U. S. and Cuban Christian youth groups play baseball

HAVANA, August 29 (Edel José García, CNP) U. S. and Cuban Christian youth groups staged two baseball games in Santa Clara city, central Cuba, in spite of a lack of cooperation by the government in organizing the games.

The provincial government, following orders of the Interior Ministry, refused the teams the use of the sports fields in the area. After some uncertainty, the games were played at a field belonging to the agricultural cooperative "Juan Francisco Aro." Hundreds of local residents watched the games.

The games were sponsored by evangelical churches in central Cuba. The members of the U. S. team were said to have come from Florida and Birmingham.
