The fourth is the main diamond and has a well manicured grass infield. The outfield fence is 320 feet from home down the foul lines and 350 feet to center.
The main diamond has a scoreboard that was installed in June after the Breakfast Optimists, American Legion and other service clubs donated the purchase price for
The four home plates are toward the center of the complex around a building with restrooms, a concession stand, utility stalls and storage for maintenance equipment.
The fields don't form a circle. Instead, two are slightly staggered from the other to make four boll balls less of a hazard when players are on an adjacent field. DeVictor players are on the right side for players and especially spectators to be alert when someone yells, "head up."
if the planning could be done over, he and he would recommend a much larger heir.
DeVictor said that studies were made of similar facilities in Leavenworth and Manhattan before final plans were made for the Holcom complex.
"STORAGE OUT THERE has already become a problem. DeVictor added, adding the following to his script:
Nick Michael, Prairie Village junior, is one of three maintenance men hired for the summer to care for the city's ball diamonds.
He said his primary duties were to drag the infields and chalk the diamonds at Holcom every day. The three men are also responsible for maintaining seven other city diamonds, the Lion's Park in northward to Broken Arrow Park at 29th and Louisiana streets.
Behind each pitchers mound is an outlet to which a sprinkler may be attached to water the infields. There is also a booster numt to increase the area the water covers.
Michale agreed that storage space at Holcom was inadequate, but he said that the fields and the sprinkling system beneath them were very good.
Michale said he sprinkled the fields every other day during hot, dry weather.
Michele said he supervised one evening and only had to turn lights on and off and
**DEVICIOR SAID THERE** was a game field each exponent during the ball game.
"It was the fifth of July and I expected
that they would cut-and-uging like that," Michele said.
He said he was surprised at everyone's good behavior.
After working all day, Michale coached a little league team in the evenings. He said he found it rewarding to coach the boys on having fun and letting everyone play.
The main activities at Holcom are the junior and senior Babe Ruth league games. The senior level is for boys 16 to 18 years of age, and the junior level is for girls 10 to 12 years of age team teams and the American Leion team.
Boys from 13 to 15 years old compete in the junior Babe Ruth program, which is actually two affiliated leagues, according to Kathvone Fode. league commissioner.
She said two or five University students had been recruited to fill that need.
Fode said the Holcom League is the major league, consisting of seven teams. Each team has a minor league affiliate in the Hokk League.
MOST COACHES IN THE Holom league have been in the program for many years, she said, but there was some trouble getting enough coaches for the Houk League.
One of the students was John Connors, who had played in the No. 19 team. Elks of the Houk League, Connors, who said he had coached 10- and 11-year-olds in the little league in 1974, said he enjoyed the opportunity to play for Connors.
He said the little leaguers were allowed to play on the Holcom fields once a year, and it was easy.
Although the Holcom complex was built primarily for youth baseball programs, one of its greatest accomplishments was the
Slo-pitch softball is a relatively new game but it is growing radially in nonuniform.
Deflector said when he came to Lawrence five years ago there were fewer than 30 sloppy teams organized. This summer there are teams registered with the city recreation board.
"THAT HAS TO BE at least 5 per cent in the latest figure." DeVictor writes.
Among the dozen slop-pitch leagues are three for various ages of women. The leagues require five ball diamonds full-time during the summer.
He said many people used the fields in the spring but not the ones we usually fertilized them. We've been in the fall
THE KANSAS STATE Men's Slo-Pitch Championships at Holcom Complex August 14-17. This was the first major championship in which he said there would possibly be more major events. He said the tournament would depend on whether local financial backing exists or the consideration of certain groups to consider using the Holcom Sports Complex for a tournament.
Arts center a new city experience
By JENIFER OTWELL
The Lawrence Arts Center and the Wichita Art Association are the only two community art centers in Kansas that employ a full-time community art administrator, Ann Evans, director of the Lawrence Arts Center. has said.
The center, in the old city gallery at 6th and Vernett, has an art gallery, a permanent museum, and a library.
CLASSES HAVE BEEN OFFERED in drawing, painting, acting, stitchwork and needlework.
More classes will be offered for adults this fall. Evans said, including more painting classes.
The central location of the building made it ideal for a community center, she said.
"We want the building to be as much of a "people building as possible. Evans said, I think."

Local artists were represented in the first annual painting exhibit in April, and two exhibitions were held in May.
An administrative grant and a program grant for next year have been received from the Kansas Art Commission. The administrative grant will be used for salaries, Evans said. The program grant will be used for informative literature for the gallery, a creative dance program, next year's summer theater and the Seem-to-Be
The Lawrence Arts Commission, a nine-member board appointed by the City commission, has appointed a board of directors to govern the center. It consists of two commissioners and seven Lawrence citizens who are interested in art.
PLANNING FOR THE CENTER, which opened in April, began more than two years ago. Marlyn F. Brown, then president of the Lawrence Art Guild, said that meeting in Lawrence her care awarer the need for a center for community art activities.
Next year a new exhibit will be shown each month, Evans said. There will be an open painting show exhibiting work by community artists, and two shows by KU staff. The exhibition of historic quilts owned by Douglas County families will open in September.
