They have taken over the boys and have taught them the sity of being good sports. They have developed the character nd ball playing ability in these boys. In plain ‘words, they have one one of the besi jobs ever performed in the capacity of a youth rainet Lefty Reagan, manager of the Kiwanis team, has done one of he most outstanding jobs. Although his team didn’t win the first if \f, they came a long way. Walter Dopp of the Rotary, piloted ‘his lub to the first half championships in fine style. Paul Albury .of he Lions had his team leading through the ‘first half. Chitter Baker of the Elks brought a young and inexperienced team into competi- ion. Joe Charles of the VFW did a magnificent job to get into the | hot play. And last of all Curly Sweeting. Curly has put some of the inest sportsmanship arrays in his JayCee boys that has ever been shown. : Not only have the managers done such fine jobs, but also the ine coaches under them, They have been the backbone of many of the Little League teams.
