BREVARD LIFTS
DOUBLE BILL
Makes Strong Start Satur-
day Defeating Green
River Team

ming two games from Green River,
runner-up in the first half.
Barley was on the mound in the
first game which ended Brevard
4. Green River 2. Rollins did the
twirling in the afternoon to win
5-3. ~,
Good crowds witnessed both
games, with an exceptionally good
turnout of paid admissions in the
afternoon. With both teams play
ing a first class brand OF ball the
fans stuck it out in each game I'M
iii the last out was made.
At the noon hour Manager AL
KYLE was host to the Tanners and
the Green River aggregation at
luncheon in the Galloway dining
room. About 35 players and Wis
itors were present for the chicken
dinner that was entirely enjoyable
to all.
MORNING GAME
Green River scored in the first
half when Frye muffed a hot
grounder to let a man on, fol-
lowed by a single and a long fly
out for the tally.
Brevard came back in the sec
ond to score when Deal hit a long
one over the fence for four bases.
It was then nip and tuck until the
sixth when a m.scue by Haney at
short put Byrd safe at first, after
Jones had struck out. Deal drew
a pass, followed by Lee who
grounded out to first. A free pass
to Tom Carson loaded the bases,
and with two men out, three on,
Eb Clayton socked long double
that cleared the bases and won the
ball game. Eb tried to stretch his
long one to center into three bases
and got caught in the mixup.
Green River made hard try in
the seventh, but failed to put the
final click in. Smith, first up, sim
gled and went to second on Shu-
ler's perfect sacrifice, and scored
when Clayton failed to handle a
hot one at second in proper style.
Next man up singled, putting two
on, but Catcher Safit was an easy
out, Bailey to Lee, and Johnny
Jackson failed to connect for the
third out.
Barley had only five strikeouts
to his credit but held the visiting
sluggers to five hits, only two of
which came in one inning, and
gave no free passes.
Johnny Jackson, an old head at
the game, was still there with
plenty of stuff on the ball, and
struck out 10 men, allowed five
hits, but walked five men, two of
whom were costly passes. ..
Smith, first sacker for Green
River was leading hitter of the
morning affair with a single and
triple out of four tries.
AFTERNOON GAME,
Rollins, recent Asheville high
school recruit, turned in a good
afternoons work on the mound
for Brevard, and singled at time
" point to add to the score. The
Green River outfit nipped him for
10 safeties, but they were scat
tered over q wide area and did no
serious damage.
Swami, starting for the visitors,
was forced off the mound in the
fifth when the Tanners started a
rally behind the home run of Tom
Carson. Smith, poppy first base
man for the visitors, went to the
mound and refused any more hits
during the game, but the damage
was already done.
Clayton was big noise with the
bat in the afternoon for Brevard,
getting two singles in, three times
up. Johnny Jackson, who went to
left field when Swami was re-
lieved of his pitching duties for
Green River, had a perfect day
with two for two-a double and
single
The new lineup for the Tanners
looked good in both games. and
the Brevard fans were highly
pleased with the showing made.
