REPORT OF HENRY ST. FIELD SUB-COMMITTEE
We report increased activities in an area composed of three (3) ball fields, an asphalt basketball court, covered this year but not entirely completed.
No league games are played on this court but boys and girls of all ages play scrub games and practice daily.
We have a playground section composed of slide, swings, etc., patronized from morning until nightfall, seven days week- ly from April to November.
Little League, composed of six teams, and Minor League, four teams, used one of the three diamonds in which 25 games were played, plus practice sessions held non-scheduled nights and Saturdays, or 24 boys played ball each day from April to July.
Lassie League Softball played and practiced from May to August 30th on a new diamond in which 96 girls participated in a six-team league, plus four All Star home and home out-of- town teams.
Community League Softball afforded recreational activi- ties for approximately 90 to 100 men and youths of the area. Six teams were entered in the league, playing 4 nights weekly, also Saturday and Sunday games, from May 20th to August 31st, with open dates for practice on a diamond used exclusive- ly for softball. Their season ended in September with a tournament and playoffs. This softball field was newly seeded last Fall and is in very good conditon.
Elementary Schools were allotted the use of two diamonds or ball fields, (afternoon games) for 12 hardball games (boys) and 12 softball games (girls). Eight (8) teams participated with approximately 120 boys and girls.
Junior High played tag football with four (4) teams par- ticipating in 12 games or 50 to 60 youths engaged in this Fall pastime.
203
Playground softball games were also held on Henry Street Field during the months of July and August.
A 11/2" water line has been installed across the field to provide water for the softball and Lassie fields.
A 4-foot chain link fence (permanent) separating softball and Little League, eliminates installing and removing snow fence in the Spring and Fall.
The Lassie League field has been improved, but for a sat- isfactory playing area for the girls we recommend a few things to be done, such as:
A backstop instead of a batting cage (presently used). Fill, raise, loam, and seed the left field section for safety pur- poses.
A Carnival was held in the parking lot with fireworks in an undeveloped section. A circus was denied access to the de- veloped area by this Committee, because of possible destruction which could occur.
The Annual Halloween Children's Party, preceded with a Horrible Parade, rides, fireworks, etc., was held on the field October 31st.
Because of increased activities already mentioned, we re- quested $300.00 more to finish our season, and voted at a special Town Meeting, which we received, enabling us to serve the children and youth recreational facilities and activities we are proud of.
Respectfully submitted, LOUIS E. BRUNELLE, Henry Street Sub. Chairman.
LITTLE LEAGUE
Little League tryouts were held in May. Over 250 boys from the age of 8 through 12 turned out. Twelve teams were formed from this group, six Little League and six Minor League teams. Each team had a roster of 15 boys, making a total of 180 boys who played Little League baseball. South- bridge Little League All-Star team took part in the District Play-Offs, winning one game and losing one. The second game was played at Henry Street Field, and attracted a crowd of better than 300 people.
REPORT OF 1962 BABE RUTH LEAGUE
1962 was a banner year for Babe Ruth League baseball in Southbridge. Tryouts were held in May. From this player pool six teams were formed. Each team had a roster of fifteen players, a manager and coach. Each team had a fifteen-game
204
schedule with the games divided between Alumni Field and Dresser Street Field. Spectator attendance at our games hit an all-time high, especially at Alumni Field. The fields that were used to play our games were kept in wonderful condition throughout our entire season. From Minor League up through Babe Ruth League 270 boys played baseball, fully equipped. EDWARD WHITE, Past President.
