  • Friday, May 6, 1966 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 9 Professional Baseball Has Close Race In Both Leagues By George Hood It's spring again and time for that age-old major league baseball "game of the week." Again there is a new and exciting race in both the American and National Leagues with many new stars moving in and the regular stand-outs taking the field, this should prove to be a colorful season. The current 1966 season bears one new face in particular — that being the new Atlanta Braves. After much debate and argument the old Milwaukee Braves packed up and moved to Atlanta's new $18 million park. We Southerners can now boast of having our first major league baseball team. Also on the move is the old Los Angeles Angels, who have now taken up house-keeping at their new home in Anaheim, California. The Angels' new stadium cost $24 million, much of which went to install modern conveniences for the fans. The Angels are now called the California Angels. In the American League, Cleveland has started the season with a bit of zip. Winning their first 10 games of the season, the Indians appear to be one of the main contenders for the American League crown. The Orioles of Baltimore are also off to a good start this season. Led by the .474 hitting of Frank Robinson, the Orioles have now won 10 games in a row, giving them a 12-1 record. They lead Cleveland by one-half game as of May 2. Cleveland's main asset this season Is its pitching. Sam McDowell boasts four wins against no defeats, including two straight one-hitters. Louis Tiant, leading the league with a 0.00 earned-run-av- erage, holds a 2-0 record. In the National League, three teams are fighting for the lead. Pittsburgh is leading the Los —Continued on page 11 Netters Nip Cumberland But Fall To Mars Hill By Joel Whitfield Western's tennis team kept their winning ways by defeating Cumberland, Ky. this past Friday, 5-2. The match was called at the end of the seven sets because of rain, but Western had a commanding lead and recorded their fourth victory to even their season record at four wins and four loses. Mickey Summers, Cumberland's No. one man from Ocala, Fla., who was undefeated going into the match, regarded as one of the best to face Kuszyk, went down to defeat for the first time: Summers was a former Florida Junior College Champion and was leading Cumberland to a winning season in the tough K.I.A.C. conference. Kuszyk, having lost only one match this season, was in par form in defeating Summers. He repeatedly kept Summers off balance with his over-hand Take your good time going home.

Only Lanier and Kale suffered defeats in the match. Bruce Loftin, playing No. five, recorded another victory to go along with the five wins already recorded. Kuszyk and Bolick continued their undefeated doubles play with 6-1, 7-5 wins and in the other doubles, Lanier and Kale re- deamed themselves by winning 10-8, 12-14, and 18-16. Western, trying to keep their winning streak going, played Mars Hill on Tuesday at Mars Hill. Our netters defeated the Lions in an earlier match here at Western, 5-4, but ran into trouble on Mars Hill's home court. After being ahead 3-2 mid-way through the match, Western failed to score in any of the remaining matches. Inability to come through in the clutch again proved to be Wes tern's downfall. The defeat spoiled the netters three game winning streak and put them one down in the lost column. Kuszyk continued to lead Western, but his efforts were not enough to give the Cats their fifth victory of the season. With the team of Kuszyk and Bolick in the doubles, Western has yet to lose a doubles match. Another note on Western's hopes of gaining victory in doubles play came with the combination of Loftin and Lanier. They won their match decisively in the Mars Hill match which should give Western an added punch in their remaining matches. Tomorrow at 2 p.m. Western plays a tough Wofford team in still another non-conference game. Next week finds Western getting back into conference play and a chance to better their 1-2 conference record. *p^eieieieiie>i»i;**X'^4»li»¥yey»¥yr^^Vn NEW FOR SUMMER JANICE CLARIE, A Freshman Cheerleader, From High Point, N.
