Armstrong TTTT TT T iniaiaes up Now known for certain why the the 26th was let go to pot. Vet Waterman-Jack Capri-John Friend combine couldn't see good business in putting on a village vuier ui ronuuia on vne , &i w Also, as guessed here a few days ago, shortage of fighters caused by the substituted Joe Kahut Sonny Walker, Nat Corum-Jo-ey Dolan doubleheader for the postponed Garrison - Ramirez scrap in Portland on the 27th made a 26th card here almost impossible. . "But that doesn't mean there won't be any more fights here, cautions Jones. "Now that we've got 'em started, we intend put ting on a card regularly." Fine! f And: here's hoping Chairman 1 Jones i isn't- merely talking through his Stetson. If he is. "Toreador? Pilcher says his Capital Posters are all set . ; I. O. PttCBEl ta take over the fistic promotional reins again. One way or the other, seems we'll have more punching parties. Would doubtlessly be best to have the Vets sponsor 'em since Wa terman and his flock seem to cater more to the Vets than to their close relations. That was proven on the Legion-sponsored Turner Black Cloud stinkeroo some weeks ago when the wrong kind of cooper ation from Portland had the thing buried before it even got started. ' ilr. Pilcher or Legion Baseball ' i Maybe it was the bonded bellywash or just the heat ever Baker way last week, bat speakinr af Pilcher, he came back treat the ; Legion convention all hepped up about Junior Legion baseball and vowed our villa-ers will no longer so without a Junior ball nine.- -Says Pilch in his usual superbly official way: "Capital Post No. 9 has decided to field a Junior Legion team next year. We really shouldn't have gone without one this year. "We're coin- to see how the kids take to this Brooklyn Dodger baseball school coming next month, and if there's the Interest la "L - the thing there shabld be, well sure as shoo tin have a team next summer. ' ' . ' "And by the way, (Ed's' note: This guy Mr. P never misses a ehance for a plug never) Capital Post urges every kid in town to turn out for the Dodger school." If He Says So, There'll Be a Team Perhaps a little untimely on that Legion team announcement, but one known fact about it. If Mr. P says the post will field a nine next summer, a nine will be fielded. Most anyLegionnaire will tell you his commander has a habit of getting things done in capital fashion. Since he paid off the post's mortgage and No. 1 headache, the boys are thinking of putting him up for mayor or president of something.. Offhand, they'd better make it mayor or something, as this guy Roose velt is a tough man to throw, even for Toreador. - Still untimely, but when the promised team does materialise Ethan Grant will probably be the coach again. Ethan, who eaa tell you the life history of every player who's even worn a Detroit Ti- -ger uniform, herded the local Legion kids in if 39-4e-4L Although - It never quite managed to get out of the state, the 114t nine missed the district championship by one run In three extra innings. That was when Lefty Clayton Patterson aeed the mound staff. Will Make Fouw ' Kids Happy, Anyway Patterson,incident ally, has now finished naval radio school at the U of Idaho and is taking advanced work in Washington, DC Although it's a long spell before the kids become baseball conscious again. It's nice to know even now that the town will again have a Legion team. There's really no competent reason why the kids -were denied their Legion and high school teams this year. And speaking of base ba Unconscious kids, we knew of at least four wholl bo tickled pink over the premise of more Legion ball. ,; Too have probably seen 'eaa, too, aa Heaven knows they don't miss a thing fights, wrestling shows,- ball game,-, etcw and are par ticularly stack on the diamond sport. They're the Valdes brothers Pete, Beet, Warren and Danny. If the lave and interest they have for baseball is ever equalled by ability, the DiMaggie brothers id-raters already. :.
