Several weeks ago we wrote an
article about the Damascus Little
Leaguers. We received quite a
few complaints about that article.
There was nothing wrong with
the story but 1t seems that we
just failed to mention the Babe
Ruth League. So with a tip of
our hat to the older boys, here
goes.
The Babe Ruth League is made
up of boys from 13 through Is.
They play a nine-week schedule
which will end August 9. This
will be followed by league play
off to determine the champion
ship. There are four teams par
ticipating in the play-Damascus,
and Lisbon which are tied at this
writing for first place2Mt. Airy,
which is third, and Sykesville,
which is in the cellar.
The boys play at home every
Thursday at $50 and every Tues
day away. Uniforms were ac-
quired through the contributions
of the local Damascus business
men. The boys are operating a
SNOWFALL stand at the carnival to
make money for balls, bats and
other equipment.
Robert Snapp and Walter Sou
der are coaches for the Damascus
team which is made up of the fol
lowing boys-Jerry Hyatt, Rich
ard Keil, Nelson Rhinehart, Louie
Abrahams louie and Nelson in
cidentally are leading their team
in batting and are hitting over
.400), Mike Burdette, Wayne Sou
der, Larry Johnson, Ronnie Wat
kins, Clifford Burdette, George
Pierce, Druid Clodfelter, Frank
Rice, Arthur johnson, Chuckie
Rhinehart and Woodrow Ward.
We salute the men who work
to make these teams possible and
who give the youngsters health
full, worthwhile recreational ac-
tivity.
