and who performed various duties in that enterprise, which they called Golden Spike Little League. It was thus an unincorporated

little league baseball for the youngsters of that town. They applied for and received a charter from the national association,
Little League Baseball, Inc., which allowed them or organize and use the name of Golden Spike Little League.
