like to try hand at managing. If
so get some boys together and join
the fun this summer or call the
City Recreation Department and
ask for Harry Wagner who will line
up a group of boys for you.
A baseball school will operate
each Saturday afternoon at Pulaski

OLD TIMERS SOFTBALL

q teams 433 players
These leagues feature men from
20 to 90 years of age and Wyan-
dotterS have taken to this game as
a form of recreation like bowling.
Sports goods statesmen tell me that
Wyandotte is the largest purchaser
of 14-inch balls in Michigan and
We rival Chicago where the game
is also popular. The scheduled &C
tivity Of once or twice a week of
old timers taking only an hour or
an hour and one-half to play
good old game of ball made easy
to hit has won the hearts of hun
dredS of our citizens. Imagine
about $50 Old Timers games were
played in Wyandotte last year, and
for a grand total-93 teams, about
1900 players, some counted extra
as they played on more than one
team. 1850 in all means the oppor-
tunity was here.
To keep the diamonds in shape
Is real job and is done regularly
for the Recreation Department by
the Street Department under the
direction of Charley Conley and the
grass is kept down by the Parks
Dept. under the direction of How
ard Solo. Still many other city de-
partments are helpers in many
ways, City Engineering Dept. lays
out diamonds officially, Municipal
Service installS lights, etc.
One final statistic worth mem
tioning is how many beefs with this
number of games produce. I have
no records on this but my office
gets its share, player ineligibility,
diamonds in poor shape, balls bad
and umpires blind. You have to love
this work for you will get little
sympathy but I like to beef myself
so I enjoy it.
In order to make clear the City
Recreation Department not only
sponsors ball; it should be stated
We operate on a year around basis
and have besides a ball program in
the summer. 10 Fairgrounds, ten
mis- courts, handicraft shop, youth
band, teen age outdoor dances and
cooperate within any civic organI-
cations in the loan OF equipment
for picnics and picnic programs and
we are still happy to be of service
to you If we can.

48 teams 684 players


The 684 represents some duplica-
ton as many played both baseball
and softball. Each of the above
teams played twice week which
makes 18 games and played Is
weeks or a total of 100 games not
counting the playoffs and inter city
series. It's easy to see that this
takes lot of baSeballs, softballs,
bats, bases, masks, ETC., but the city
has been not only furnishing those
free to the youngsters, but to make
the games really official has pro-
vided official umpires for the older
boys games and used supervisors
for the rest.
Two Inter-City Champions
emerged from the above groups
Sobcieks Confectionery won the
under IA years Softban Champion
ship and Parks Dept. baseball team
won the under 16 years champion
ship.
This year looks better than ever
with greater challenges for the
youngsters in form of tournament
at the end of the summer. However,
one great need is felt to hold these
youngsters together. This need Is
adult backing Last summer Joe
DolinSki formed two midget teams
and got the Wyandotte Chemical
Corp. 70 outfit them economically
an Joe followed the teams after
working hours, making a real sum-
mer for the boys and kept them
working together. Doc Fulmer and
Howard Solo did likewise for the
Parks Dept. team. This summer the
Fraternal Order of Police are going
to back up a team and I know
these boys will have the leadership
so necessary for them. The cost to
these men is little except in time
spent With the boys, q few hours
each week. About $40 furnished the
Parks Dept. Team with shirts. but
you couldn't buy the warm friend
illness that these adults gave to the
boys. There must be lot more dads

STATE HEALTH OFFICER SAYS

Starvation in our land of plenty
seems highly improbable, but it
does occur right here in our state.
Victims of pellagra starve not for
want of enough food but for want
of the right kind of food, for want
of certain food elements that will
protect them from this weakening
and sometimes fatal disease.
Pellagara, though still common
in the state is one of the most east
ly prevented of all diseases. Good
meals consisting of simple foods
that come from the farm and gar
den will not only prevent but will
cure many cases of it. To make
sure the diet is adequate, it should
include each day a pint of milk,
for adults, quart for children, lean
meat, a green or yellow vegetable,
citrus fruit or tomatoes, two other
servings of vegetables or fruit. but
ter or fortified cleo, whole grain
or enriched cereal, at least four
eggs weekly.
