Operation Baseball, a sports program open to all neighborhood boys in the 13-16 age group, will be sponsored in this area this summer by the joint efforts of Women for City Living and the Y.M.C.A. Coaching and practice facilities have been arranged and professional directors assigned.
Plans are underway to have professional baseball players give an occasional assist at practices and Operation Baseball hopes to field teams in informal league play with other teams in the neighborhood. Announcements will be made throughout the neighborhood when the site for the headquarters location is settled.
Boys interested in the baseball program are asked to watch school and church bulletin boards and other neighborhood locations for posters a announcing the location of Operation Baseball headquarters and for registration procedures;
Women of the neighborhood interested in this, Operation Boy Help, or any of the programs of Women for City Living are urged to contact Women for City Living through the Women’s Crime Crusade, 1205 Olive Street.
