Beckley Little League volunteers push for new park work
Beckley Little League met to test volunteer labor on the new park near the 1 19 21 By Pass. President George Springer said even without poles expected by Saturday there is enough to keep 12 workers busy over the weekend.

The league authorized buying a backstop and building a fence to the outfield fences, to start on the first good day. A special meeting with the Little League Mothers club was planned at the Elks Lodge at 7 30 with project movie showings and plans for a public kickoff to be discussed at the next session.
