The
Bill-Board
lilii! By Bill Plank
The Tankers lost out in the Fourth Army Baseball Tournament
last week but only by a hair.
They lost their first game after leading most of the way to
Fort Bliss who went on to capture the crown. In the second game
the Tankers sent Fort Sill back to the barracks for another year.
The third game do-or-die for both the Tankers and the
BAMC Comets a homerun in the bottom of the ninth Inning gave
the Comets a 3 to 2 victory and cost the Tankers their chance
at the title.
Oh well next year is another season and prospects look good
for the Tankers to have another winning season. The problem will
be bringing home the bacon from the tournament.
SLO-PITCH SOFTBALL
A Slo-Pitch Softball tournament is underway here on Liese Field
and 37th Street Field. Slo-pitch differs quite radically from regular
Softball in some rather important points.
Imagine ten men on the field instead of the regular nine. The
odd man is called the "short-fielder" and plays just about anywhere
he wants to on the outfield grass.
An over-sized softball replaces the standard ball and the pitcher
lobs it to the batter "instead of bulleting it across the plate.
A mighty swing by the batter and huge ball arcs into the
outfield. Even the heaviest hitter has a job putting the. ball over
the fence. Most homers are inside-the-park blasts that roll to the
fence.
For anyone who has never seen a slo-pitch game the touranment
will wind up tonight on Liese Field. It's well worth the time spent
to see the antics of the over-grown softball as it skips across the
infield or defies the efforts of the players to get a good hold of it.
YOUTH ACTIVITIES
Youth Activities has just finished another season of Little League
baseball and have already launched their fall football program.
A football clinic is in process now and teams will be chosen

mit their applications to YCAA building 325 or call M/Sgt. Bateman
