As I understand it, back in the day Washington had a pro-baseball team called the Buds..and Pop Barklage played on the team. He continued to be very active in baseball needs for the city for many years to follow.

Re-Dedicated Summer 2007

"Each year Washington Lions sponsor a boys little league team and a girls little league team. When the Pop Warner football league needed pads for the goal posts and other equipment the Washington Lions provided the funds for those needs. Lions contributed $10,000 to a new concession stand and restroom for Barklage Field in 2008 and contributed again for the electronic scoreboard. In 2009 they also contributed for a storage facility and walkway for the football field." ~ About - Washington Lions
