Minden Softball Championship The Piggies cruised through the season with only one defeat to their discredit and with fifteen wins hanging in the Fishermen's trophy hall When you consider how difficult it for a pitcher In professional baseball leagues to chalk Hip twenty victories you can realise what Lester Almond has accomplished in winning 14 contests out of 15 starts Although he has enjoyed the advantage of playing with the Minden equivalents of the unbeatable New York Yankees he has pitched airtight softball It has been suggested that it would have been quite a different story If Lester had been forced to play AGAINST the champs instead of with them However we disagree with this We will readily grant that it is a decided advantage to play with the Piggies but Lester Almond has pitched good ball anyway -While the kingpins are right on top in the loop in fielding the other teams had the best hitters Grogan Oil which probably has the most dangerous batters in the city tried vainly to solve the offerings of right-handed Lester i The true strength of the champs lies in the fact that each man on the team is a skilled performer when it comes to handling the ball They make mistakes They field faultlessly and they make wild throws which are the curse of the City League Of 2E Salisbury was an AH -American quarterback and an All-American end when he played football at the
