[ When You Strikeout — Pay Out Is Rule In Church Softball League 0 Eugene Byrd, chairman of the athletic committee of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and president of the Black Mountain Church Softball lea gue, called on the “Old Men” of the league either to get a piece of the ball when at bat or to contribute 5 cents to the fund which is being raised with which to buy the sportsman’s trophy at the end of the sea son. It’s a rule of the league that each batter who strikes out should contribute a nickel to the fund. And there is always a collector on the job, accord ing to Mr. Byrd. If you strike out, pay out—is the rule. But don’t do as one guy did in the opening game between the Hosiery Mill and the Pres byterians. He practically threw his bat at the ball to save a strikeout and a nickel. “We need the money,” opines Byrd.
