Yankees Name Knickerbocker Official Corps.
The New York Knickerbockers drum and bugle corps has been designated as the official one of the New York Yankees baseball team, announces Frederick J. Bachman, special projects director for the Yanks. The Knicks were to appear in the Stadium yesterday, to be presented with the New York Yankee flag.

The designation came as a result of an agreement between Michael Burke, president of the baseball organization , and Harvey Berish, general manager of the 110-members marching band and pageantry team. Then Knickerbockers also are " ambassadors of good will" for New York City.

The corps is one of two junior musical marching units housed in quarters at 2415 Westchester Ave., and is open to membership for youngsters aged 9 to 21.
