Profiles In Sports
By " R..T Sckuylar
If you are feeling bad, or
perhaps down in cb* dumps,
if the wife Is mad at you.
maybe you had a bad day at
the office or on the jab, or
perhaps just down and out and
would 111* to snap out o it,
let me make a suggestion.
Now this won't cure all your
troubles, but we think that
perhaps it might make you for*
get about them for a little
while: Co out to the ball park
some night when the local soft
ball teams are playing. If you
don't come away feeling justs
little better, then something is
wrong and you'd better see
your doctor.
These fellows don't claim
to be pros, but they all play
hard and give it everything
they have, and what else can
you do after you have done
your best???
You'll see some fat and
some skinny players, some
short and and some tall. ..
Weather conditions don't seem
to matter, that is if it doesn't
rain while they are playing.
They don't mind playing in
the rain, but the rain is hard
on the light bulbs. If it rains
on 14) until time to play, loads
of sawdust are hauled in and
spread around to soak up the
water.
Anything, and just about
everything happens at some of
these games. There was the
night they were using sand
bags for bases and they were
pretty dirty. A dirty white,
small dog was resting just
about three yards off from
first base. This player comes
to bat and swats a long one
to right field and in going to
first base watches the ball and
takes his eye off first base.
The right fielder misses the
ball and the runner almost
stepped on the dog for first
base. He recovered in time
to keep from stepping on the
dog, and possibly prevented
himself from getting "bit for
a hit".
We are not going to mention
any names because I certainly
don't want to embarrass any
one, just more or less try to
let you know what you are
missing.
Tou might have been there
the night that one team suyed
in bat so long that one person
received credit for making all
three outs in one inning. All
the teams are pretty well
matched, with the exception of
the boys from Tomotla.andas
of now no team has come close
to beating them. They are
leading the league.
The Jaycees have lost all
their games with the excep
tion of one and that was the
last game they played last
week. They managed to win
this one while their star
player was in the hospital.
The game was called after
the completion of three inn
ings with the Jaycees leading
28-2L They would have played
the regulation seven inning
game but some of the fellows
said they had to go on account
of it was just about milking
time. I understand this game
is to be concluded first chance
they get to play together again.
All the teams except the
undefeated Tomotla team have
been beaten anywhere from
two games to all of them.
Games are played on Mon
day and Thursday night, un
less it happens to be raining
at game time and the lumber
mills in this area have run
out of sawdust and shavings.
This past Monday night was
*n unusual mgnt . . . For the
first time the field ?u com
pletely dry end some at the
fellows bed quite s timekeep
ing their footing. Someone
suggested wetting down the
field so that the conditions
would be normal, but they
never got around to this.
We recommend a night at
the ball park when some of
these teems are playing as a
sure cure for the blues.
Last week we said that we
would not write about racing
this week, but I can't pass 19
the opportunity to mention
something about the race held
at Bristol this past Sunday.
I would like to repeat a quote
made by Richard Petty over
the years and Sunday became
a reality. Richard has often
said, and we quote, "It's not
where you start in a race,
but where you finish that
pays off."
If you listened to the race,
you'll have something to
remember for * long time.
1 can't recall when a fellow
has ever won a race and only
led but one lap. Freddy Lor en
son did just that Sunday.
Richard Petty, after leading
the race for approximately 4fi0
laps out of GOO came in second
after blowing his engine on the
497th, coasting two more for
498th and 499th, but couldn't
quite make it the five hund
redth.
Car No. 28, driven by Fred
Lorenson, Ned Jarrett and
again by Fred Lorenson, won
this race by leading It the last
lap. This just goes to show you
that you can lead every lap
but one, and still loose.
It was a heartbreak er for
Richard and he really took it
better than he would have been
expected to, but he realizes
and knows and made this re
mark, "That's racing."
These drivers and cars will
be at Asheville-Weaverville
Speedway Sunday, August 9,
for another gruelling 500 lap,
250 mile race on the world's
fastest half-mile paved track.
It will be a good race and
you can be assured of seeing
some good competition if you
are there. That's Sunday, Au
gust 9, at the Asheville-Wea
verville Track.
