just as he crossed the line with a great final effort.
