Keep Boys Playing Baseball Here

umpires fees in 1856 added up to
$427.5O. Miscellaneous expenses
which paid for stationery, stamps,
trophies, etc. accounted for the
remainder of the total monies
spent.
Thus, it is quite apparent that
it is impossible to operate the
leagues ION a shoestring" and,
therefore, without the continued
support of local merchants who
back the teams, the grateful par
ents, and other interested East
Cleveland patrons, the ECLLI
could not possibly exist. There are
approximately 80 men and women
who volunteer a great deal of their
time and efforts to form the all
important "life blood" of this very
worthwhile organization. They and
the boys to whom playing base
ball is an excellent outlet for
youthful vim and vigor in the
summer months certainly deserve
the whole-hearted support Of every
family in East Cleveland.
This opportunity will present
itself on Saturday when a small
army of players, coaches, mana
gers, umpires and scorers will
canvass the entire East Cleveland
area on a house-to-house "safari." F"

local leagues-Colt, Pony, Little
and Minor-will be wearing their
uniforms and carrying small COL
lection cans into which you will
be asked to drop your contribu-
tions. Donors will be given tag
to identify themselves as a con-
tributor and the amount will be
left entirely to the discretion of
the donor.
When one of the boys rings
your doorbell on Saturday or con-
facts you at one of your favorite
shopping centers in East Cleve-
land business district, we hope
you will contribute. If, by chance,
you are overlooked during the
canvassing period which will oc-
cupy the major portion of the day,
you may make your contribution
by dropping it off at the East
Cleveland Police Station at any
hour next week.
DR.. William Morris, who organ
lied the Tag Day effort so sue
cessfully last year, is again in
charge this year. He has asked
that any person who is free to

One of the most important
events on the East Cleveland
sports program will materialize
this Saturday when the second an
nual Tag Day will be conducted by
the East Cleveland Little Leagues,
Inc.
This is a "must" on the oper-
ating agenda of the ECLLl and
an excellent opportunity for all
civic minded East Clevelanders to
offer their financial support to a
sports program for local boys be-
tween the ages of 10-17.
Needless to say, it takes a great
deal of money to supply the needs
for the 578 boys who take part
in this popular baseball program
now in it's fifth year of existence.
For example, in 1866 total Of
$4,375.12 was spent by the East
Cleveland little Leagues, Inc. to
meet the various needs of the
organization. Equipment alone
totaled $2,828.44 which paid for
the uniforms, balls and bats.
Insurance coverage, which pro-
vides for the safety Of the players
not only during the games and
practice sessions but also during
their trips to and from the ball
field, cost $4,000 certainly
money well spent. Scorers and
