THE MOUNTAINEER'S PORT PAGE Completely Covering (flLANTn The Local Sports Field ON PORT 5 MARION BRIDGES The softball league is "in the bag." Several team representatives are winding up this month their cam paign for players, and we are glad to see so many sportsmen interested and taking part in this sport. Softball is taking the country by storm, and it is believed that once the games are started in this com munity, they will become as popular with citizens as the players. We will now have some place for the people to spend some of their spare evenings. Heretofore athletic amusements have been scarce, but with softball being played several nights a week, there will be some place to go. Page 14 Edited By Marion T. Bridges THURSDAY. OCTO??) SOFTB ALL L EAGUE FO WED There is also another bright side to the picture, that of keeping some of the younger set, and older too, off the streets, where trouble brews. If some of the things that are going on on the "main drag" of Waynesville can be stopped by taking the participants to a ball game where clean sports manship is demonstrated, the time and effort, as well as the financial end of the venture, will be worthwhile. 12 Teams Sign Up, Others Plan To Join By First W. H. h. Softball League Is Adopted As Official Title Of New Athletic Group Another game was brought to light last week by several sportsmen volley ball. We believe that this game would also make a hit with local sports enthusiasts. And on the other hand is a good exerciser which is good for people that have to stay indoors, in offices and behind counters. This game could be classed as a preliminary conditioner for the soft ball games next spring. If you are interested in a good clean game, and would like to play, get in touch with Mr. Wagenfeld, Ben Colkitt or Ott Ledbetter in Hazel wood, or M. H. Bowles or The Moun taineer in Waynesville. If enough interest can be created a league will be formed. At present Hazel-wood and Waynesville have a team each and play frequently at the high school gym. Anything happening in a ball game, it happened in the Waynesville Brc vard game, here last Friday. It is very seldom that a linesman gets the honor of making a score, but Hancock, right tackle for the Mountaineers, broke through the Brevard line to block a punt which fell behind the goal line, and immediately recovered the ball for a touchdown. Representatives of the proposed softball teams of Hazelwood, Waynes ville and Lake Junaluska, met last Friday night at the offices of the Chamber of Commerce and organized a league. Twelve teams were formed with prospects of four others coming in before the deadline on November 1st. On a motion of Ben Colkitt, rep resenting the team from Royle-Pilk-ington, the league was named "The W. H. L. Softball League. The mo tion was seconded by M. II. Bowles, representing the Rotary Club team. Officers will not be elected until the meeting Tuesday, November 1st, at which time the teams will be form ulated, and the official managers of each team filed with the secretary. It has not been definitely decided what the statf of officers will consist of, whether there will be the regular routine of officers or some special set-up. The reason that the group Friday night selected a name for the league, was in order to give the dinerent representatives who have collected the two-dollar fee, a place to put the money. An account has been set up at the First National Bank under the name of W. H! L. Softball League, and each representative will make the deposit under that name. As soon as the regular secretary or treasurer is named the deposit slips will be turned over to him, who will have the authority to check out the money. Games will not be played until next spring, but the $2 fees have to be paid The local gridderg have only one more game, Christ School this Friday, until they meet the Canton Black Bears on the W. T. H. S. field. The players are all looking forward to this game, as well as about two thous and fans. So far this year. Canton has not lost a game, while the locals dropped their opener to Asheville. Last week was the smallest crowd to attend a football game on the local field. Is it that the Waynesville fans have lost faith in the team or do they think the team is not what it is supposed to be. If you are one of the latter, come out Friday and watch the Mountaineers in action, perhaps you will change your mind. If you are a hunter, you will find some good advice in an article headed "A Hunters Code," elsewhere on this page. If this advice is followed, you will probably live longer and let oth ers live longer. By the time you read this the World Scries will be underway weather permitting. There is no question but what the desperate effort Chicago made to win the league pennant caus ed as much or more excitement than the series itself well, not exactly that much, because the very name World Series makes one's blood tingle. The Cubs are going into the series rated as beaten, but that don't count. The Yankee are too over-confident, and that has lost many a game. This department lacks a lot of knowing all the inside on former Cub manager affairs. But it seems that after Grimm had led the Cubs through 81 games this season that they should have remembered him in a slice of the World Series pay-off, but they voted him out. True, he is no longer connected with the club, but it seems with money as easy as series dough, that for sentimental reasons he should have had a part even if just a bat boy's share. But then. We are told that Sentiment should never play a part in business or professional sports. Maybe not, but to this corner of the page, it seems that it is the only human thing to do. so. co to em Yankees, win the series and give the stingies the small end of the purse.

