Vol. bMeeting Set10To Start JalBy VERNON HUNTINGTONLittle League time is here again.Preparations for the opening of the 1956 season are now underway. An open meeting will beheld Tuesday, April 10, at 7 p.m. at the City Flail for all who are interested in the program for the new season, and interested in helping to prepare and conduct this years program.Anyone interested in the promotion of Little League in Jal is urgently needed, and encouraged to attend and take part in all the affairs of the years program. Many workers are needed to make a success of Little League in Jal.Work is underway to complete the new’ playing field in the Southeast corner of the Element ry School yard. Bleachers have been fabricated and are ready to be put in place, but much work is required on the playing field, which can only be realized though the efforts of interested persons. The field must be cleaned of stubs, which could seriously injure a boy should they be left as is. Dugouts, concession stand, water lines, temporary fences, parking lots and lights must be finished by late May in order for Little League to have a suitable diamond for play this summer.Much w’ork has already beenaccomplished by a few workers. Adequate funds have been raised to finance this summers program and no funds will be soliciated at this meeting or any future meeting. Only labor and interest is needed to insure a successful summer program.Officers and Directors of the League have worked faithfully and diligently to give Jal a Little League program worthy of more support from parents, and other interested persons than has been shown in the past. Parents are urged to attend the meeting Tuesday night, in that perhaps your son may be the one kept offProgramthe street and out of trouble through his interest in a constructive activity during the summer vacation.Larry Leave!!in the BigLeague NowLarry Leavell, teen-age son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Leavell, is inthe big league now. He has in hispossession something that practically every young boy in town w’ould give his ‘eye-teeth’ for.Fie has an autographed baseball —autographed by Bill Rigney,manager of the New York Giants — and A1 Rosen, veteran of th**Cleveland Indians. It happened like this:Larry accompanied his father and his big brother, Carroll—and Bobby Burgess and son Dean to Lubbock Tuesday to see the exhibition game between the Giants and Indians—and personally contacted the tw'o important baseball men for their autograph.To begin with, Larry was lucky when the found a baseball on the outside of the park as the group entered the grounds. This afforded him the opportunity to see and talk to, and obtain the autograph of the two big-leaguers.-—o-i 9 . - «•.v,8ftsii3PTfl Meeting IsMonday Night AtN.
