WEST of the City Limits with Ron Levitt

BASEBALL TIME: Boys from 7 to 17 in the Southwest area once again are ready for baseball! The 1962 Tropical Park Khoury League is ready to get underway. Any boy whose eighth through 17th birthday falls during 1962 is eligible to play. Executives of the League will hold registration the last two Saturdays in January, Jan. 20 and Jan. 27, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. both days. It will be held at the Field House at Tropical Park baseball diamond. Each registrant must be accompanied by a parent and must show proof of date of birth. Khoury League baseball is a program that enables every boy who wants to play baseball to play. Every boy plays in every one of his team's games; no boy is ever cut from a team because of lack of ability. Executives of the Tropical Park League are parents in the area, including L. W. Le Grand, president; Al Harp, commissioner; Marty Bomse, vice president; Bud Dawson, secretary; Everett Rosenstein, treasurer. Committee heads are Phil Zelman, Al Trifone, Bob Rondeau and Gordon Einhorn. Harry Polofsky is the league's business manager. TENNIS, TOO! - The first Pro-Am Tennis Tourney to be held at the championship courts at the new Westbrooke Country Club, 8500 On The Trail, is slated for noon Sunday. Host Pro Bill Doeg will have Al Harum (Coral Gables C.C.); Steve Toth (Indian Creek); Ralph Zeach (La Gorce); Jack Cook (Salvatore Park) and George Peno, Gardnar Malloy and Bob Stubbs on hand for the tourney. By the way, the plush new Westbrooke club officially opens its facilities to members on Jan. 22 and will have its first membership dinner-dance on Sat. Feb. 3. The club - a family recreation and social facility - features the largest pool ever built in Florida, and club executives are already making plans to bring some national swimming and diving meets to this area. Club developers Sheldon Kay, Harold Pomerantz and Morris Fox are also allowing high school swim teams in the area - who do not have pools of their own - to use the "Big W" pool at the club for practice. First school to take up the generous offer was the Palmetto High swimmers. ODDS AND ENDS: In addition to the Flagler Branch of the Miami Public Library mentioned in an earlier column as a "close" spot for suburban readers to go (51st and Flagler), there's also the South Miami Branch at 6130 Sunset Dr. The Librarian's name there is Mrs. Madeline G. Durrance ... Mrs. John Whitehead, teacher at West Miami Junior High and a Southwest resident, has been named president of the University of Miami Home Economics Alumni Assn. ...
