Little League Director Tells Stanton Members Purpose, Aims of Program STANTON—Joe Roberts, sectional (South-West States) director of Little League, held the attention of Stanton Little League members as he explained "What is Little League" and also conducted an informal discussion period as problems commonly encountered with "growing pains" were ironed out. Pointing up the many benefits derived by the community as well as the individual participant, Roberts said: "It would be impossible to measure accurately and completely the benefits of Little League baseball to the individual boy, the team on which he plays, the league to which he belongs, and the neighborhood where Little League baseball operates. There are far too many intangibles." List Intangible Benefits The objective of Little League Baseball, Inc., is to provide baseball for boys. Meticulous adherence to this aim undoubtedly is the reason for its popularity in thousands of communities. The boys participating in the game, the adults contributing their services and the fans rooting in the bleachers all get something out of Little League—and it's considerably more than just wholesome recreation. "The real benefits lie in intangibles which become evident as the program establishes itself in the community." "We find old-fashioned, grass-root Americanism becoming a dynamic force in the community and this applies to adults as well as boys." "So far as the boy is concerned, the application of the principles of Americanism is apparent from the fielding or pitching ability is the only yardstick." Eliminates Gangs "The formation of Little League teams as prescribed in our regulations helps to eliminate boyish gangs and cliques. Un-American traits, such as thinking that a fellow who attends another church is 'different' are greatly eliminated. Ideas that a youngster who comes from a different race is not a person with whom to associate will be corrected." "All these basic elements of Americanism are maintained thru' the close association the boys have on the baseball diamond. While playing together, the boys soon learn that their teammate is a pretty good fellow, no matter on which side of the railroad tracks he happens to live. "What more can a town want than the instilling of fine principles of sportsmanship, tolerance, and understanding in its youth? These essential qualities are brought to the community as one of the intangibles of Little League." Not A "Cure All" "Little League makes no pretense of being a "cure-all" for juvenile delinquency. We do find, however, that in communities where the program is established the boys behave and help make their towns better places in which to live. "All Little League teams are uniformed. The players take pride in the wearing of this uniform; they know that should they engage in malicious mischief, they would lose this privilege." "Of course, one of the benefits to the area in which a league operates is the fact that people who ordinarily would have a few joint incomes have a few joint incomes." Miss Elizabeth Dickerson, cipal of the Cypress Elementary School has announced that for the registration of kindergarteners for next year has been and the registration will be held at the school in the utility room morrow (Wednesday, May 26) at the hours of 9:30 to 11:00 and 1:40 to 3 p.m. This time has arranged for the convenience of parents.

"The real benefits lie in intangibles which become evident as the program establishes itself in the community. "We find old-fashioned, grass-root Americanism becoming a dynamic force in the community and this applies to adults as well as boys. "So far as the boy is concerned, the application of the principles of Americanism is apparent from the first call for candidates for the team. Youngsters from all walks of life, without regard to race or religion, report for practice with the common goal of making the team. The social or economic position of parents has no bearing in this competition. "As tears are formed in accordance with the prescribed auction system, the manager has but one thought, and that is "can a boy pitch field, run or bat?" Depending upon the size of the league's bounded area, the pool of candidates will include from 100 to 500 boys. "As the auction of this group progresses, we find teams composed of youngsters from every section of the league's area. These boys' interest in their teammates parallels that of the manager as batting." If It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin To San Francisco It's S.P.'s Coast Line for rail travel at its finest...
