j GREENWOOD, S. C„ Aug. 3 —
I Greenwood's boys no longer climb
I trees or raise their voices in pro
j test at decisions of umpires of the
: Carolina baseball league as seen
I through knotholes in the fence. "The
| Keyhole Boys” have moved inside
! and now' do their protesting from
the first-base line.
Visions of the days when inability
to raise a quarter kept him ami his
friends from getting more than a
stolen glimpse of their favorite team
In action brought about formation
of the Knothole Boys Club" here by
Joel S. Bailey, president of the
, Greenwood Baseball Club and a
'member of the local Rotary Club.
As a result the Greenwood Rotary
| Club took up the plan as a part
1 of its boy's work program.
For the sum of to cents and pre
I sentatlon of a card issued when he
signs a pledge, any boy in Green
wood can join the club. The plan
Is to get every boy in town into the
baseball park and the results, it is
said, have been so good that the
! Rotary Club is planning to enlarge
the bleacher section assigned to the
boys.
The pledge the boys sign follows:
“I will attend Sunday School ev
ery Sunday, except In (ase of sick-:
ness. Y will not use curse words.!
I will not gamble. I will not lie.
1 will be honest. 1 will live a clean
life. I have^rejy}. or had read to
me, the above obligation and I will
promise that 1 will always try to
obey It."
Membership in the dub and at
tendance at the ball games does not
preclude the occasional visits to
"Grandma's out in the country,”
or frequent trips to the "old swim
min' hole.” For the Carolina league
teams play only on Mondays, Tues
days, Thursdays and Fridays.
