ty receives $7,666 this month as its

NEWS-SHORT. 9c and 35c
Gaffney, Louie Lyles, and pitcher 1
Zeb Eaton all connected with safe'
blows in the big inning.
Clinto'i rushed in another run in 1
the sixth oh Guy Prater’s one-base
clout.
Eaton held the Warriors in his
hand all night as he gave up only
five hits.
Watts’ lone run came in the sixth
when Thomas blasted for the wall, i
The Cavaliers pounded the Watts’|
pitcher, Potts, for nine hits.
All of Clinton's hits were of the
one-base species, since no Clintonian
was able to get extra bases on Potts’ i
offerings.
The Watts’ Warriors had a bad de
fensive night by committing five er
rors.
Clinton went into the game with
out the aid of their regular second,
baseman, Frankie Aravelo. Lyles held
down the position quite well, but
Blackstock errored one ball from
Lyles’ regular shortstop spot.
Clinton will play Watts here Fri
day night, while the Joanna Hornets'
will journey to Riegleland.
Joanna 2, Ware Shoals 0
The Joanna Hornets were bounced
out of the second place position they
had occupied for so long last week,
but they bounded right back and
went ahead of the Ware Shoals Rie-
gels. Tiie Hornets insured their sec
ond place spot by blanking the Ware
Shoalers Tuesday night, 2 to 0. The
Clinton Cavaliers remained ahead of
the Central Carolina field by a three-
game lead which they held over the
rejuvenated Hornets.
The Hornets suffered last week af
ter losing some of their key men, but
Manager Dan Kirby put a stop to this
and hired four new ball players.
Among them were former big leag
uer Buddy Lewis, Rube Melton, who
shut out the Riegels Tuesday night,
and a first baseman who answers to
the name of Brock.
All of these men are not only dan
gerous in their own different depart
ments. Melton was a winning pitcher
with the Greenville Spinners in 1949.
Lewis saw a good deal of action with
the Washington Senators. He is reg
ularly an infielder but in his debut
with Joanna he roamed tne right field
position in the absence of regular
Babe Ellis. Brock is a big man. about
the size of Joanna's other first base-
man, Jake Dan^ls, and he stands up
to the plate like he means business.
He also handies himself well around
the initial sack.
Tne Hornets rode to victory be
hind the tight four-hit pitching of
Rube Melton, who sat the Riegels
down with a 2-0 defeat to consider.
Although a little wild and running
the count to three-two a lot of times,
Melton put something on the ball
which the visiting Riegels just could
n’t get hold of. They connected with
the ball but their blows weren’t solid
and would either go into the infield
dirt or they would pop up. Melton
struck out three and walked three
over the road to winning the game.
Joanna and Ware Shoals breezed
along for three scoreless inqings, but
the Joannians finally broke the ice in
the fourth. Fred Matsh singled and
moved to third when hammering Hal
Walther drilled a single. Marsh scor
ed when first baseman Brock lifted
a high fly to deep left field.
Joanna’s second and last run came
in the sixth inning to ice the game
for^ the Hornets, although they al
ready had the margin of victory.
Paul Fouts got on the basepaths by
an error amd was moved to second
on a sacrifice by Fred Marsh. Clean
up man Walther again came through
in a clutch and belted another single,
this time scoring Fouts from second
base.
Bill Voiselle was rationing his hits
but the Joannians managed to group
their hits to produce runs. Voiselle
gave up only six hits, as has been
true of the pitchers of the Central
Carolina league, who have been giv
ing up precious few hits. Voiselle
fanned four with his knuckle ball
and - was unable to control it against
two batters.
Walther, Joanna third baseman,
was the only man to garner more
than one hit all night. He connected
with a double and two singles in four
trips to the plate. The new-comers,
Brock and Lewis, were also trying to
prove themselves and they picked up
a hit apiece. Lewis and Brock also
stole a base each. Fred Marsh col
lected the other hit for the Joan
nians.
Phillips, Wright, Snider and Man
ager Red Barbery were the only Rie-
belmen who could get solid wood
into something thrown by the roar
ing Rube.
Riegel second baseman Ray Bow
den was tossed out of the game in
the early part because he argued a
little too feverishly with the umpire.
There were a good many heated ar
guments since both teams wanted
this game and were out for l^lood.
Both pitchers had a couple of er
rors committed behind them, but
only one produced a run. Barbery
and Voiselle booted chances for the
Riegels and third baseman Walthers
gungled two hot grounders for the
Hornets.
Ninety-three descendants of the
late Absolam and,Matilda Thompson
Coleman held a family reunion at
Camp Fellowship, Lake Greenwood,
on Sunday, July 23. This was the
first gathering of the Coleman fam
ily in 17 years, the last reunion being
held in 1933 at the home of the late
L. M. D. Young near here.
Of the seven children born, to this
couple, one son, James Haddon Cole
man, 80, survives and is living at
Cross Hill. He possesses the sterling
qualities of this fine couple.
Dinner was served picnic style
from long, well-ladened tables.
An enjoyable day was had by all
present and it is planned to make
