Tots Play Ball; Fun Strikes Out
VW
If you’re expecting a few comments on the hilarious
antics of parents attending a Little League banquet, don t
read further.
I haven’t attended any games this year, because l am no
longer playing the game of organized baseball. And make
no mistake about it, organized ball is an organization of
parents, not boys.
Last year my youngest son played because he asked to
join a team. I sat on the sidelines swatting at gnats so
he could have a turn at bat. And, for the benefit of those
who might suspect I’m chewing over sour grapes, I can
say proudly that he isn’t a bad player and he isn’t a sissy.
Also, our group was set up so that every boy had a turn, so
I have no quarrel, as do many parents, about democracy
or the fairness of the officials. The important thing is, he
was not having any fun.
I could not help comparing the games my cousin Jack
(he always wore a leather flying helmet and goggles)
played and the games my son played. The little boys,
none over 10, sat grimly, looking like a row of ulcer
cases. The parents were, for want of a better word,
enthusiasts. (The truth is, I know a better word but I
don’t think the editor will print it.)
There was a time when I was a devout Baseball Mother
—when my eldest son was trying to play the game. I’d
like to forget about it, but baa memories DO have away
of sticking. There was the time when I watched my eldest
(he was only 10 then) cry on the diamond while a grown
man stood screaming over him because he had dropped
the ball. I was ashamed. No, and I’m sorry to admit it,
I was not ashamed of that ridiculous red-faced man. I
was ashamed of the boy!
My second son turned a deaf ear to our pleas to play
ball. He would never try out for a team. And, I have bad
memories of that also, because I was guilty of shouting at
him, “What’s the matter with you!” Now I wonder what
was the matter with ME!
At least I was never guilty of running onto the field or
shrieking abusive words at an umpire, and I have seen
more than one parent do those things. I have never cursed
a child—and I’ve heard that more than once. I have never
driven off and left a child to walk home as punishment
for an error in the game—and I observed a father take that
action.

One of the most diffi
cult things about giving
up smoking is to find
someone to sympathize
with you.
By BETTY CANARY
When I was a Baseball Mother, I had big words and long
theories about how playing ball was not only healthful but
was a learning experience for the boys. My personal
experience is that at least one thing these children are
learning is how to make play seem like work.
Belts make their own inner
circle of chic. The fashion
conscious young sometimes wear
two or three belts together,
extending from waist to hip, to
accent her lithe slenderness.
Some belts for fall and winter
have bells that tinkle.
Jingle-jangle comes from gypsy
coins and other metallic
oddments that clink and clank
