Sparta Academy’s huge gymnasium-auditorium is being built
at a rapid rate. Headmaster Richard Brown states that the new facility will
allow the school to provide a complete physical education program for all
students and also permit school assemblies. It will also be home for the Sparta
Warriors basketball team which has played at Fort Dave Lewis National Guard Armory
the past two seasons.
Sparta Warriors open practice Monday morning: The Sparta
Academy Warriors, rated a Class C club according to enrollment, will open
practice Monday morning at 6 a.m., their sights set on the Class B championship
of the Alabama Private School Association.
Headmaster and head coach Richard Brown said the Warriors
would practice at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. in shorts. They will pull out the pads for
their first contact work on Aug. 12.
Although rated Class C, Sparta is going to try for the
Class B championship as it was impossible to schedule enough Class C teams.
Also, many of the Warriors’ natural rivals are Class A and Class B schools.
With a number of returning starters and lettermen, the
Warriors hope to improve on last year’s most successful season that saw them
win eight and lose two and then wallop Abbeville in the Academy Bowl to make it
9-2 for the year.
The walls go up at the Evergreen Baptist Church’s gym and
recreational building. The building is designed to provide recreation for the
church family, especially youth.

Greenies Cop Title In Amateur
Loop: The Evergreen Greenies clinched the Conecuh County Amateur League pennant
by walloping Pine Orchard, 16-4, here Sunday.
It was the Greenies 13th
victory in 14 starts. A suspended game earlier this year with Pine Orchard is
yet to be played.
Leon Stinson, making his
first appearance on the mound, pitched a neat seven-hitter for the win.
His teammates banged out a
total of 18 hits, including a home run by Jeff Moorer.
The Greenies will conclude
their schedule with a two-game series with Paul before they play host to them
here Sunday.
All-Star game here, Aug. 23.
George Gaston with a 10-0 record is expected to pitch against Paul.
Jr. leagues will stage star
tilts Saturday: Byron Warren, president of the Evergreen Junior Baseball
League, announces the 1959 All-Star game will be played Saturday night at the
Jr. League Park, game time will be eight o’clock.
Warren states that he cannot
give the names of the players for the American League at this time. A
double-header tonight will have a bearing on the standing of the teams. All
stars are chosen from the second, third and fourth place teams.
The names of the players and
the teams from which they were chosen in the National League are: Red Sox,
Crosby, Harper, Hansen; Giants, Baggett, J. Ellis, B. Thornley, Mosley;
Yankees, Dees and Salter.
PELICANS vs. ORIOLES: The
Pelicans edged the Orioles, 5-3, Monday. Eddie Messer and Harold Wright, Oriole
whirlers, gave up no hits but walked many. Knud Nielsen twirled for the Pels.
Wayne Caylor and Tommy Hartley were head stickmen for the Orioles.
CHICKS vs. ORIOLES:
Ziss-Boom-Bah! A cheering section? Not exactly – a couple of Orioles fans
cheering their team to victory over the Chicks, 6-2, Tuesday night. Jack White gave
up one hit to Donnie Pittman, Bobby Sasser and Gary Faulkner twirled for the
future Dodgers. Tommy Hartley and Wayne Caylor collected the two Orioles
bingles.
YANKEES vs. RED SOX: The
Yankees almost wore out home plate Tuesday night. They crossed it 17 times. The
Red Sox contributed little to the dish’s depreciation. They tallied only once.
Scott Cook notched the win on the hill. Vernon Crosby and Don Hansen were
belted for nine Yank base blows. Robert Rigsby and Claude Aaron was
three-for-four and Scott Cook was one-for-two for the victors. Claude Johnson’s
triple was the Red Sox’s only blow.
GIANTS v. YANKEES: The
Yankees captured a 14-3 win over the Giants Monday night. Terry Salter and
Rusty Price, an Oriole, were the victors’ twirlers. Steve Baggett went all the
way on the hill for the Giants. Robert Rigsby was three-for-four and Claude
Aaron and Mike Moorer were one-for-two for the Yanks. Jimmy Ellis and Eddie Moseley
each had a double for the losers.
HAWKS v. ORIOLES: The Orioles
clobbered the Hawks, 23-5, Thursday night. Jack White was the Oriole flinger.
Jack Driver, Larry Wright, Tommy Chapman and Marvin Salter were the Hawk
wingers. Wayne Caylor had a single for the Orioles. Wright had a triple and
Jimmy Riley was one-for-two for the losers.
YANKEES v. DODGERS: The
Yankees were on the verge of their greatest victory Thursday night only to
suffer their bitterest defeat. The Dodgers downed their fighting foes, 5-1, but
it took them four innings to break a 1-1 tie. Ronnie Jackson notched the win on
the rubber as he whiffed 15 battled Yankees batsmen. Bubba Faulkner finished
the game on the mound. Robert Rigsby and Terry Salter faced the bats of the
distressing Dodgers. Wayne Tolbert and Ed Briggs were two-for-three and Faulkner
was one-for-one for the winners of 46 straight games. Mitchell Kilpatrick’s
single and Ronnie Hayes’ double were the only two Yank bingles.
