TOTAL OF 10 TEAMS NOW PLAYING IN INTER-MILL SOFTBALL GAMES
The men in several Fieldcrest plants are finding fun and
relaxation in the recently inaugurated inter-mill softball
games. The unofficial league grew out of the interest and
efforts of Cyril Hudgins, Rayon Mill foreman, and Harry
Hudgins, canteen man at the Leaksville plants. The brothers
formed softball teams at their respective locations and chal
lenged one another.
Since that time games have been played several nights
a week at the newly lighted softball field at Leaksville Y. M.
C. A. and at Spray Recreation Park.
A total of 10 teams are participating. The Karastan has
three: two from the Weave Room and one from the Shipping
and Designing. The Bedspread has three: one from the first
shift, one from the second shift and a team from the Spinning
Department. The Rayon has two teams. The Finishing Mill
and Spray Cotton Mills have plant teams. Team rankings
change so rapidly that it was not practical to publish up-to-
date standings.

ball activities. Upper right, reading from the left, Cyril Hudg
