SPORTS ODDS N' ENDS On May 19, Roanoke Rapids will see ushered in a new order: a soft ball league consisting of four teams in the American Softball associa tion will open its schedule here. We don’t know but we guess that F. C. Williams, or another mill or city official will pitch out the first ball . . . just like the big leagues getting underway. All of us soft ball fans hope that the movement to organize softball in the city will be highly successful. The win the Jax got at Elizabeth City last Friday afternoon (4-2) was the twenty-third straight victory for the local boys over the baseball teams of Elizabeth City. Since Coach Hoyle has been coaching here, the coast town has won only a single game from the Jax . . . which is sort of a record. However, we are keeping our fingers crossed. The E. City team comes to Roanoke Rapids Friday for the final game of the year for the locals. That would be as good’ a time as any for the visitors to get that second win. The first win came in 1931. From all accounts, the Elizabeth City team is no slouch this year. With Big Berry pitching and doing I some high powered hitting, the team could go to town on a few breaks. And woe unto the local team that becomes the victim after so many years. Clarence Byrd has had his share in the victories. He has beaten the coast town boys twice each year since he has been pitching for the Jax. He let them down Friday with four hits. I. J. Byrd, big brother of Clar ence’s, is now playing with New Bern in the Coastal plain. He has been hitting in the second position in the batting order. The Bears haven’t shown so much thus far, but the season is young. Every day we hear somebody talk about baseball talent in this city— talent that is going to waste. There are several boys who could be play ing some good ball, if they had the opportunity. To name a few: Mel ton Boyd, a pitcher that might stay in the win column in the Coastal Plain League; Nick Brown, one of the best hitters ever turned out by the high school here; “Legs” New some, fair hitter and good first baseman; Booty Outland, excellent hitter that may someday be hot; and Edward Johnson, who is anoth er natural at the plate. These boys should be a gold mine to somebody who would take them in hand and give them a little ex perience of the right sort. Who is it going to be? Joe Talley broke into the win col umn Sunday, winning his first of the year. We hope there will be a string of like ones throughout the season. i.
