VOLUME 75—NO. 28
SPECTATOR’S CORNER
By JOE ZELLNER
One of the most useful and valuable forms of recrea
tion is Little League baseball. A network of eager young
sters, devoted recreational directors and workers, and in
terested parents characterize the usual program which has
spread throughout the nation.
One of the most admirable persons in this network is
the Little League manager, a man who is willing to give
his time for the benefit and enjoyment of youth. This man
braves the criticism of onlookers, the scorn of disappointed
parents, and the views of a multitude of second-guessers to
invest his time in a worthwhile activity, designed to make
the world of tomorrow a better place in which to live. Yet,
this man draws much more criticism than praise for his
efforts.
Another person.who is to be readily complimented is
the man who dares don the black suit and attempt to call
the balls and strikes. This man not only draws the spec
tator’s displeasures, but many times those of the players
and managers. Even so, no matter how bad his calls may
seem, it’s hard to find anyone who wants to trade places.
But the real spirit of the scene enters with the Little
Leaguer himself. A youngster, dressed in the same lingerie
as the great Cobb, Ruth, and DiMaggio, trots onto the
baseball diamond and begins one of the most important
phases of his life. From Little League baseball, he will re
ceive invaluable training in the art of getting along with
others, the importance of teamwork, and the character
development which will help prepare him for later years.
Many parents expect the Little Leaguer to play like
a professional. They don’t seem to realize that the boy in
the uniform is young, inexperienced and many times, ner
vous and scared on the field. Parents often criticize their
son openly and become harsh with him because of a mis
take. They seem to think he should know everything about
the game and be able to play without error. Some have
been known to punish their youngster because of a bobble
or strikeout.
The Little Leaguer needs help and encouragement,
not criticism or punishment. After all, he is only a young
boy, 12 years old or younger. Little League is supposed to
be a game, not a profession as some parents may think.
Professional baseball players make mistakes. Take away
the age, maturity, and experience the professional has over
the Little Leaguer, and you marvel at the way the young
ster plays the game.
DISTRICT GAINS
ANOTHER FIRST
Another first in Georgia comes
to the Seventh District in the
form of Dalton’s Lassie (girls’)
Softball League, according to Al
Bishop, state commissioner of
softball. The girls softball pro

tor there.
The league started in April
with four weeks of infield and
batting practice. The girls were
then divided into four teams,

Latty competitors in the Seventh District Swim Meet at the Summerville pool hurl themselves
through the air to begin one of the many events in the meet. Six cities were represented in the
meet. The Summerville entry is in the second lane from left to right.
Summerville All-Stars Whip
Trion Squad lor County Title
Coach Will Stephenson’s Summerville Little League All-Stars have captured two
games from the Trion All-Stars to gain the county title. The Summerville squad
downed the Trion team 5-1 last Friday and 8-4 on Monday.
Little “Lefty” Norton, south
paw firebailer, handcuffed the
Trionites in the Friday night
Lilt, allowing them only one run
on four hits. Norton fanned nine,
including the last four batters to
face him in the game.
Trion’s Larry Maddox, losing
pitcher, seemed to be the only
man able to get to Norton. Mad
dox gained two hits in three at
bats and was on first the other
time on a fielder’s choice. Mad
dox scored Trion's only run.
Summerville leadoff man, Ray
Busby, gained first base four
times in four trips to the plate
and scored three runs. He was
hit by a pitched ball, walked
twice, and singled for a perfect
night at the plate.
Summerville’s big inning came
in the first as singles by Ray
Busby. Rocky Tate and Rodney
Hardeman were followed by a
two run triple by Herby Skelton.
In Monday’s tilt, five walks
given up by Trion hurler Randy
Hill, coupled with doubles by
Wallace Clark and Norton drove
across six runs too vercome a
one run lead by Trion in the first
