i 56 Report of the Park and Recreation Commission To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and I� Citizens of the Town of Mashpee, Mass. It gives the Park & Recreation -Commissioners great pleasure to report that Mashpee entered three teams in the Cape Cod Kiwanis Tournament as they have yearly. They weren't able to get into the finals of the softball tournament games, but they did an excellent job. Coaches were Ronald Pocknett, Elmer W. Hendricks, Jr. and Larry E. Dove. For the first time in Mashpee's history we had a Little League Team which won four games and lost three. We feel that this was outstanding fora first year team that never played together before. The Little League Team was taken on a trip to Fenway Park in Boston to see the Red Sox play; also the treated at Y were d to an outing on Martha Vineyard s for a tour. At the end of the season a cookout in their honor was held at the town hall. The cookout, held on the ball field, was sponsored by the Recreation Commission and the Mashpee Rod and Gun Club. The Mashpee women had a soft ball team for the first time which was sponsored by the Mashpee Fire and Police Departments. All games were played in the Barnstable League. The Men's Softball Team came in second place in the Falmouth League for the second year in a row, and made the semi-finals in the soft ball tournament held at West Barnstable. We are pleased to report that the baseball field is almost completed except for a dugout and a chain link fence which we -are hoping will be installed this spring. We are most grateful for the layout of the baseball field which was done by Mr. Francisco Tavares of Falmouth. $2,308.00 was collected from parking fees at Attaquin Park Beach and South Cape Beaches.
