recreational loop getting together to count blessings and figure out some method of balancing out both leagues One suggestion and the one attracting the most attention concerns system of bumping up couple of the stronger teams from one league while dropping down the weaker entries in the other League at the end of each season or some One thing is certainboth Palumbi and Gary Calvert president of the Major League would like to see change in They both would like to see something come about that would strengthen fastball in the city Last year the recreational league could boast of six reasonably strong teams two which sat in the middle and two real weak teams said Palumbi The Major league had two strong teams two in the middle and two weaker clubs It was only natural to have fastball fans picking and chosing their games Palumbi said Thursdays meeting would serve to in troduce the idea to the teams Theres another meeting in two weeks which probably will serve to determine how the league as unit thinks about suggested changes One problem the recreational league has is the senior and intermediate class ball players who want to play in its lalumbi The recreational lcaguc can boast of
