Kitten Ball game sparks city recreation push

A new sport called Kitten Ball draws interest in the city after its first match, DeMolays beating Masons 11 to 10 on a vacant rink lot. The game features a 35-foot pitcher distance, 35-foot bases, a bat under 32 inches long and 2-inch diameter, with runners barred from stealing until the pitch passes home. Organizers plan a four-team league with DeMolays, Masons, a group of single men dubbed the Hijackers, and a potential married men's team.
