and puts the orders out for bid. The

It gets more people involved, and
has created better understanding
among the volunteers as to what is
being done, according to him. He
believes there is more cooperation
among the managers and most
important, under the present struc-
ture, much less money is being
spent.
The league now has umpire and
managers clinics and this year,
coaches and managers clinics are
offered at King’s College and at
Dallas Junior High School.
