make the fast league and yet they sense a chance to
work into the picture of this night softball.
Softball was organized in the beginning for busi
nessmen who lacked means of exercise. It was a game for
middle-aged men who found a sporting game tough to
break into for mere exercise. However, softball has
drifted far from the original idea. Young boys have
moved in and the game is as fast a big league baseball
right here in our own home town.
* It takes the fast league to draw the crowd to
games. They, the youngsters, are the ones who made
night softball possible in Covington. In order to
maintain lights an admission charge must be made
and the public must see a good, fast game if it pays.
And this is as it should be. Covington people are en
titled to the best type of softball for their money.
• But there is another side to the picture. The middle
aged man still wants his recreation and Tuesday
those fellows were laboring for a cause. It is up to Cov
ington softball fans not to let it become a lost cause.
Organizing a four-team league of middle-aged
men isn’t easy.- So it seems that it might be well to
throw the “slow” league open, too. Only have a rule
compelling each team to have in their line-up at least
four players of a certain age. In this way a right
good league could be had and at the same time serve
the purpose.
The “slow” league teams should be scheduled to play
last every night so as to give the public who don’t wish to
see glow softball a chance to see the fast game and then
vamoose. This way the slow league could enjoy their
games and at the same time not interfere in any way with
the type of softball the public really wants to see.
Covington Mill
Cubs Will Play
Rutledpe Here
Game Scheduled at Trojan
Park at 3:30; Catcher
Needed
BY DUD CHILDERS
The Covington Mill ssecond nine
will play the CCC boys from Rut
ledge Saturday afternoon at the
Trojan Park. The Cubs lost to
Rutledge Saturday by a high score
but promise to redeem themselves
Saturday. The Covington Cubs
have lost the last three games
which they played away from
home. After a few days practice
together they show a promise of
playing better ball.
The second team showed what
they could do in the first game
they played by beating Milstead
by a score of 2 to 1 but they met
disaster when they went to Mil
stead the next Saurday by getting
beat 17 to 2. On Sunday after
playing Milstead they journeyed to
Stewart and were beaten by the
score of 12 to 6 after having
a good game of ball Almost every
second nine player got a hit in
the game with Stewart. Last Sat
j urday they went to Rutledge and
were beaten by the sore of 16 to
The •o
team is needing a good
catcher now since Alex Worsham
has gone back to the Coast Guard.
James Smith will be a good one if
he can be gotten away from the
first team. We need two or three
reliable pitchers and we could
have some good ball games. We
also need some good moral sup
port from the fans. A team,
no matter how good it is, can play
better if it ha s the support of the
fans.
The Cubs are thinking about
getting new uniforms and if they
do they will become as flashy as
the Covington Mills Trojans. The
Cubs promise to play a good game
of ball Saturday and wish that
everyone would come and see
them play. Olin Rowe will pitch if
Manager Evans can be persuaded
to let us have him. And there is
talk of James Smith catching. If
this can be arranged come out and
see us work on the Civil Conser
vation Corps of Rutledge.
