"To the firnu in Morehead, who through their financial support eliminated our financial worries, to the managers, umpires who gave of their time, to Mri Rum Willan and Mra. Bill Fahy particularly for work in the concession stands, the League is indebted. "We wish to thank Mr. Ottls Purifoy for furnishing us with ice to keep the drinks cold and for a handsome catcher's mitt. Also, thanks a whole lot to Jerry Schu macher who made pictures of each of the four team* and gave a print to every boy playing. "We thank Mr. George Huntley of Huntleys in Beaufort and Mr. Russell and Fred Willis 'of Willis Lumber Co. for going along with us on the physical outlay at the field. We appreciated the coopera tion from the parents and the spec tators during the season, and last but not least to the boys them selves who played. The boys gave jis some fine baseball; what they may have lacked in finesse they made up for in spirit, and we are all looking forward to a banner year in 1956. "Next year we will be with a 'full franchise,' eligible to parti cipate in the national eliminations, and its not inconceivable in the future that Morehead could go to the finals and win the National tournament. The winning team this year came from a community of only 5.000 persons in Pennsyl vania. "Thanks also goes to The Car teret County News-Times and to radio stations WMBL and WBMA."
