The team award was ac cepted by Manager Elmer Nolan. The spotlight of fame was too much for Manager Nolan and Shortstop Parker, neithM- being very successful in their speech of aeceptance. How ever they got the awards—and that is the main thing. The game was handled by three umpires. Sowell worked back of the bat Misses Andie May Godwin and Teresa Reed at bases. The players accepted all dedlstons of the girls with smiles but they had sonie remarks to offer Sowell several times durnig the afternoon. While It was supposed that this game would mark'the close of the softball sport this year. It was an nounced that next we^ the Raiders will take on A1 Kelly’s Maintenance team. This means that Terry, who played a bang up game at short cen ter for the Raiders last Sunday will have to swltdi to the Kelly clan^for the coming tilt Jmmings also wilt be. with the Maintenance but co-man ager Robinson will have Harrison as catcher and Sowell will be In the iineup, ecabllng a transfer of a player to Terry’s place in Wt.
