Little League Baseball, 1973. These sixteen black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using seven separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to the film roll from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images.
The images in group "a" show a little league play-off game. These images were captured on or around 7/5/1973. All of these images (19a-30a) show the game underway.
The images in group "b" show either the same play-off game seen in group "a," or a different game in the same play-off tournament. All of these images (19b-29b) show the game underway.
