(a m 3 TWO Legion Juniors To Have Tough Battle Sunday " The Roseburg Legion Juniors will play u double-header here , Sunday against Ihe Albany Jun to to determine Ihe team to go Into Ihe stale finals. The Rose burg Juniors are down one game out ot the three-same series, hav ing been beaten at Albany last Stripy by. the cliwe geore of 3 to 2. The local team has shown an ability to meet emergencies and has at various times during the season pulled out of tough spots when the pressure was on. They will be facing such a situation Sunday, when they must win both games If they are to stay In the race for the championship. . Fans who have followed Amcri- , can Legion Junior baseball for ! the years it has been sponsored ''. by the local Legion post, agree I i that this year's team is one of the ; best to be turned out In many . seasons. It Is badly handicapped, ' however, by a lack of opportunity for practice, and as a result the team's performance has been or , ratio and below the possibilities . of which the players are capable. ' Nearly all of the team members ! have summer jobs, making It Im ' possible for them to practice regu I larly, particularly so because they I ore so widely scattered, some ' coming from Yoncalla and others 1 from Myrtle Creek. There have been few practices this season ' when all of the players were i present. .As a result of this con J dltion there has been numerous ! errors and pitchers have not been in the best form. PoHernnrdi, ' who started out as the team's nee hurler, has failed to perform in ' the last, two names because of a sore arm resulting from a lack of Workouts. The team also has Jommltted a number of costly er r"rors In throwing bases, a condl ; tion frequently resulting from lack of practice together. i Sunday, the players will be up 1 against a complete Infield shift, ,' due to the loss of Melvln Baker, ' regular second baseman, who suf ; fered a serious hand Injury. . Coach Parks reported that Cox, regular first baseman, probably '. will be moved to third base; Shapro will go from third to sec- ond and DeBernardl to first. In , the event DeBernardl Is able to pitch, Blgelow, one of the regit '. lar pitchers, who has had expert- enco at second, probably will re ' place Haker. , Tin? infield shift, Couch Parks ' slates, will be worked out at prac I tlces at 4 p. m. Wednesday and 2 H. m. Saturday, in the event all of "Ihe players can be present. 'He is urging Ihe team members to turn out for practice, particularly In order .that the combination may be tested.
