Small craft storm warnings were up around
the margins of Rockville this week over
move by the Rockville Boys Baseball Associa-
ton and the City Recreation Department to
enforce a two-year-old clause in the Associa-
TONS constitution which limits its particular
brand of baseball to residents of the corporate
limits of Rockville
Non-Rockville boys who played in Rock
vile league last year will be allowed to play
in that particular league again this year, but
not in 1860.
At the present time there are 81 teams Of
10 boys each in the Association. Recreation
Director Bert Kurland feels that this is the
capacity of the program unless facilities are
expanded. There are now Is fields available
to the program, six of which are Rockville
owned. Rockville is growing day by day and
each year more boys are reaching baseball
age. Consequently, some Rockville boys are
left out Kurland says. And then there's the
matter of approximately $1,000 of City funds
which is used to maintain the fields buy bats
and pay the league umpires.
There were 100 to $50 boys playing
from outside the city last year." AssOcia-
ton president Marvin HOrsley said. And
the problem is not just in baseball. About
IA teams from outside Rockville played
in the basketball leagues"
Two teams from outside the city and sew
eral from within draw most of their players
from County boys. Potomac had PeeWee
and Midget team last year and wanted to
bring in Junior team this year. st. Jude's
near Wheaton, had team and wanted to add
two more teams this season. This set the
enforcement in action.
ITS the job of the Recreation Department
to provide for the citizens of Rockville, not
Montgomery County" Kurland says. "Ahd I
can't see why any outsider should be able to
play on a team while Rockville boy has to
stand and watch"
The biggest dissenting cry in the issue came
from Paul Pfeifle, a resident of Glen Hills and
first president of the Association.
"YOu can't draw an iron curtain around
Boys Baseball" Pfeife said Ninety per.
cent of support Of the Rockville Boys Base
ball Association comes from the merchants
and service clubs. Many boys who live out
side of Rockville go to school there, go to
church there. Their parents work, shop
and do business there"
