For years the softball people have been trying to get fans and aports writers to speak of the game as "fastfall" but they don't seem to be making very much progress. But even if the new name isn't doing so, the game it- self appears to be progressing by —to coin a phrase—leaps and boxnds.�There are even those who believe that, before too long, it will be more universally played than soccer football or even trap- shooting. For softball is floss being popu- larized on three different contin- ents, largely through the example and efforts of merchant seamen who operate freighters and pas- 3enge'r ships manned by the Sea- farers International Union. These shipboard teams, accord- ing to John Bunker, are regularly playing with local aggrebations in such widely separated points as Mombassa, East Africa, and Baie Comeau, on the Gulf of St. Law- rence. The whole thing started, they say, about four years ago when the S. S. SEA TARPON made a call at the Port of Beira, in East Africa. To pass the time away, teams re- presenting the ship's officers and crew played a hot game of soft- ball under an even hotter tropical sun; and although the onlooking natives probably hadn't the slight- est idea of what it was all about, they were greatly interested, never- thele5s, +k :k Later in 1946 other ships started playing softball games at different spots on the African Coast and the following year a team from the S: S. Robin Licksley thought that it might be interesting to organize some local talent, so as to have some real opposition on their regu- lar calls there. And this one local team soli developed into the Mom- bassa Softball League. * � a The innovation caught on to such an extent that now the Steam- ship Line furnishes uniform,s balls, $$ loves, bats and other equipment for the crews of its ships, and softball has become so popular that the sailors have no trouble book- ing local competition at Durban, Capetown, Mombassa and other African ports. Good sized crowds attend the games, and the South African papers carry full accounts of what goes on. >w * e A somewhat similar league, if you can call it that, operates on shipes of the Delta Line, plying 'between New Orleans and South American points. When there's no •focal competition available, officers and crews play at the -nearest open leld adjacent to the docks. Theme neftball missionaries report that their battles invariably arouse keen "Okay, Boys, Bring on The Horse" A. lucky boy is Nisel Chajkel, European DP, who arrived in New York along with 1350 other displaced persons, T h e Hebrew Immi- grant Aid So- ciety, wrhose emblem Nisel wears, made ar- rangements for the boy and his liarents to settle with relatice4. lc interest among the local citizenry; but these ships stay such a short time in port that there has been little chance, so far, to organize this interest into home-brew teams. Another active Torrid Zone soft- baIl outfit represents the liner Porto Rico, In San Juan they play teams of locals at the city park near the Normandie Hotel, and also book games with softballers from the Frances and Suzanne, freighters belonging to the same line, * * o Getting nearer to home there's the huge freighter Colabee, which packs newsprint from the Baie Comeau, on the .Gulf of St. Law- rence, to New York City. At the end of the navigation season on the St. Lawrence the Colabee soft- baliers donate their equipment to the Baie Comeau kids in order to spread interest in the; sport among the French-Canadian children at that isolated. -port,.,..., The Colalyee. makes -its southern runs loaded, -but as there is little or no return freight, the northerly runs are made in ballast. And the Colabee team, at least so it claims, when heading north does its prac- tising in the bigopen spaces of the Number Two Hold. That, we should like to see, especially if the waves were running a bit high, down in the Gulf.
