Sports: Pennsylvania, Little League Baseball The World Series of the Little League. In thrilling final game, the Connecticut Sluggers, aided by pitcher Andy Wasil, win a 3-0 shut-out victory over Texas. Cute shot: 1950s moms sitting on bleachers rise to their feet, cheering, holding a sign that says Texas. Fans of the Connecticut team cheer. Young boys sign autographs for admirers, warm up. The two pitchers - apparently Andy Wasil and Lester Kitchen (?) - shake hands. VS game in progress, pitchers pitching, batters hitting. Home run, and the players celebrate as Andy touches home plate. Andy (?) gets a kiss from a girl; pre-teen love, young love, idol-worship.
