Softball Leads North Carolina During the depression Softball paid North Carolina a visit and decided to stay. Today, softball probably outranks golf and all other sports in the number of par ticipants. Within a month, some 15,000 Tar Heels will begin play in organized leagues, competing for the State championships. Just about an equal number will play the game without league affilia tion.. The sport came into prominence during the depression, when times were so hard that plenty of folks couldn't spare four-bits for the green fee at their golf club. It was played alike by bankers and bakers, by shop gals and debu tantes. All you needed; to start a game of softball was a bat, a ball,' and some fun seeking men who don't mind a busted finger or bean ed bean. : Organized softball made its de but in North Carolina in 1934, un der Wade Ison, then sports editor of the Charlotte News. The first tournament was held in Baden in 1935. For four years, the west-1 em part of the state ruled the roost, with State titles going to Badin, Charlotte, Asheville and Enka. Then the tide turned and Roanoke Rapids copped two con secutive titles. To get an idea of just how firm a hold softball had on North Caro lina, just look at these figures: There will be 1,200 teams boy's teams and girls' teams and men's teams in the state this summer. That means 15,000 participants. Thirty per cent of the teams will play in lighted ball parks Softball Schedule Monday, May 19 Lions vs. Unagusta, Clyde vs. Tannery.