A Hunter's Code Last Week Results I will never again load my gun when the muzzle is pointing at some one, nor will I stand in front of any person who is holding a gun. I will ' I 11 i X never cock my gun ana pun me trig ger for fun. I will always be careful at what I shoot and I will not shoot at a hard surface from which the bullet can ricochet. I will always carry my gun on safe while hunt ing and never have it loaded except while hunting. I will not shoot a harmless bird and I will never leave any wounded game to suffer. I will always be careful so that-1 will not kill chickens or any other domestic animal. I will always remember that if I damage anyone's property, other hunters will be blamed for the dam ages. I will make reparations to the farmer if I do any damage to his property. I will try not to damage the farmers fences while crossing them. I will ask the owner of the land if I can hunt there before I go on it. I shall be careful where I shoot. I will not talk nor make un necessary noises while hunting with other hunters. I will always comply with the game laws and I will never take over the limit of game. When ever I build camp and have a fire I will never leave the camp until I am sure the fire is out. I will not hunt in game refuges. I will never enter posted lands for the Sake of getting a few shots at game. I will always remember to thank the farmer upon whose land I hunt, arid I will leave some of my bag for his table. I will neyer shoot within range of farm buildings or domestic animals. I will never destroy nests of any beneficial or game bird, but I will see that it is unmolested. I shall never shoot a game bird out of season. now so the lights can be ordered as soon as possible. Interest is running high over the proposed league. Ope team is plan ning to clear the field close to their plant in which they work, and start practicing during their spare time. The teams that are already in ai-e: The Booster Club, Royle-Pilkington, Esso Dealers, (this team changed its name from the Gas House Gang,) Junaluska Tannery, Lions Club, Ro tary Club, C. E. Ray's Sons, Unagus ta Manufacturing, No. 1 and No. 2, Pet! Dairy Products : Co., American Legion, and The Carolina Hill Bil lies. These teahis are almost com pleted, and have promised to have a paid-up list of 15 players by the first of next month. As the teams are lined up now it is expected that games will be played three nights a week, having two games each night. If additional teams enter the league the number of nights a week will increase. The Woodman of the World are seriously considering a team, along with the members of the National Guard. An other prospect that has been feeling out the members of their working force is Hyatt and Company. With the taxi drivers trying to make up another team. I Waynesville 27, Brevard 0.

("Ding")Darling, cartoonist and former chief of the United States Biological Survey, in the current Ro tarian Magazine. With America's wild life population on the downhill skids, he says much must be done to conserve for coming generations resources intended to be the heritage of all. 'We may inflate currency, Tut it 1 won't put back soils on our eroded farms nor bring back our forests," he asserts. "We may accumulate all the gold in the world in our treasury, but it won't put water back on our arti ficial deserts nor restore our food crops, fish, fowl, and gifts of Nature." Americans have poured down the rathole much of that which Nature gave them, writes Conservationist Darling, for rivers once teeming with (jsh are sewers; millions of acres of the richest soil have become ugly, eroding scars; and forests of price less value have been hacked down and burned away. "We have lots of conservationists, but little conservation, and our re sources continue to disappear," he observes. "Eleven million Americans pay an annual license fee to fish or hunt, and there are 36,000 societies, clubs, leagues, and associations whose avowed object is conservation. Arous ed and united in one cause, they have savea ine qucks irom a precarious emergency, and could be equally e' fective in other fields.
