I promised you a good game
last week between Temple and
El Bethel in the Church Lea
gue, and it was Just like World
Series time, with Temple
Baptist winning by a 3-2
score. There were a lot of one
run games last week, with
some scores running up like
a football game.
The fans really turn out for
these church games. Excite
ment seems to run very high
also. I promised you some
statistics; so here they are;
Hitting

From time to time, we will
keep you posted on these stats.
In the Industrial League,
Gastonia Knit has come on
strong after losing to Caro
lina Throwing by beating both
Dicey and Duplex. They, along
with Skidmore’s, have made
the league race quite a bit
more Interesting.
An interesting sldellte is
there are teams who are
stronger on paper than others,
but then, ballgamesaren’twon
on paper. Pre-s«ison favor
ites more than often fall on
their faces, particularly in
softball. I wouldn’t go out on
a limb and pick any one team
to win the title, but I will say
there are eight who could win
it. Look for a lot of upsets In
the Industrial League.
Interesting games this week
are Carolina Throwing vs.
Champion’s; Dicey vs. Cha
mpion’s; Craftspun vs. Skid-

I haven’t seen any fire-ball
ing pitchers In the league yet,
but there sure are a lot of guys
striking out. I think some
people are getting fooled at
the plate.

in the Industrial League. Here
are a few;
Sonny Jackson Mouth
