Question Of A Softball
League To Be Decided
Upon Friday Night At B
By Marion T. Bridges.
Are we to have softball this
year?
There has been quite a bit of
discussion the past few days as
to whether or not there would be
a softball league this year. If it
were left up to us, we would say
yes. ' ,
The secretary-treasurer, Paul
Davis, has called a meeting of the
teams that were in the league last
season to have a representative
at his office on Main street at eight
o'clock Friday night of this week.
Mr. Davis also requested that any
new teams mat were anucipai.-
ine ioining the league this year to
have a representative there also.
Elementary Basketball Tourna
ment The elementary basketball tourn
ament js scheduled to start next
Tuesday afternoon at 2:00.
Those schools which are to be
represented are: Rock Hill, Central
Elementary and East Waynesville,
The opening tilt will be between
Rock Hill boys vs. Central Ele
mentary boys and Hazelwood boys
vs. East Waynesville boys.
Wednesday afternoon at 2:00
the girls will start their elemen
tary tournament with an opening
tilt between Junaluska girls vs.
Maggie girls, and Hazelwood girls
vs. IBast Waynesville girls.
THE WORD IS EMPTY
The word offense is no better
than the word defense unless it
means capacity for action. Anne
O'Hara McCormick in New York
Times.
We can recall three years ago
just about this , time when the
league was being formed, how
all were in doubt as to whether
or not it would go over. There
were numerous meetings of the
managers of the prospective teams
and also the officials, working out
the details as to how the new
sport would be financed and how
the lights would be purchased.
Now another problem arises
three years after the beginning
of softball in Waynesville and this
community. How many - teams
can place ten men on the field and
have any reserves leitT
This war we are having not
only affects us in our economic
lives, it also affects us in our re
creation. We know a large num
ber of the players of the differ
ent teams last year are now in
uniform of Uncle Sam and they
will be greatly missed, but we
believe that a sufficient number
are still here to continue the game
if no other way on a limited scale.
There are plenty of middle-aged
men that would like to get the
kinks out of their joints once
again, and we believe they can be
used to a good advantage in xorm
ing the league for the coming
season.
Asheville Ball
Club Has Only
One Hold-Over
Prospects For Good Season
Looms For Tourists, Who
Are Now Practicing Hard.
(Special to The Mountaineer).
With a club almost completely
made over from the one which fin
ished out of the money in the
Piedmont League race last year,
the Asheville Tourists are in train
ing now at Columbus, preparing for
the opening game of the 1942
campaign, with high hopes of be
ing in the flag chase from the
very start of the season.
When the Tourists trot out on
the diamond of McCormick Field,
Thursday afternoon, April 23, to
meet the Charlotte Hornets in the
season inaugural, the only player
from last year's squad who will
be in the starting lineup will be
Bill Ramsey, the sensational young
outfielder who batted .582 for the
Tourists the two weeks he was
with them at the close of the 1941
campaign.
Otherwise, the club will be com
pletely made over, from Manager
Bill Delancey, to bat boy. De
lancey, former St. Louis Cardinal
catching here, is making his debut
as a pilot in the Piedmont League
and he has a promising array of
young talent, including Dick iCon-
nell, first baseman; George Gen-
ovese, short stop; Hal Olt, third
baseman: Joe King, outfielder; and
Joe Davis, Don Bakkelund, Paul
Wargo and Merle Muhl, pitchers.
Before April 23, the Tourists
will land an experienced catcher, a
second baseman, at least one more
outfielder and a couple pi pitcners.
Then they expect to be ready for
all comers in the Piedmont cir
cuit. -

" Well, sir, you know last Sunday I -was out ridine Li
and happened to see a nice place on Catalooche that 1 t w)
might have some good fish in it, so I stopped and eotvJ
and started to fish . . . Do you know that I had no so

Well, brother, that fish of mine weighed exactly ten poun J
'My gracious, what a fish! You know I like to fish just
about like that, too, and I remember one time whenl
was out on Jonathan Creek I was fishing and all of t
sudden felt something grab my hook! I gave it a great

We also heard (we're not telling on them pjjher) aboc
a couple of our local fishermen catching a string of 12

all right!

RUPTURE
Shield Expert Here Again
E. J. ME1NHARDI, widely
known Expert of Chicago, will per
sonally be in Asheville, N. C, at
the George Vanderbilt Hotel, Mon
dav. April 20th, from 10 A. M. to
5 P. M. only.
MR. MEINHARDI says: The
Meinhardi Shield is a tremendous
improvement well known for pro
ducing immediate results. It pre
vents the Rupture from protruding
in 10 days on the average regard
less of size or location of Rupture
and no matter how hard you work
or strain. It has no leg straps.
(No Surgery, or Injection Treat
ments used.) Mr. Meinhardi has
been coming here for 15 years. He
has thousands of satisfied custom
ers. .
Caution: If neglected Rupture
may cause ' weakness, backache,
constipation, nervousness, stomach
pains, etc., or sudden death from
strangulation.
Men having large Ruptures
which have returned after Surgical
Operations or Injections Treat
ments are also invited. When all
others fail see MEINHARDI. He
will be pleased to demonstrate to
you privately without charge.
(Only men invited.) White only.
Thinking perhaps that beginners would welcome a few
tips about fishing we asked Mr. Plott to tell us a few things
that might come in handy for a beginner .
The ideal time to fish is early in the morning and
late in the afternoon . . . the first two hours of the morn
ing and the last two before sundown is the best time.
Mr. Plott says that the best places to fish are on Cata
looche and Big Creek , i . you are not allowed to use any
thing but artificial bait and single hooks on Government
land.
As for equipment Mr. Plott says that it's all ac
cording to the individual's nature ... just a plain cane
pole with a piece of line and a wire hook and a large
juicy red worm has often proved to be the best equip
ment anyone could possible have . . . you can ask any
young fisherman about the best way to go about this!!
I was talking to Mr. Parkman the other day (he fishes
occasionally, too) about fishy stories being the biggest part
of the fun a fisherman has and like a real fisherman he
promptly thought of one . . . Stop me if you've heard this
before . . .
"There were two salesmen talking about how well
they liked to fish and how good they were. One sales
man said to the other, Ton know I like to fish so well
that I carry my pole along with me in the car all the
time . . . and when I come to a nice quiet pool with plenty
