Attention League Officials

It is the duty of league officials to carry out the day-by-day assignments that keep your teams playing under the finest conditions. There are, however, a few matters that come up only periodically that are of equal importance but because they are needed only occasionally you may tend to overlook them. We list these here as a reminder. Be sure your league considers these in the interest of your program.

1. Have you submitted player's names and credentials for possible selection for one of the Scholarship Awards?

2. Have you sent in to the Commissioner the names of graduates who are now in professional baseball or any who have made an outstanding record for themselves in other sports or endeavor?

3. Does your league have a permanent mailing address? This avoids important correspondence from becoming lost because the last known league contact no longer is connected with the league.
