In the second game to start not later than 4:15, the Legion takes on the champs of last season . . . Rotary. All games will be played on the Warsaw Junior High Field. Little League requires the support of the whole community. It is a jealous taskmaster. Manpower and womanpower, is essential in every phase of operations. Last week at the 'try outs" the manpower dis cussed unusual plays and correct mistakes in a friendly and construc tive manner as the boys developed. Out of over fifty boys in the town that should have been up at Junior High, we had only five . . . and I might also add that out of the sev en adult volunteer workers at the try-out only one happened to be a father. There are no financial rewards to the persons who contribute time and money to the Little League.

Mrs. Fred erick pleaded guilty with the re quest that if at the conclusion of the Costin LEGION vs ROTARY their commuinty being walded to gether with a more tolerant under standing of each other's problems. By some strange coincidence, the Little League age group encompass es a distinct, unique period which is known as "preadolescence." This period has been characterized as the time when the nicest children often being to behave in the most awful way. Someone has well said: 'All children are alike in one re spect. They are all different." This statement is particularly appropri ate for Little Leagues. Boyhood is for boys. They only ex perience it once. Their best in terests are not served by depriving them of the opportunity of partici pating in a well organized Little League Program here in Warsaw. NOTICE There will be ae court held ra June IS.
