Scope and content
Roy P. Archer is ready to step up to the plate once again as volunteer president of the Tacoma City Baseball League. Mr. Archer, the owner and proprietor of Archer's Candy Store at 3817 So. Yakima, was also a devoted fan of sandlot baseball. The Tacoma City Baseball League had been in operation for 30 years. No admission was charged for the games, rivalry between teams was intense and fans were numerous. At this time, all of America turned out on spring and summer evenings to watch or play baseball. In Tacoma, teams were supported by Cammarano Brothers, Model Lumber Co., Superior Dairy, Johnson Paint, Olympic Ice Cream and Weisfield & Goldberg Jewelers. Young men started out with a team and continued to play until they were too old to compete. It was America's favorite pastime. (T. Times 4/30/1938, p. 11).
