MOUNT JOY, PENNA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1971 TEN CENTS There must have been at least 20 of them! Big kids, little kids, fat kids, skinny kids, boy kids and girl kids — they were having a wonderful time playing baseball. But, it was as strange a game as you've ever seen, For one thing, there was no diamond. The field wasn’t even level. It tilted rather sharply and a loose ball roll- ed quickly into the nearby woods and the poison ivy. This unkikely gang of hap- py youngsters didn’t even ‘have a baseball. They were using a softball of some kind which only resembled a base- ball. Only one kid—the catch- er—had a mit. And, who needs a baseball bat to play baseball? Not this gang. The pitcher lobbed up the ball and the batter batted bare-armed with his arm. It was not very scientific, but, like I said, having a wonderful time. squealing, yelling, . running, sometimes arguing, and dash- ing about, they charged up and down the hill. Almost any kind of a hit was worth two almost non- existent bases. But everyone seemed to recognize that some undefined area was a safe place to rest while the next batter bared his arm and had his turn. Home plate, too, was loose- ly defined and kept moving as the game progressed. And, as home moved, so did first, second and third. But, it was a merry affair. The boys seemed to master the game ‘better than the girls, but with long hair fiy- ing, the fairer sex added a zest to the competition which spurred the lads to vicious swings of their arms. An exuberant swing which spun the batter to the ground was cause for tremendous hurrahs as his friends guffaw- ed. There were two teams, but it wasn't the boys versus the girls or the bigs against the littles. Everyone played, ev- eryone went to bat, swinging until he got a good hit. It was fun and there was no denying that all hands were enjoying the sport. The game broke up after the ball disappeared into the woods on the downhill side of the playing area. Three or four kids kept searching through the ivy and weeds and finally found it but by that time it was beginning to be dusk. : Bezides, all hands had had a wonderful time of good fun and there were other things to be done. When next I saw this mot- ley gang of kids, about an hour later, they were dressed in costume, faces made up, forming part of the mob scene depicting the. triumph- al entry of Jesus Christ into the City of Jerusalem. Ass members of the cast of the Passion Play, they waved palm branches with the same lusty vigor with which they had played improvised base- ball on the hillside, one shouted hozannas with the same childish enthusiasm they had given their sport. Well—kids are to have fun and kids are to improvise. But, mostly, kids like to ies. participate. \ A few days ago lightning struck the bell tower on the Friendship Fire company house and knocked several - pieces of slate off the roof. ® ® © You've heard it said that “lightning never strikes twice (Turn to page 16) they were.
