"As team mother, I do a little bit of everything," says Ms. Smith, whose son Jonathan plays for the Mets. "I do some fundraising; I make sure the kids get back and forth from practice, and I try to help provide transportationfor parents to and from games." Another reason the league has been able to survive despite its constant financial difficulties is the "givesomething-back" attitude of former players like William Westbrook Jr. "I think about the opportunity the league provided me when 1 was a young," says Westbrook, who coaches one of the four teams in the Pony League. "I figured_lhaU bycoaching, I could give something back." John Jowersjwas_a member of one Mlheieams during the league's first year. His son Chris now plays for one of the little league teams. - _? "I think the Twin City League is a big asset for black kids," says Jowers. "There is certain concern and per-" sonal attention they get here that they may not get in other leagues. In some of the other leagues, unless a black kid is a super athlete, he may not get the right kind of training." __ ? Under rules in the Twin City League, all players are required to get at least one chance in the field and one at batT every game, League officials say that a lack of financial support from black businesses and a lack of volunteer help from parents have been the major disappointments. But there are a number of loyal fans. Come out to Hanes High School or Kennedy High School fields, where the Pony League games are played, or to Rupert Bell Park, where the little league games are played, during the weekday evenings and all day on Saturdays and you'll find supporters like Daisy Mae Good and Harold Sampson cheering for all the teams. 'Tve been coming out here to see these children play since about 1969/' says Mrs. Good, 78, sitting in her lawn chair perched atop a hill in Rupert Bell Park. "I love to see these little children play. I wouldn't miss it for the world." ' .. "Every summer I look forward to these baseball ^ ^ n ri ? - - - - gdino, says Sampson, 65. "I love baseball and have all my life. Sometimes I watch it on TV, but Td much rather watch these youngsters play because it's something special about it.

If he does this, he has a great chance of winning." Harriett echoes his coach's feelings: "I think I can win it all. I have had the experience of 37 fights (32 wins, five losses) and I think 1 can go all the way." Harriett says that, after the Junior Olympics, he plans to fight in the open division and hopefully enter the professional ranks. i4I think he can be a good pro as a middleweight", says Lowry, who fought professionally as a middleweight himself. Lowry says that more than $900 in contributions has been gathered to sponsor the trip to national competition and adds, "When we fly out of here on Sunday, we will have one thing in mind: bringing a national title back to the people and the city of Winston-Salem.M n .
