Por the relief and employment funds
of the Advisory Council and associated
local organizations, an "Old-Timers'
Baseball Game" has heen arranged,
to take place on the Sewickley YMCA
field next Wednesday evening, August
2nd, Beginning at 6:45 o'clock and lasting as many innings as daylight permits. For this game, the American
Bridge Company team of Amhridge,
which in the old days gave Sewickley
many a tough hattie and won a high
reputation against other strong base-
hall aggregations, is to play a Sewickley team which will include as many
as possible of our own former stars, as
well as some of the present fast-going
YMCA team. And the game will he
honored hy the presence of at least half
a dozen of this year's Pittsburgh
National League players — just which
ones we're not sure; they will prohahly
do a little exhibition work on the field,
and perhaps act as ofiicials at the game.
A small admission charge is to he
made, the Board of Trade, Kiwanis
Club and Boy Scouts cooperating in
seeing that everybody gets a chance
to buy a ticket, and it is hoped to
realize a nice sum to afford additional
work or assistance to the Sewickley
district's unfortunate or unemployed.
After all, something of the sort really
has to be done; and the idea of this
old-timers' game has proved instantly
popular wherever it has been mentioned.
It should be full of interest and fun
for all.
A representative committee is in
charge of the affair, with Reynolds D.
Ritchey as chairman, Benjamin Handy,
W. B. Mullan, Frank Hegner, John 0.
Hiteshew, J. C. Doughty and Francis
C. Foote. Others will probably be
added.    The Boy Scouts have volun
teered to distribute circulars, and the
Cochran Hose Company will assist in
policing the field and help in other
ways. The Kiwanis and Board of Trade
members are cooperating in issuing a
souvenir score card, and in many ways
helping the enterprise along. As President Roosevelt says, there is wonderful
power in a united effort; and it looks
as though the baseball game will represent a movement truly enlisting the
cooperation of the whole community.
And it certainly will be too good for
anyone to miss! Next Wednesday twilight at the "Y" Field.
