THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, MAY 17; 1940 PAGE FIVE ? v i Ml i t! ft-' a Discusses League Of Softball Teams Here This Summer Repairs Underway At Graded Plant Teachers Elected Campbell Says Scheme Schools To Open Wed Has Been Used In nesday After Labor Other Towns With Day If Alterations Good Results I Completed Then It has been suggested by Editor Max Campbell of The Perquimans Weekly, that a "Twilight, Softball League," consisting of five or six teams should be organized in Hert ford,' The teams couUPbe sponsored, he says, by different stores and busi ness firms, filling stations, etc. Activities of this sort, Mr. Campbell went on to say, would help to en liven the usually dull summer months. The games, say 1 three a week, could begin at 5:30 in the afternoon through the season and then wind up with a league series. The scheme has been launched in other towns with high degrees of success and Mr. Campbell is of the opinion that the league would find ample support here in Hertford. With six teams a total of 60 players would be required at the very least, ten to the team which leaves no substitutes. The way it works in some of the towns Mr. Campbell is familiar with . . . Little equipment, other than a Softball diamond is needed. Each sponsor would furnish balls and, bats for his team and be accorded the publicity that goes with the activi ties of his team. A schedule is worked out to give each team two or three games a week. The Lions and Rotary Club, for instance, could draw a team from within theirown organizations. Bus iness houses would enlist the aid of outsiders ... at no cost to them selves of course since most Softball enthusiasts are anxious to play the game. If enough interest is shown in the plan, Mr. Campbell says he will be glad to help work out a schedule and other details incidental to for mation of the league. Ballet Zorina At State Next Week Casting Zorina of Ballet fame in the role of the former jewel thief who renounces her career to marry a wealthy young man with whom she falls in love after swindling him, "I Was An Adventuress," which plays at the State Theatre Monday and.
