When the Acton Industrial Softball League sets out to en their teams out with early season trades and drafting no one is safe not even league president Karl After five games of the industrial league season team captains and exe members sit down and try to bolster the weaker team line with players from the front running squads At a meeting last Tuesday the league attempted just that Killingbeck had to be the most con fused person at the Tuesday meeting as he shovelled around and around Karl was at the beginning of the meeting a member of Family Cleaners Family currently hosts the best industrial league record at five wins and one loss By the time the meeting was half over Kilhngbeck had been traded or as Family captain Gary Wilson kidded given away to last placed Station Hotel It seemed though that no one wanted the league president on their side for some reason or another Station hastily traded Killingbeck to Vans Welding the current second place club President Karl showed up for one last time with his double blue Family Cleaners uniform the next night Wednesday for his swan song All game long made reference to the mistake that Family was making in giving him up how versatile a ball player he was and that he would come back to haunt them if they didn t change their mind Whether it was all the threats labelled at Family team or the old story that nobody wanted the league president Kail showed up at Prospect Park on Sunday evening wearing his familiar double blue uniform prepared to toil once again for Family Cleaners It seemed that Van decided they didnt need a versatile like Karl but someone who could play the outfield Vans made a trade with Family for fielder Doug Fotd and returned Karl home in the process Anybody need a versatile Saturday nights Acton
