West Salem’s softball team had a very successful season, winning seven out of seven games. This year softball was introduced into the “Little Ten Tourney,” as basketball is. A nice trophy was presented to the school for having the highest conference standing—seven played, seven won. We had a fine battery. Boewe did the pitching and Bratsch was behind the plate. All other positions were taken care of in nice shape. The outstanding feature of the season was in the game played with Keensburg. West Salem was at bat, two out in the last inning, West Salem trailing by a score of 3 to 6, a pop up in the infield, which through an error, was a hit, and a homerun brought the score from a 6 to 3 in favor of Keensburg, to a 7 to 6 in favor of West Salem. Members of the squad are as follows (right to left) : Max Boewe, David Bratsch. Richard Schwarzlose, J. T. Dorney, Bob Orrel, Charles Miller, J.
