Although the teams showed need of additional practice and errors were plentiful, the games did provide the numerous spectators with good Softball. The first game was a contested affair between hotly 4 the squad and the Sahara Stormers. The capitalized on some costly Sahara errors in the fourth inning to tuck the game away 7 to 4. The game was highlighted by the booming bats of Vance, Brown, and Thome and the fast pitching of Foss for the 4 gang. Benton played the best all around game for the Sahara crew, scoring two of their four runs. The second game of the evening was a g affair, the Mustangs winding up on the long end of an 11 to 10 score against the Jaycee team from North Davis county. Egan, one of the most promising young pitchers in the state, couldn't find his control and walked four runs across the plate before being relieved by Wayne Jessop, oldster of the Layton-Hi- ll Field Intramural league.

However, the season for peak consumption of this fuel in agricultural and industrial activities is approaching, which rules out the possibilty of further relaxng individual gasoline issuance. Gasoline rationing must be continued to protect our dwindling supply of automotive vehicles.0 There is an indication that cars may be approved for manufacture this year, but these will be quickly absorbed by various cities to replace worn out taxicabs and by the postoffice department for replacement of cars to carry the mail.

All told, there were five games scheduled to take place, but the 1030th air service squadron seemed to have a little difficulty in getting in from their bivouac area to play their game and therefore forfeited to the 1935th SCU. In the game between squadron H of the 4135th AAF base unit and the medics, squadron H really came through with the calibre of ball that they have been held capable of from the start. Behind the calm pitching of Ber-ni- e g of McGee and the his teammates, they really poured it on the medics to the tune of 13 to 1. The medics have a fine pitcher in "Whitey" Wroblewski, but they can't seem to hit the ball and give him some runs to work with. Three Wins for Sqdn. H He must be commended for the spirit he displays on the field when the chips are down against his team. The boys from squadron H will really be hard to stop now they have three straight wins under their belt. The boys of the 1028th air service squadron continue to remain in the spotlight by virtue of their win over the boys of the 4135th. This particular game was one of the best played games of the current season. The score was 1 to 1 for five innings, during which time both teams played flawless ball in the field. Olsen of the 1028th air service squadron did a marvelous jobt, of pitching, failing to have a n game by a scant margin. it He did pitch a game, but a walk and a few passed balls gave the 4135th their one and only unearned run. Much is to be said for the fine support that this pitcher gets from the members of his team. McGill of the 4135th did a real job of pitching for his team, pitching himself out of a couple of tight spots. This win for the boys of the 1028th leaves them in the undefeated Last Monday evening the 1029th air service squadron lost its first game of the season to the 4135th section "B" ending up on the los ers' end of a score of 7 to 4. The game was a pitcher's bat tle with McGill of the 4135th emerging the victor. Loose fielding and. poor judgment were the chief factors late in the game which caused the downfall of the 1029th. In the game between the 4513th and the 4135th squadron "H," the latter defeated the 4513th 9 to 8 by pushing over five runs in the sixth inning after trailing 7 to 2. The game was loosely played with both teams hitting freely. The 1028th defeated the 1935th SCU by a lopsided score of 25 to 2. The 1028th has yet to be defeated. All of the men on the 1028th hit freely and Olson turned in a brilliant pitching performance. lhe eighth denot turned in a victory over the 1030th in the last of four games played. The unde feated 1028th is top team at present. The 4135th section B and the 4135th squadron H seem to have found their range and should cause the leader trouble when they hard-hittin- no-hi- no-ru- no-h- class. 4513th Gets Going Following a streak of bad luck during which time the boys of the 4513th took a few beatings, it looks like they are on their way back to the win column by virtue ot a victory over the eighth depot unit. Pvt. Olivero of the 4513th has his boys all steamed up now and they claim they will knock over every one in their path. The addition of Sgt. Reece to the Ditching staff will really improve the team as a whole. The boys of the eighth depot unit did manage to get quite a few hits from Reece. This same pitcher managed to scat ter them so that they wouldn't do too much damage. The boys from the "Nightfighter" outfit seem to be improving with each game so they should be tougher to beat with each came. The runs which the boys from the 1029th got in the first inning were too mucn ior tne men oi the 102nd AACS unit to overcome ball all the way Playing good through, once they achieved the lead, the 1029th went on to win the game. The loss of their pitcher was really felt by the boys of the 102nd as the bats of the 1029th really took a toll and scored some The Hill Field Hostess club is already only two months ofold, andcheer and good such great doses been dispensed have friendliness that there now is no question as of to the worth and permanency chapthe organization.

This was a regular scheduled contest of the women's division of the Ninth Service Command softball league. The Hill Field team was successful in turning back the vis itors by a score of 17 to 15. The pitching and hitting prowess of Pfc. Green was outstanding during the course of the game. Pfc. Ripperton, also of the Hill Field team, and Green each hit home runs. Slick, Cary and Whitmer of the Dugway team played very well. The pitcher for the Dugway team also hit a home run. This was the first in the series of games to be played between OATSC WACs and representative teams of the neigh boring military installations. One Player Injured Whitmer, the captain and second baseman of the Dugway team had a little bad luck attempting to slide into third, when she strained some of the ligaments in her thigh and tore a muscle.

They played very poorly in the field and as a result the 1029th was permitted to run up quite a score. Borger and Usoswkl of the 102nd plaved a good game in the field for their team. .. ,,.;r . i fW tf-v- i. |
