THURSDAY, Jux 3age J4 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER US"""" , : jr'Nj. TJf jT 1 SPORT HAPPENINGS By HYATT J. D. HYATT HELLO SPORT FANS! Monday night marked the opening of the softball season with tilts between Boosters and Dayton Rubber. High School and the Tannery . . . al though it was threatening rain the attendance was good. Two teams who are new in the league won the first victories of the season over more experienced teams who in the past have been considered tops . . . if there is anything prophetic, in this the rest of the league had better watch their step. Dayton Rubber started the ball rolling by outslugging the Boosters team with the score of 16 to 4 . . . Jim Phillips pitching for Dayton Rubber, held the Boosters boys down to 9 hits while the Dayton team managed i,o get 30. Although we knew the High School boys would not be such a push-over, we did not expect the brand of ball the boys showed the powerful Tannery team . . . sparked by Laffie Scruggs' pitching, the High School kids led the Tannery team all the way through until the last inning when the Tannery team picked up enough "juice" to score the 3 runs of their score ... the High School won the game, 4-3. It may have been because the Tannery didn't expect such a kick from the kids and the boys were smart enough to take advantage of this ... or maybe it just takes a little while for the older boys to warm up , . . anyway the High School crowd is one to be watched by any team who has designs on top honors. FISHES TAKING IT EASY According to Mr. Plott the fishes, the ones that are left won't have to worry as much about being caught in the present and future ... the reason is the same that seems to be wrong with just about everything no gas. On the 30th from West Fork there were only 83 people fishing who caught on the average of three fish each ... on the 31st from Big East Fork there were only 199 people fishing and they caught on the average of three fish to the person. So, until something is found to take the place of gas, the fish can rest in comparative ease of mind. NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH Speaking of fishes, here is "one" that I thought was pretty good: A young man was talking to a friend of his at Massie Hardware Saturday and being a true fisherman told him of an experience he had just had. The young man was fishing in Richland Creek ... he had the good luck to hook a large rainbow trout . . . it looked even larger when he took it out of the water so he excitedly measured the fish . . . well sir, that rain i bow measured exactly 21 '2 inches! Everything would have been just fine if he could have taken it home and displayed it to his friends . . . but darn it, the fish, somehow got back into the water! MARRIAGES James E.

IMPULSIVE FRIEND Chicago When William Arvid son, 62, saw his friend Adolph Muench, 40, fall into the river, he didn't hesitate a minute but jump ed in to rescue him. It was not until after he hit the water that Arvidson remembered that neither he nor Muench could swim, so they both began calling for help. Police rescued them. Symbolizes Food From U. S. i .

Dayt on Rubber Wins From Boosters, High School Tops Tannery In the first games of the season which were played on Monday night at the high school stadium two new. teams made their debut by winnhi their tilts. Dayton Rubber won by a score of 16 to 4 over the once powerful Eoosters Club. Red Mull sparked the Dayton team by' getting 4 runs out of 4 hits, hitting like this, coupled with Jim Phillips' pitching, helped the Dayton team keep an easy lead all the way through. Ed Boone and Oliver Yount led the Boosters in hitting with 1 run for 1 hit. Although the boys play ed a nice game they were not quite a match for the Dayton team. Coming through with a surprise in playing cooperation and sparked by the pitching of Laffie Scruggs, the High School team beat last year's top team, Tannery, by one point. Leading the Tannery easily un til the last of the seventh when the Tannery boys broke loose and scored the 3 points of their score, the High School team won the tilt 4 to 3.
