Kids To See Jets
For Penny A Game

Penny baseball has come to the
youth of Central Ohio With the
permission of the Columbus Jets
front office, Boy Scouts through
out Central Ohio will be permit
ted to sell SOC badges to all boys
and girls up to high school age
which will admit them to all Co
lumbus Jets home games except
those on Sunday, holidays and
opening day. According to the In
ternational League schedule, those
wearing badges may see So regu-
lation games for SOC
The only stipulation is that the
wearer of the badge be accompan-
led by an adult. The Jets front of
flee pointed out the only reason
for this stipulation is to make sure
the youngsters are supervised.
All proceeds from the sale of
the badges will be retained by the
Boy Scouts. In case any Scouts
have not been approached as yet
III IIlC I4ONllN4lAl7
Columbus, they should contact
Paul Handel, Boy Scouts of A

than Boy Scouts interested should
contact John Confess at the Boys
Club, rs S. Gift Street, Colum-
bus, Ohio who is handling the dis
tribution.
This plan is just another way
the civic-minded Jets front office
is actually giving the game to
the youngsters.
When you consider the free
parking, the lower concession
prices, the drinking fountains, the
out-of-town ticket agencies and
many other things planned by the
Jets, you have an idea of just what
