Get out the bats, balls and mitts...
Bravettes place 2nd
It’s time to hit the diamonds in softball tourney
Men, women and children of
all ages have dug out their
gloves from deep within a
closet, satchel, or car trunk to
find a friend to throw with.
Balls and bats have appeared in
sporting good stores. Baseball
caps, beaded, feathered, an<j
monogrammed cover braids,
curls, and flat tops.
Grassy areas are now
diamonds, with boards, bare
spots, and cardboard as bases.
Teams are being formed for
womens’ slow and fast pitch
and mens’ slow and hard ball.
Youth baseball is underway for
boys. Girls softball is being
o r g a n iz e d th r o u g h th e
community center, yet to be
announced.
W eather is cooperating,
spoiling players to become
fair-weather athletes. Although
the weather is warm, many
players neglect to warm-up
their bodies prior to activity.
Once the throwing arm is
overused without warm-up, it
may be three or four days of
extrem e so ren ess before
returning to activity. Damaged

maximum enjoyment can be
for everyone, when time is
taken to prepare the body for
physical exertion. Following
are conditioning suggestions
for softball and baseball
enthusiasts.
1. Throw easy and over a
shortdistance when warming
up as the arm warms up
increase the distance or throw
harder. Wear long sleeves to
keep your arm warm and to
prevent muscle soreness.
2. Stretch the entire body
prior to practice or when
waiting in the outfield for fly
balls.
3. In c lu d e s p r in ts in
workouts. Quickness, rather
than endurance is needed for
running bases and fielding.
4. Prepare gradually for
season activity. Physically
burning out in early July may
be attributed to overdoing it in
May.
In ideal weather conditions,
girl’s softball teams gathered in
Redmond, Oregon, for a
r o u n d - r o b b in fa s t p itc h
softball tournament. Teams
from St. Helens, Scappoose,
The Dalles and Warm Springs
all matched talents in a two-day
affair and after all the dust
settled, the St. Helens team
emerged the champs and the
Bravettes in second place.
In hard-played, close games
the Bravettes were matched up
in the first game with the
Scappoose Kwik Mart, then
played The Dalles and St.
Helens teams. On the second
d ay , the B ravettes were
matched with the Scappoose
Kwik Mart team for second
place. All the games were close
and hard-played and each team
showed a lot of spirit for this
early in the season.
The Bravettes placed three
members on the all-star list
along with eight others from
the other teams. Julie Mitchell,
Fran Moses and Victoria
Susuguai of the Bravettes and
Kath Bush, Sue McCartney,
Kathy Chrisner, Sue Juding,
Kim Mart, Bask Vanderwief,
Les Pentrurich and Wendy
Anderson made up the balance
of the all-star list. The most

There was this little boy playing by the mail box when a salesman
came by and asked, “ Hey little boy, does your dog bite?” “No,”
said the boy. A short time later the salesman, “I thought you said
your dog didn’t bite.” “That’s not my dog.” YIKES

of St. Helens and Fran Moses
was named Golden Glove of
the to u rn a m e n t. C onnie
Stewart of St. Helens received
the award for the best batting
average which was .615 for the
two-day affair.
This was the first outing for
the Bravettes for the year which
gave them a chance to see
where work was needed in
practice for future games. The
team did well in spite of such a
short practice session. It was
said that a lot of work has to be
done on batting as well as some
infield work. The Bravettes will
be playing in a fast pitchleague
in The Dalles on Wednesdays
and Fridays.
Ed H e a th , to u rn a m e n t

tournaments are being planned
for the future and hopes the
Bravettes will be able to attend.
This was A.S.A. sanctioned
state class B fast pitch
tournament.
In other action in the two-
day event, a seven-man fast
pitch softball tourney was
played. Metolius claimed the
consolation trophy. Results
were not available for the men’s
