Other clubs who have been con

Girl Softballers
Open With Canton
At Sapphire Sunday
Our girls’ softball team will meet
Canton Sunday at 2:30 o’clock at
Camp Sapphite in the opening
game of the season.
The girls have been practicing
for the past three weeks and
should make a creditable showing
in their first start of the year. The
remainder of the games this sea
son will probably be played on
Wednesday nights as a preliminary
to the Ecusta Smoky Mountain
include the Biltmore Forest Coun
try Club and the Greenville Coun
try club.
Feeling that the worst is behind
them, our baseballers are hoping
that Saturday’s game here with
Martel at 3:30 p. m. will be a def
inite turning point in the season.
The men had a tough time of it
in W.N.C. League competition this
past month, winning only one of
five starts. The most recent loss
was to Enka last Saturday, 7-6. The
victors raced in two in the ninth
to triumph. Jack Alexander led the
stickwork with three” hits.
Shortstop David Sams will join
the team next Saturday for . the
Green River game and Gus Allen,
peppery young catcher, gave a
creditable showing in his first game
last Saturday.
In the opening game, Sayles
licked us by 21-11 as Ecusta er-
rored too often. Improvement was
noted in the 7-4 loss to Hazelwood
on May 3.
The first win came at Champion,
11-8, as the men drilled out 16
hits. A heart-breaking loss to Bea
con came May 17, 9-8 as a ninth
inning rally fell short.
Bowlers Capture
WNC Championship

our bowlers captured championship
