a blue ribbon year for sports in Johnson City during 1939 Record crowds were registered in each sport Johnson Citians saw an improved baseball team during the summer months and an improved Hilltopper gridiron machine last fall and as a result Keystone park and Roosevelt stadium were strained at the seams to accommodate throngs on more than one or two occasions The Cardinals a colorful hustling aggregation piloted by Ollie Vanek of St Louis le dthe Appalachian league through most of the season but surrendered the pennant by a scant two-game margin to Elizabethton and finished in third place one game behind Kingsport Almost 3000 Turn Out For Crucial Twin Bill Almost 3000 saw one Johnson City-Elizabethton twin bill fixing a record crowd for one day in Johnson City A seasonal record also was established when approximately 35000 fans turned out during the entire 1939 season in Johnson City The crowd of 5500 which saw the Hilltoppers and Bristol Tenn Vikings battle on the gridiron gave

the Hilltoppers went against little Mountain City with their scoreless record still shining A Johnson City fumble near their own goal line followed by a fourth down penalty against the then a Mountain City pass accounted for the only touchdown scored against the Farmermen all season They scored whitewash victories over Appalachia 14-0: Ehzabeth-ton 7-0 Rogersville 45-0 and Erwin 12-0 finishing the
