Mr. Avery stated that he would prefer Mr. Tom Morgan giving the presentation as he is the District Director for Pony Baseball, Inc., and is in charge of all the Pony operations between San Luis Obispo County and Los Angeles County. He further stated that the Pony League would like to have the district play-offs in Baldwin Park on the new diamond; that the District play-offs would comprise seven counties as far east as Ontario and Upland to all of Los Angeles, Kern, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo. and Santa Maria Counties. The best team from each of the participating counties would come here to Baldwin Park and play a double- elimination tournament, with the best team from this tournament then going to Santa Monica for the regional play-offs. It was their feeling that because this is such a tremendous project it would bring an attendance of 10,000... possibly 20,000 people to the City within the 4-5 day period that it takes to run the play-offs. Mr. Avery further elab- orated on what they had accomplished to date, physically, and also what had been achieved through their subscription efforts. Mr. Tom Morgan stated that their needs, if the play-offs were held here, would be that the requirements of the host City include being able to guarantee that they are financi- ally able to sponsor the tournament; that the Pony League is comprised of boys 13-14 years of age, having graduated from the Little League; an adequate field; bleachers that would take care of approximately 2,000 people at a game; a controlled gate; adequate housing for 8 teams, plus the manager and coach; and lights for night games. He further stated that we are the largest district, in number of teams, in the United States; that there would be the best 8 leagues out of approximately 80 leagues in the District; that the play-offs would be held about the 28th of July this year; that housing and food for the boys is usually donated; that $5,000.00 would be the very most that would be needed to justify this program, and that any monies received from the City would be replaced by the League through the program; that there was a good possiblity of the television stations in this area televising this free, in lieu of having to secure a sponsor; that the City of Irwindale has co-operated greatly, along with many private businesses. Considerable discussion followed wherein it was the general consensus of opinion that serious consideration should be given this program, and that it would be taken under study and advisement of the City Attorney, with a decision being rendered at a later date. 00- MARCH 24, 1960 ROLL CALL C.A.O.
