Practice in the park Bill Batt nice he prefers Ray Woods, a student at San Bernardino Valley College, said when the weather to practice his guitar in Lilac Hark. By CONNIE RUTH Sun-Telegram SlaH Writer RIALTO At long last, the Rialto Girl's Softball League will have a place to call home.

Weather permitting, grading of a portion of Frisbie Park is scheduled this week in preparation for the layout of three Softball fields. Bill Batt, league president for three years, said the league has used school facilities since its incorporation 18 years ago. And, while the league has appreciated the use of those facilities, Batt said, there have problems, problems he hopes will be eliminated at the new site. The league has used the Bemis School ballfields for the last five or six years. "There's been no parking space there, except for the street and there are a lot of cars and a lot of kids.

Parents come down and drop their kids off because there's no parking spaces," he said. "It's rough." Batt said Bemis is in a residential area and neighbors complain about the bright lights, noise and trash left In their yards by spectators. The league has been looking for property for ballfields for three years, he said, and last year learned the city had some park land available at the southwest corner of Eucalyptus and Easton avenues In Frisbie Park. Jack Simonson, recreation and park services director, said the area was planned for development as a city park "but we didn't have the money to develop it and it would probably be several years before we would be able to." So, Simonson said, the city agreed to use the property for softball fields and to provide a portion of the money needed to develop the fields. The city has received a $20,000 grant through Senate Bill 174, Urban Open Spaces Grant.

But, Simonson said, the city has to match 25 per cent of the federal funds and this may include donations and volunteer services. Simonson said league volunteers have agreed to help city crews ith the grading of the land He said the grant money will be used to pay for installation of a sprinkler system, estimated to cost about $15,000, and to extend water lines and install meters and backflow devices, estimated at about $5,000. with city crews doing the work. Redevelopment "Good Miat Maka a tttal Bitter" 1 Survey areas to get more study by panel LARGE FRESH irons "Unless we come up with some big donations," he said, "we may have to plan minimal fields this year and add on as money becomes available." Batt is a night stock clerk for Stater Brothers Markets, where he has worked 13 years. A friend introduced him to the girl's softball league, he said.

"And once I got involved with It, it was hard to get uninvolved," the 33-year-old bachelor said. Batt said he first managed a Junior team in 1971, then went on to managing senior teams the next six years. He was elected vice president the first year he served on the board, he said, and was elected president the year after that and re-elected the next two years. Batt said many of the girls who played on the league have returned to serve on the board or as managers and umpires. "Usually, it's hard to get managers for the Junior and pee-wee teams, but this year there's been an enthusiastic response," he said.

Batt said the senior teams have been undefeated in tournament play the last month would be sufficient. The commissioners also voted to have Elliot begin taking the pictures that will be necessary for showing redevelopment needs. Elliot said, "The pictures are used to show exactly what exists now and what we don't want the city to be like." In further action the commission elected Dick Holland as vice chairman. The next meeting will be Feb. 16 at p.m.
