Alderman George Short, a member of the park board, said the price would be $30,000 or about $850 per acre. Short also said that preliminary drawings show that four ball fields and four soccer fields could be built in that space.

They won four straight games Saturday before losing to Tracy of Springfield on Sunday. Dirks of Kansas City came up through the loser’s bracket to give Scoreboard its second loss and the third place finish.
