LEON LOSES CLOSE GAME TO CARRABELLE TEAM
Although the Lions lost another baseball game Wednesday, their defeat was
only in runs scored; for they played a good game and showed good spirit in the
contest, which was with the very good Carrabelle team.
Julian Proctor of Leon and Graddy of Carrabelle, engaged in a mound duel
which ended 4 to 3. The Mullets drew first blood
when they eked out a run in the fifth inning on a single, an error and two
infield outs. Another run was tallied by the gulf
coast team in the sixth on a triple by Ferguson and a sacrifice by Bradford.
In the seventh Leon scored three runs to get in the lead
on three singles, a double, an error, and a sacrifice. However, the lead
was short lived as the Mullets came back in their half in the seventh to counter
the winning run. Julian Proctor was the leading hitter of the game, being
the only player to get two hits. An unusually low number
of errors was made, each team making three.
Also, each team collected five hits.

LEON ENDS SEASON BY SPLITTING TWO
Coach Harrison's baseball team concluded its schedule season by dividing a
doubleheader with Donaldsonville in the Georgia town. Julian Proctor
hurled both games for Leon and turn in masterful performances. The Lions
lost the first 2-0, and won the second, 4-3.
Pitching with nearly perfect control Saunders had the Lions eating out of his
palm in the opener, but his successor in the second game could not outdo
Julian's consistantly good mound work.

Although the Lions have five wins and seven losses for their record against high
school competition, the season can hardly be called unsuccessful. With
only three lettermen returned from last year's team to build upon, Coach
Harrison developed a team which gave all competition a good fight. One of
the Lions' notable accomplishments was the splitting of a two game series with
the Monticello high team, which won the state high school championship. In
the first game the Leon boys fell on the offerings of Roberts, all-state
pitcher, for a total of eighteen hits and won the game 16-7. The second
game was lost by a score of 5-9.
