fiftE SPORTS PAGE OP THE w A7wS57ii3uS ITim'SmiSES 5DAy, MAg 6, 1947 , ECUSTA EMJLS 7 - 4 TO HAZELWOO HAZELWOOD'S ball club turned out for Saturday's; game with their new uniforms solid white with red caps, s6x and lettering. As neat as the brand of ball they play . . . j W've wondered what would be a good nickname for the team. Some years back they were known as the Manufacturers. That seems pretty logical, for most of the players work in one of the industries in their home nf ih ir.H.,cti,l lam, to fit in with baseball conversation. forms will give an idea for an gestions? THE UMPIRE, "Bugs" Kuykendall, had some unhap py moments during Saturday's game. Both team man agers went into "conferences" with him on some of the plays, such as the fifth inning mixup when Pitts was batted to third base by Yount, the toss was missed at third and he scored on interference from someone on the sideline who touched the ball while apparently being played out at home . . . Looking at the game after it's all over makes it hard to see why Ecusta swapped pitchers, with Clint Morris recording nine strikeouts and allowing five hits to keep the game on an even keel the first six innings. FISHERMAN'S LUCK is not always according to the usual definition. Hugh Rogers tells this one for the truth. While at Rocky Broad creek, near Chimney Rock, Hugh walked by a shallow pool just off the edges of the stream left there from some recent high waters. By a large rock he saw the tail of a fish, stranded in the shallow pool. He laid down his pole, waded in and caught the trout with his hands, a 23-inch rainbow. About that time his brother, Max, came by, asked where he'd got the big fellow, Hugh pointed to the pool and they saw another one in it. After another short wrestling match, so he related, up he came with another rain bow, this one 25 inches long. You can believe this tale or not since the two big trout (??) were baked and put away where many of their brethren had gone before. JET PILOT, as you probably know,, took a photo finish victory over the favored Phalanx in the Kentucky Derby, with Faultless third. Mrs. Elizabeth Arden Gra ham's fleet nag earned a purse of $92,160 before the rec ord crowd of 120,000, and this week will enter the second leg of - turfdom's triple crown for threeyear-olds, the Pfeakness stakes at Pimlico (Baltimore). PROSPECTS for a softball appear bright, with the chance Wednesday nights. If adopted afternoon's session of the executive committee, it looks like the nights of play this summer will be Monday, Tuesday, i Wednesday and Friday, leaving Thursday vacant for rained ! out games.

After Man 1 ager Jack Alexander switched ! Morris to first and put Willkie on the mound, however, the locals hammered out safeties that turned ! the tide in their favor. Bud Blalock took his second ' pitching win of the year, allowing only seven hits to Ecusta. t Misenhimer batted to first, ad i vanced on Clayton's single, and 1 scored on a wild pitch to put Ecus ; ta in the lead the first frame.

Hazelwood came back their turn at the plate. With Pitts getting a free trip to first, Henry, Yount and Smith produced singles for as many runs and a tied score. In the seventh Yount banged out his triple, Smith, Dudley and iTroutman singled to bring the de cisive runs home. Despite the cool weather and wet fielf, both teams played heads up ball throughout.

Girls' Sofiball IS Found Tough Grind AP' Newsfentures SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Girls' softball has gone he-man and it's a tough grind but Alva Jo Fischer, one oi an Antonio's pitching con- triDutions to the sport, says she likes it and plans to stay with it for a while "at least until the right man comes along." The comely ex - Brackenrldge High School ' student, home from two seasons in the All-America Oirls Baseball League, is looking forward to Havana for the circuit's 1947 spring training and is trying to interest several local girls in taking the professional leap. But she warns in advance that the game will be different from that played in San Antonio and that the life, although "lots of fUn," won't be easy. Called Girls' Baseball "It is called girls' baseball," she explains, "and it's quite different irom sotiDau as pteyed here. The league uses an especially made 11-inch ball which is smaller 'and harder than what I played with before, and just two inches larger than a man's baseball. "We use a regulation baseball bat 'and the site of the infield is the same as that for men's soft ball. A player can steal a base at any time, instead of waiting for the pitch to be delivered in fact, the league plays by baseball rules instead of those for softball. And hit? Some of the girls can knock the ball a mile. NcMhit games in our league are as ! rare as in pro fessional baseball." Miss FKcher,- 20,' began; playing Softball 10 'years ago.

Jo doesn't know where she will play next season because a player signs with the league, whose president is Max Carey, former Pittsburgh Pirate star, and is assigned to some club. In that manner an even balance is main tained throughout the circuit, pre venting a runaway.
