and are today, a wonderful place
for a youngster to start the com­
petition of life in a good, clean,
healthy, active frame of mind. It
is not necessary to be a constant
winner, but to learn the value of
honest competition and how to
produce as a team, with a team.
This ball club was organized to
provide Nisei girls with the op­
portunity to participate in sports
as a team, and to learn all of the
values connected with such a
sport.
The enthusiastic young men are
still operating the club for the
benefit of all Nisei girls interest­
ed in playing softball and for the
purpose of providing a source of
entertainment for all interested
friends and fans.
