PAGE SIXTEEN THE ECHO AprilJ Sports Page By JACK AIJE3XANDER SPORTS CHATTER Baseball and softball fans can get set for an array of entertain ment during the coming season. Your writer doubts seriously if there is another community of this size that will offer such a variety of sports. Plans now in clude sponsorship of three sepa rate leagues, two in baseball and one in softball. At Ecusta on each Wednesday afternoon, there will be a double- header between four strong Inter- Departmental teams. On Saturday afternoons, the Ecusta baseball team will clash with outstanding semi-pro teams of Western North Carolina. Softball fans have two nights to choose for their pleas ure when teams from Transylvania county and Ecusta will square off against each other in the Transyl vania county softball league. The schedule calls for games on each Tuesday and Friday night. From this corner it looks as though Ecusta has gone “all out' for sports and recreation during the coming months. Aside from baseball and softball entertain ment, Camp Sapphire will offer loads of fun in swimming, tennis, shuffleboard, picnicking, Bingo parties, square dances and many other attractions. Ecusta’s motto could easily be, “Something for everyone." Ecustans To Enter National Bowling Tourney In N. Y. The Ecusta bowling team grabbed three wins last Tuesday night to increase their setfond place leadership in the Western North Carolina bowling league. Sec ond place honors can be clinched in next week’s matches provided Ecusta comes through with two wins out of their last three games.

Team match will be bowled on May 8 against the Allen Transfer team, of Asheville. On May 9, both doubles and singles events will take place.

Control Follows A JUST REWARD A colonel, passing near the sta bles, noticed several privates, each of whom was holding a lump of sugar. Making mental note of the fact that these men must have a great love for animals, he said, “I suppose you will give the sugar to the pet of the regiment.” “Not on your life,” replied one recruit. “The sugar goes to the one that kicked the sergeant.” NO FLIES ON THAT TRUCK Two men were flying west. When the plane landed at Cleve land, a little red truck sped to i!s side to refuel it. The plane land ed again at St. Louis, and again little red truck rushed to its side. Looking at his watch, one of the travelers remarked that the plane was making wonderful time. Thoughtful for a minute, his companion replied, "And do you know, that little red truck isn’t do ing so badly, either." Be proud of your hpu^j^eepjog —since you 41d it. The opening game of depart mental baseball will get under way next Wednesday at 4 p. m. The opener pits Champagne against the Pulp Mill, and the Ma chine Room-Control game will fol low shortly thereafter. Competition this season is at such a new high that many fans are wondering whether or not the Machine Room will be the “King Bee” of the league, as in past summers. Walter Straus and his Champagne crowd are among the doubting Thomases, along with Ed Vassey, Bill Jordan and Doyle Wells, of the Control-Maintenance team. Ralph Morris’ Pulp Mill boys are not to be counted out of the picture, since his squad includes such players as Marshall Loftis, Fritz Merrell, Otto Whitesides, “Whitey” Russell, C. B. Allison and “Red” Cagle. 1946 SCHEDULE May 1st Champagne vs. Pulp ](lill. Machine Room vs. ControL May 8th Machine Room vs. Pulp Mill. Control vs. Champagne. May 15th Champagne vs. Machine Room.
