Optimists face choices on park plans for softball tourney
Oshkosh park commissioners offered help to keep the Optimist Club sponsored Central Wisconsin Softball Tournament at Thane Park amid a ban on car naps and beer in city parks. Aid. Robert Luedtke urged club reps to back council action and anticipate an ordinance to halt the practice. A second plan would convert Municipal Athletic Field for softball, including sod removal, mound lowering, barrier and backstop, with costs covered by the club. American Legion and Cub leaders objected, noting the field supports heated baseball use and cannot serve both purposes.
