league since 1946. His official title is secretary treasurer, but Sunday afternoon Arnold was out raking, grading, and liming the field for the league's All Star game. Because of his devotion to baseball and the town's youth, the field has been named Arnold Field as a tribute to him. "The towns in the league supply 90 of the talent, with about 50 of these boys coming from the farms," explained Arnold. "Most of the boys are former Legion players of the towns," said Arnold.

"We run this league for the boys around the town who want to play baseball for fun." Of course, some top quality players enter the league from the larger cities, but, for the most part, the league does consist of local ballplayers. The local merchants buy the uniforms for the ballplayers who in turn become walking advertisements. Balls and bats are secured through gate receipts. Diamond upkeep, tickets, and other important duties are all non profit jobs handled by local towns people. Presently Staplehurst, Seward, Garland, Beaver Crossing, Utica, md York make up the league.

As many as 9 toher towns have been members at one time or another.

In basketball Coach Ed Johnson wove a talented group together, using Lebsack as the key performer although the Rockets did not nave a big boy. Northeast won the state title in the hotly disputed win over Omaha Tech in the finals. Dave was an excellent shooter and his free throws under extreme pressure in the Tech game decided the championship. By TIM GARTNER Seward Operating an amateur baseball league is precarious business.

Most leagues come and go within a couple of years. But for longevity, the Blue Valley League might be the champion in Nebraska. The league has been in operation now for around 28 years. The secret according to league president and head umpire Bud Rublee: "Not a single cent is paid to either players or managers. This is strictly amateur baseball." The league started after the first World War and has been going continuously since, except during the World War II years.
