MlllllltlliiiiiiiHiDinniiiii,,!
Everyone is showing a g re ,v in
terest in the fan’s All-Star select
ion for the Men’s Softball league.
If you have been attending the
games, you have probably made
up your mind in regard to the
best players. Why not fill in a bal
lot and send it in to the Black
Mountain NEWS?
I would like to explain to mv
readers that the team I published
S? *' ee \ ,s not my idea of the
All-Star team of the league but
just a gag to show what a good
team could be picked from the
players whose names begin with
the letter “M.”
Bouquets to Reid Tull and Char
ley Logan for beginning to break
the batting slump that held them
under its control during the first
half. We have every admiration
for the fellow ho keeps support
ing his team and trying whether
he is building up an impressive
batting everage or not.
Congratuiatons to “Doc” Burn
ett for taking over the lead in
Big Ten. Bill Gilbert still has the
most impressive batting average
in the league but has not been at
bat a sufficient number of time 3
to be the official league batting
champion at this time.
Also congratulations to Packett
of the Mountain Orphanage who is
leading the Women’s League with
a very healthy batting average.
Fans, why not stare making up
your mind about the Women’s All-
Star team. We shall probably want
to select such a team later to play
an exhibition game or two.
Some of the fielding in the
league this year has been little less
than sensational. Two triple plays
have been pulled, one by Friend
ship Chapel and one by the Metho
dists. Each was started by an un
assisted double play. Rudisill and
Kerlee were the “starters” of the
unusual play.
They say champions must have
the ability to win the close ones.
Friendship Chapel has been in
eight contests this year that have
been decided by one run. Three cf
them they have lost, once to the
Methodists, once to Ridgecrest and
once to the All-Stars.
Carroll Stevens is probably one
of the most vicious line drive hit
ters in the league. He is hard on
rival first basemen. When a line
drive spins “Red” Gardner arourd
it has power.
Young Reese of the Orphanage
looks as if he is going to make a
nice softball pitcher.
Scott Burgess, the Ridgecrest
chatterbox, had the last word on
the “behind the screen” crowd when
he lashed out his first Church
League home run.
Overheard at one of the Church
League games as T. Greene trott
ed in from first base, ‘Boys, there
comes a top rack fellow, a real
sport and gentleman.” If I were
a player, I believe I would put
that compliment above a high bat
ting average.
Sympathy is extended to my
friend Gil Hoschar. Maybe bi
focals would help, Gil.
Wouldn’t you like to see Nord
hielm, H. Gray and Turner play
in the same outfield? They all
cover a large slice of territory
out there, “in the dark.”
Welcome home, “Poongy” Mash
burn. Football fans remember those
nice runs you used to get off for
Black Mountain high school some
ten years ago.
And now for the sport’s story of
the week.
“The oafish fighter thrust his
jaw into the face of the reporter
and snarled: ‘You called me a fool
and for that I’m gonna beat the
daylights out of you.’
The reporter looked at him calm
ly, ‘Yeah, I called you a fool and
I reiterate it.’
‘Well,’ muttered the boxer, with
an air of satisfaction, ‘that's dif
ferent, I accept your apology.”
