Legion Elks Baseball in Ottawa Revived by Community Effort
Ottawa’s Legion-Elks baseball program has rebounded from near death to a solid, self supporting operation at West Second Street Field. A four person committee led by Gene Mavity and coach Conrad Downing, with key support from Lou Brady and Harry Murphy, organized fundraising and field improvements, attracting donors, volunteers, and professional umpires. The revival includes a new field, concessions, and a plan to host the first American Legion district tournament in Ottawa, with a practice game vs Olathe planned before Sunday's opening.
