Letters to the Editors
Dear Editor:
The city of College Station has
been fortunate enough to be grant
ed permission to build its own Lit
tle League Baseball Park. The
City bought two acres of land in
College Park to be used for the
Baseball park.
As only about $1300 is available
for the building of the park, very
much of the labor will have to be
done by interested citizens of Col
lege Station. The $1300 will buy
only the lumber for the fence and
concession stand.
The purpose of this letter is to
acquaint the Daddys who will have
or do have children playing Lit
tle League Baseball with the need
of some free skilled oi’ unskilled
help. Only a very few people have
been putting their free time into
the construction of the park. It
is estimated that between 75 and
125 boys will be eligible to play,
but only about 10 or 15 Daddys
have been regular in working to
finish the park.
The main thing that needs to
be done at the present is to finish
the fence and to build the conces
sion stand. Work goes on every
afternoon from around 4 p. m.
untill dark. If you can “swing” a
hammer you are cordially invited
to come down any afternoon and
help otit.
This is another community pro
ject which College Station is
famous for undertaking and we
feel that if the people know the
need that they will ‘pitch in” and
finish it up so that we can be
ready to go as soon as the season
gets underway. We are about two
weeks behind schedule so please
try to arrange to come down any
afternoon and give a hand to the
faithful few who are carrying the
load.
The site is lo.cated just, south of
the softball park in college Park,
just off Park Place street.
Sincerely,
Barney Welch,
College Station Little
