The

charges, is on file with the Commissioner.
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.
