For tneir service they, the sponsors, gel their names on Ihe backs of a group of kids running around bases and chasing baseballs. At least tour parties profit from the sponsor arrangement: . v The Recreation departments, the sponsoring merchants, the kids on the playing field and the grateful parents in the bleacher's. In Clearfield, local leaders of Hie LPtie league Association handle the niceties of sponsors. Through the lecreation department, they solicit for sponsoring merchants and purchase uniforms as needl'd in the league. Recreation Department leaders in Clearfield discourage diessing minor leaguers m uniform. "II give's youngsters an added incentive; they claim, to improve skills and prepare for the big . leagues Clearfield has four major league teams, and as many senior teams in sparkling uniforms. The sponsors are required to pay a maintenance fee of approximately $25 per year to maintain the uniforms and pay for any losses.

Players from next year's varsity and junior varsity teams met at Roy High gy mnasium for a series of scrimmages. There were no officials, no ofltcial coaches and the players, themselves, kept score. Free substitution was practiced on both sides, m the rather-ruggegame. All fouls were admitted on a Gentlemen's d Agreement and basis, there were plenty. The scrimage gave coaches Craig Hansen and Ted Smith a chance to watch next year's players perform wider fire, and look for winning combinations. Clearfield won two of the series-of-te- n baskets, but there were moments of brilliance on both sides. It was an informal game, and the outcome was meaningless, but those Falcons and Cougars played with a lot of intensity. Already both sides are w ailing for the opening tip of the 1978-7- 9 season, and so are the coaches. senior league of the program established Coach Hicks would rather the boys participate at their own level, for more playing time, and the Little League rules prohibit young men playing on more than one team. Clearfield Recreation is sponsor of the Babe Ruth team and Is obligated to make the team available to any 8 year old who wants to try oat for the team. So, if a senior wants to play, it is his right. Sunset City is sponsoring a Babe Ruth team, on the tame order of Clearfield. Coach at Sunset is Chuck Vernon, who has two sons on the team. The Sunset team will include all of Sunset, Clinton and at least part of West Point. The Babe Ruth teams will participate with 12 teams from Clearfield north to Smithfield, The teams will play each Monday and Thursday starting today. Winner of the legue earns the right to a trip to Southern California to play in the Western Regionals of the Babe Ruth League. The following young men are scheduled to play on the Sunset team: last year's sophomores, Dean Vernon, Louis Cain and Mike Lobato. Last years juniors suiting up are Mike Arrant, Brad Muir, Greg Vernon, Greg Decker, Steve Beal, Larry Dugger, Larry Read and Jeff Dauma, On the Clearfield roster, there will be sophomores Simon Perez, Danny Perkins, Todd Gibbs, Jack Hubble, Dion Campos, Scott Frew, Brook Hicks and Doug Talbot. Juniors on the team include Doug Hamblin, Roger Vincent, A1 Garcia, and Phil G Gardener, Clearfield home games will be played on Falcon Field. Sunset's home games are scheduled at Sunset Junior High School. All games will be played Mondays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. Clearfield entertains Ogden today at Falcon Field.
