about the best one could find for any

Muncie league. I'm my experience
with city leagues I've found out just
one thing: don't load up at the end
of the season with money players;
they are detriment to city league"

"All the Muncie players who were
here this summer were impressed with
the fine spirit shown by all of you,
and send their best regards to ALL and
more success next year." added Pitch
