THE MOUNTAINEER'S SPORT PAGE Pae 8 Edited by Marion T. Bridges THURSDAY, APRIL n n mm im&u AS 7 r DDQOV 0 Excellent Team Is Outlook As 20 Men Try Out Enka Will Be Hazelwood's Opponents for Opening Game at 3:30 Here Saturday The 1941 baseball season officially opens here Saturday afternoon at 8:3U wnen tne nazeiwoa Aianuiac turers meet the Rayon makers from Enka on the diamond at the High school in the first game of the Industrial loop, Hazelwood was scheduled to go to Enka for the opening game, but due to the condition of the Enka diamond due to the floods of last fall, the field is not suitable for play and tne game was switched here. The prospects for the Manufac turers for the coming season is the brightest in several years, as the team is made up of younger blood and of players that are interested in the game as has been shown the past week when around 20 pros pects have been practicing hard and regular. . There are of course a number of players that saw service last sea son, but there are also a number of newcomers in the squad that will be handy to fall back on. In the past several seasons, the Manufacturers have been at a dis advantage in the number of re serves that were available, this season that handicap will be elimi nated and with almost three teams practicing hard the reserve prob lem should be solved. The team will don new uniforms this season, which will add to the color of the game. Last season j there was a "duke's mixture" of uniforms with no two being alike. The pitching staff for the season seems to be well cared for in the form of the olf standby, "Lefty" Bob Putman, Douglas Holsenback, J. C. Burrell, Gene Wyatt and Ed Mangus, with the possibility that one or two more will be added at J:';:; a later data. The other end of the battery will be filled by Gordon Wyatt or Stan ley Henry. This position behind the bat was hit bad when the Nat ional Guards were called to camp. but with these two behind the slate. the situation should be well in hand. Another probable catcher will be Sammy Lane, who has seen two years of catching in Softball and should be an asset to the baseball nine.' ' The Drobable starting lineun for the opening game Saturday, other than the batteries which assistant manager, Jerry Rogers, was still turning over in his head, will be Tom Campbell covering the first base sack, Glenn 'Stumpy" Wyatt on second, Joe Scruggs at the hot spot. Clyde "Dutch" Fisher at third. Carroll Truett in left field, Bud Bla lock in center and Furman Wyatt or Mont Wright in right field. Both manager Georsre Bishoff and assistant manaeer Jerrv Rop ers are well pleased with the way the team is shaping up, but were inclined to keep most of their opinions to themselves until after the first game. This season will find some of the most competent umpires on the new. me umpires had to be placed before the leaarue officials for approval and the onea that will officiate on the local diamond will De James '"Bug" Kuvkendall Bill Chambers, Jr., and Sam Knight all oi whom were approved by the league, A small admission fee will be Charged for the games to heln with the upkeep of the team and the diamond. The Manufacturers will be seen at home for the first three games of the season, giving local fans a chance to see just what the pros pects will be for the season. 2-League Plan Will Be Used; Boyd Re-elected Directors Vote to Continue As Sponsor of Athletic Program, With Weatherby As Head A four-leaf clover for luck.
