Newspaper Page TextCounty Asked To Cooperate In May sth Walk For Mankind The Jackson Kiwanis Club is calling on all Butts countians to support and cooperate with the club’s concept of a “Walk fen* Mankind” to be held on Saturday, May sth. Denny O’Neal is chairman of the club’s Walk for Mankind Committee and said last week that certain steps will be taken in informing the public about the walk. There is no minimum goal; however, O’Neal stated that he hopes the project will raise between $5,000410,000. It is the goal of the committee to have 500 people participating in what will probably be a 20 mile walk at an average of S2O per person. O’Neal said that 40 percent of the gross revenue remains with the Jackson Kiwanis Club while 60 percent goes for Project Concern.

C. Hudson Pat Patterson Pliny Weaver Registration & Manpower Committee Joe Brown, Jr., Chairman Ricky Beauchamp Johnny Carter Randy Hudgins Jimmy Maddox Batting Cage Should Aid Hitters BY BRIAN WAITS Progress-Argus Sports Writer Jackson High’s baseball team is anticipating one of its finest seasons ever in 1973, and one of the reasons may be the new batting cage that the Devils have this season. Anyone riding by Wallace Field these days can see this funny looking cage located behind the left field fence. This batting cage was built by Gerald Wilson and Darrell Pippin with the help of then classes. The cage is being used to improve the team’s hitting ability. Inside one end of the cage is located a pitching machine which throws baseballs to hitters at the other end. The batting cage keeps the base balls inside the area and no one is needed to run down the balls. Red Devil Coach Danny Blue felt that last year’s major weakness was hitting, but with the batting cage everyone is getting an overdose of batting practice. The team feels that this additional batting will add up to problems for the opposing pitchers. The batting cage will also help Jackson’s summer base ball program, with the area Babe Ruth and Little League players learning the funda mentals of hitting. Jackson has always pro duced fine defensive teams over the years, and now with the new batting cage added to the program, Jackson hitters should start producing. Jackson High opens the baseball season against Grif fin, March 24 at 2:00 p.m., with the game being played at Wallace Field in Jackson.
