I of the team's participation In am speaking of the recent drop the city fast-pitch "softball league. At one " time fast-pitch soft ball was the talk of the town in this area. Now it is hard to maintain enough teams to run a decent league. For example, this season, 1065, the Charles E. Harris Fast Pitch League started with 10 teams. As of now, there are only five clubs operating in the circuit. What is the reason for the drastic downfall of the sport? Can it be lack pt interest of the players or the domination of play by a few teams? Softball is still and will be one of the favorite amusements in this area. Since the slow interest in fast-pitch softball fans have become encouraged to cast their eyes on the slow pitch and the women's leagues. * * • MOVE TO WALLTOWN STARTED DOWNFALL The giant step toward the destruction of the fast-pitch league started three years ago when Edward Boyd, athletic director for the city of Dur ham, announced that the fast pitch league would operate at the Walltown Park, instead of Hillside Park. At this time, teams and players that had been in the league since it organ ized began to complain. The biggest complaint of all the cry babies was that the field in Walltown was too short. Accord ing to rules of the game, the distance from home plate to the fence in left field is to be 200 feet or greater. By measure ments, the fence in Walltown is approximately 215 feet. So after Boyd established mßm^^ ; ' GR PPT^M^—>- FORMER WELTERWEIGHT champion Luis Rodriguez (loft) and Lo* Anpeles Angal pitcher Marcallno Lopaz jokingly trada N. C. C.

Some v of the players "who played in the fast-pitch league for years de cided to join the slow-pitch loop while others made the un wise decision to quit playing softbaH. Most of the players in the fast-pitch league were un able to join the slow-pitch league because of the age rule. The qualifying age for the slow pitch circuit is 28. * » » MORE LIGHTED FIELDS NEEDED, BUT WHAT? At one time, Hillside was the only lighted athletic field in the city for Negroes. The cry by softball players was the need for more lights. But after the City of Durham Recreation Department appropriated mon ey to have other lighted' fields, then this is the appreciation we give them. Now there are three lighted parks with the latest being Lyon Park which had its official dedication last Monday night.
