Sometimes the magic works
sometimes it doesn’t.
w ell, as you may have noticed, the magic
doesn t seem to be working, lately The promised
big 20 page issue for August is s t ill only 16
pages it seems the Coast Range Association had
some financial p rio rity problems It is not
unusual for the magic not to work In Baseball if
things go rig ht less than a th ird of the time
batting, you've got a job in "The Show' Life,
unlike television, is not problem, resolution,
laugh track, every 27 minutes We are s t ill
rookies in the Newspaper business, and though
we are trying to hit for distance as w ell as
average, sometimes it seems we keep h ittin g the
ground from inside fastbalIs
We seem to need more magic We know we
can t raise the price of ads, we lower them more
often than not. and more than half are free We
can't raise the subscription price, over half of
them are complimentary anyway We can t charge
for the paper, it would cost more to collect the
money than we would collect So, here is the
plan 100 F r ie n d s of t h e E d g e Twice a
year, on Halloween and Valentine's Day you send
$ ,0 to the Edge No, it isn't tax deductible
Maybe we w ill print your names, if you really
want us to Or we ll send you a personal souvenir
or something from the Edge, maybe we II make
T -sh irts (ju s t what we need, B illy, more
T -s h irts ) Okay, so that's not the point, the point
is keeping the paper alive, and healthy
We have had folks from Portland, Astoria,
Tillamook, Eugene, say they pick up the paper
regularly at the local book store or cafe/tavern,
so they don't need a subscription, and they don t
have a business to advertise, but they would like
to support the Edge Here is your chance1" Write
a check for a double sawbuck, or slip a crisp
Hamilton in an envelope, and m ail it to I he
Upper I e f t I dge, Box 1222 Cannon Beach. Or
971 10, and the Rev B illy Lloyd Hults w ill say a
special prayer for you as he takes his evening
communion at B ill s Buhhda Bless'

As I w rite this, the World Cup spectacle has
just ended, the Great Soccer Show» ase to prove
to the huge American TV market that this sport
had the mass appeal to warrant a mass contract
And soccer shot its e lf in the foot
Ninety minutes of general m illin g around was
displayed in all of its mundane glory for all to
despise It s a te r r ific baby-sitter for your
seven-year old in a Municipal League For Kids
Afraid of Hardballs, but let's face it. America
was built by people using their hands Soccer is
not a job for a grown man
Mothers, buy your kid a glove Fathers, take
some grounders You owe it to th is magnificent
country of ours it s your task to take L ittle
League back from the psycho parents and return
it to the children Play catch w ith them, show
them the art of T-ball
This is my last column Today I noticed that
this obligation was intruding on a walk on the
beach w ith my woman I Thank B illy for this
opportunity, I thank the many w rite rs and MLB
for my sources, but most of all I thank you, for
your letters and on-street comments
Please, just remember, this Game belongs to
you. and no one else Baseball belongs to Major
League Baseball. Incorporated, about as much as
the United States Constitution belongs to B ill
Clinton or Bob Dole
Protect it or it w ill disappear
Stick a forkball in me, I'm done

Ed NO, NO, a tbousend times MO' Po you feel es we do, like we
should close our eyes and cross our fingers arid say ’ I do believe
in Mr Baseball, I do believe in Mr Baseball*? The despair
M ept in with word of the strike getting worse daily Can we
blame Mr Baseball for wanting to walk off to the beach? Mo
Can we beg and grovel? You b e t"' Can we trg b rib ery? Sure1
Although your Beloved Editor is in no position to pag anyone
nearly what they are worth, you baseball folks out there could
"just do i t ' © Go ahead, you guys sitting at the local tavern who
read Mr Baseball every month and try to beat the quiz (ever do
it ? ) , stuff a wad of bills in an envelope, mail it to Mr Baseball
Box 4 42 Manzanita, Or 971 30 It may not bring him back, it
certainly won t stop a strike, but It w ill show someone who has
given us hours of pleasure arid a better appreciation of the gone
that we do appreciate his effort, his skills, and his respect for
what w ill always be America's game, baseball
