Junior Ball Kids: Here's th Schedule
K, Stricaly because you're wearing us out asking for copies of the
junior ball league schedule, following is a reprint of same taken from
last Wednesday's Statesman. Last named team is the home team in thev
first half with first named teams the home clubs in the second round.
Voull notice also that no team plays all its games at the same time of
day and all teams will be the "home" clubs seven times during the
season. Credit Bob Keuscher with a job well done, for working out
one of these things so that no team will feel slighted Is quite a task:
(Starting with next Sunday, and note the new starting times
ruled in this week): June 11-July 30: 12 o'clock, Curly's at Eagles
2 o'clock, Funland at Lions; 4 o'clock, Redwood at Mayflower Milk;

Our Leo a Nasty Man to Beavers?
). What's cookin with Leo Edwards, or, our man 'Frisco continues
to make the headlines: And because of it, Portland's amazing Beavers
probably don't think much of the man In blue from our village any
more. .
jV Happened in Hollywood, the one place where most anything is
apt to and generally does happen, and since it came to pass in that
land of make believe the baseball word slingers of the town have
vowed to give Manager Marv Owen and his astralites the "silent
treatment" when next they come to town. Ancient Sid Cohen was
coaching at third in the Sunday double bill, 11,000 assorted movie
queens, hams and citizens were in the stands and Portland was
having a bad time. A covey of photographers, anxious to depict the
Portlanders biting the dust, invaded the sideline between Cohen and
the batter. Since Cohen became practically screened from the ball
game (so' the accounts say), he bellered at our 'Frisco for help. All
he got from our man was a frigid shrug. At this Manager Marv Owen
bounded from the dugout and charged at Ray Snyder, 'Frisco's pal
behind the dish. But the manager soon Joined Cohen in the strictly
squelched bin as the 11,000 hooted and the photogs dug in deeper.
