Softball is. fun. And
for a few people on the
North’ Shore, it’s also
an alternative to
baseball - or hardball.

It's that alternative that’s
the reason Tom Tippen and
Jack Hubbard are forming a
Minor’ Softball program to
operate on the North Shore-
next spring. | °

The pair, who are also
involved in the North Shore
recreational softball league,
both have backgrounds. that
included softball,” and -both
are active in the game at a
recreational level.

While they are not taking

any shots at baseball .in the. .

minor sports program, they
do think it’s time for an
alternative program for the
youngster who either doesn't
have the skill for hardball, or
who would prefer the pace
of the larger ball game.
