Home
Run
Derby
Final plans have been made
for the Home Run Derby to be
held Sept. 26 from 9 a.m. until 1
p.m. in the Dallas Intermediate
field, the nearby parking lot,
and the Little League field,
Dallas. The event is being spon-
sored by the Dallas Borough
Recreation Committee and the
Dallas Kiwanis Club.
Members of the ‘recreation
committee met recently with
Jack Bradley, program director
of the Home Run Derby, at the
Dallas Intermediate field to test
equipment to be used at the
Derby. Applications are avail-
able at many Back Mountain
business establishments. En-
tries will be also be accepted at
the site of the Derby Saturday.
Boys and girls, age 8 to 15, are
eligible to compete. Pitching
machines, batting tees and
aluminum bats will be used.
According to Mr. Bradley, the
Home Run Derby came into
being this year after a lot of
thought and experimentation.
The idea was to get as many
youngsters as possible to com-
pete.
A short time after the Derby
started, officials added a bat-
ting tee so that six and seven
year olds could be included in
the competition. Officials of the
Derby hope that in addition to
their main objective ‘‘com-
pete,” they can stimulate inter-
est in baseball or sports in
general. Youngseters starting
competition at the age of six can
continue to compete in the
Derby for 10 years.
“The ultimate aim of the
Home Run Derby,” says Jack
Bradley, “is to have regional,
district, state and national
championships. Prizes will
eventually be $1000 scholar-
ships, blazers, jackets, bats,
balls, trophies, etc.”
Mr. Bradley said, ‘“We hope
to have more and more young-
sters competing each year.
Prizes will be awarded for
continuous participation, most
improvement, total best scores,
ete. District winners will meet
in major league parks and a na-
tional will be held at a place not
YePdetided > TRE
The machine which will be
used is, “a geared down’ ver-
sion of machines used in all
major league training camps.
The speeds vary as do the
scoring distances for different
age groups. It is challenging,
competitive and exciting. ‘“We
have attracted large crowds
wherever we wenf this year.
Parent turn out has been better
than expected,” said Mr.
Bradley. “The Derby has out-
drawn all other recreational
programs We are aware that
everyone is not a Mantle or
Ruth and so have set the scoring
So any hitter can win,” he con-
tinued. . “Home runs have been
plentiful. The aluminum bats
adds uniformity.”
The program to be held in
Dallas Saturday is the first to be
held in the area. Mr. Bradley
expresed the hope that others
will run the program next year
with regionals to be held in
Dallas.
Certificates and probably
trophies will be awarded at a
future Kiwanis meeting.
