Ball Teams Help

A Wonderful Young Team
BY r. D. THOMAS

Suburban sandlot clubs become
more and more valuable TO the
communities from which they take e
their names. The clubs advertiseWs
the communities. &
Activity in sandlot sports grows
apace. The more activity, the
more publicity for the teams and
increased advertising for the com
nunities. n
Bill Malone, former baseball ~
leader Of Clarendon, declares that
few people this side Of the Poe.
tonac knew where Clarendon was
or anything else about it until
it became known as the home Of
his victorious ball team.
Now. everybody knows about the s.
pretty Virginia town, says Bill, and
the advertising gained through
baseball hasn't hurt real estate val
ues. he adds. Bill isn't able to es-
innate how much it has helped.
But suburban leaders are coming q
to know that baseball advertising
is really worth while and are back
ing up the neighborhood teams.
