•) JFins Area Tourney «) 9 by Tony I'ompkins Champion’s #2 is the only local team left in the District 23 Tournament being held at City Stadium. Here's hoping they make it to the area tour nament. Champion’s ItZ continues to lead the Industrial League with Carolina Throwing, Cra- ftspun and Duplex following closely behind. Games this weekend could really deter mine the seedings for the playoffs as wellas the champ ionship. The Virginia Beach “Pile- drivers” beat the McAden- vllle “Reds” three out of lour games to win the World Series of Slowpitch softball last week. Shortstop H.T. Waller of Virginia Beach was named Most Valuable Player. Out fielder Johnny Dollar of Vir ginia Beach was like money in the bank as he hit 8 home runs in the series. Howard’s Furniture contin ues to lead the Tar Heel Lea gue and their hitters continue to punish opposing pitchers. In games with Champion’s #1 recently, they hit six home runs up into the graveyard. That is quite a ways for a soft- ball to travel. Be sure and mail your All- Star choices into the Mirror, as we only will run the con test for two more weeks. Pick your All-Star teams for both the Industrial and Church Leagues. Watch for the pairings in the Industrial League Playoffs to be announced next week. The re should be some surprizes. See you next week. INDUSTRIAL RESULTS Gas. Knit (F) 7-OSkldmore’s Craftspun (F) 7-0 Spectrum Duplex 6-5 Dicey Spectrum 17-2 Mica Mine INDUSTRIAL STANDINGS Won Loss 1 Pet. Champion’s #2 20 2 .909 Car.

If Hank Aaron breaks Babe Ruth’s home run record, wUl sportswriters continue to de scribe every ball hit over the fence as a“Ruthianclout...?” David Lemmonds, a former baseball pupil of UNC’s Wal ter Rabb, is doing a highly re spectable job in the pitching rotation for the Chicago White Sox. Coach Rabb always liked Lemmonds’ competitive fire. The Cherokee 200, the big gest and richest event ever staged here at Cherokee Spe edway, is attracting some of the all-time greats in the stock car racing world for a shot at $6,000 in prize money Saturday night. The big even will feature 200 laps of racing, with 120 laps in the Late Model Sportsman Di vision and 80 laps in the Hobby Division.

Saturday’s special race will begin promptly at 7 p.m., one hour earlier than on regular racing nights. Gaffney’s Charlie Blanton, winner of the last two Sport sman events here, is rated as the favorite, but in such a big test of men and machinery, anything can happen. The ve teran race driver, who pilots a Toy Bolton-engineered ’69 Camaro, has won 13 races at area tracks this season. Gaffney’s Jerry Bullock is expected to lead a large field of Hobbies that will include Morganton’s Arthur Bollin ger, Gaffney’s Jerry Gantt, Spartanburg’s Don Sisk, and many others.
