evening of good old fashioned
Aln as the Babe Ruth League
Engaged the Little Leaguers in a
game of donkey baseball. No
attempt was made to keep a
score but we understand the
adults had as much if not more
fun than the children.
Incidentally we hear so much
in talk and print these days
about the needs of youth and
what should be done to meet
them; we think that the group
behind these boys and their
teams should be given a lot of
credit for giving a large group
, of Damascus young people
healthy, worthwhile recreation.
The Little League is made up
of boys from 8 to II and its
first team was organized five
years ago. A second team was
organized this year and the
teams are known as the Lions
and the Cubs. The teams play
in regular competition in a little
league made up of teams from
Mt. Airy 90 and from Win
field %.
They play at least once a week
usually on Fridays at $50 and
occasionally have a second game
on Mondays. Roscoe Buxton and
Roy Scott are in charge of the
ogram. Uniforms and other
equipment were purchased
through the help of the Lions
who contributed $1OO and the
Ben Franklin 5 and 10, Jerry
Cook, the Damascus Pharmacy,
the Damascus Food store and the
Western Auto. AT present Win.
field is leading in the Little
League.
The Babe Ruth League is
made up of older boys (13 to 16)
and is sponsored by Walter
Souder and Robert Snapp. 1t
was organized this year and
plays in a league with Mt. Airy,
Lisbon and Sykesville. Uni
forms and equipment for this
group were donated by the
businessmen of Damascus. They
play twice a week, once at home
and once away with the home
game usually being on Thursday
afternoon. They play on regu-
lation diamond; the Little
LeaguerS use a somewhat
smaller diamond.
The proceeds over and above
expenses of the Thursday game
went to the teams for the pur-
base of equipment.
y A meeting of the newly signed
charter members of the Sugar
