And many more, all ' aimed, fired and scored on us already, and the first announcement of the Junior Legion team play er .selection only . yesterday. So, if you don't mind, well' devote ' this space to answering ques- tions and ofering alibis. Inciden- tally, we now know why Ethan Grant, formerly the Junior team ..coach, included four bromos and . - two cans of aspirin in his daily diet ' i: I First, the Legion team itself. At the beginning of the town's Junior baseball revival, it was planned to work toward an even tual diamond representative for the city in state Junior Ameri can Legion play. Legion teams players were to be selected from the proposed Sunday Junior league, "ail-stars' so to speak. It was known that no matter who was picked or how many, Salem "would 'doubtlessly finish as also 'ran in state Legion play simply because -the village kids aren't up on tneir oaseDaii ahcs as are others throughout the state and therefore couldn't be expected , to compete on a similar plane with them. 'Two or three years from now, perhaps, but not this year. There's much more to the nation's favorite pastime than, the ability to hit or pitch fast ball or curve. Fundamentals which should be learned when the player wades through bis earlier school years canot be taught in a season or two after the player reaches his middle 'teens. But it was decided to . field a Legion team regardless, and with a hope that enough play ers could be found who might by. chance know enough baseball .fundamentals to get by. Meanwhile the Sunday league was to tunc- . tion and eight coaches were to both teach and guide the circuit's players. , Politics9 Didn't Prompt Selections - ,. . Let it be said, right here and now that-not enough baseball . wise kids have been found to insure a topflight Legion representa tive for the village. True, natural prospects have been uncovered in places, but their knowledge of baseball innards is frightfully lacking. : As for the selection of some players and the apparent ignoring of others, we offer the alibi, if you will, that time is short, too short. The Legion team must not only begin operations as a unit this month, but must have the county championship between itself and Wood burn decided not later than June 30. The j Sunday league has been in operation only two games, OuFSwas the at first unwanted task 'of picking 15 players from the latter league to represent the Legion. ' We know that selecting the 15 "best players" in such a short time "is an impossibility, but it had to be done! So we picked what we 'thought were the 21 best and must eventually cut that down 'to the 15 before meeting Woodburn in possibly a two-qut-krf-three series ' to be finished hot later than June 30. Chances are we might havti : done better had - we selected 'em blindfolded, but we think not. No "politics" were involved in any way, you may be certain. - "' V i 1 I JV Interference .With .Sunday Loop. Intended As it became apparent that taking the cream of the Sunday ' leaguers off the Junior clubs would prove disastrous to the entire , circuit, it was decided that the Legion team schedule should be if at all possible made up so that players might return to action with respective nines; on Sundays. It is now more important to keep the ' Sunday league operating at full strength than it is to dote on 15 .players, especially after seeing how little the majority of the 300 ' odd signees know about the sport. With the possible exception of two "or three . games, and perhaps less. Legion Team Manager Ira Pilcher will schedule only weekday tilts i for the Capital Posters. Created not as a spectator sport, but for the good it will stimulate amongst the 'teen-aged kids, it makes no (difference whether a Le gion game is played Sunday at 2:30 p. m., or) Monday at 2:30 p. m. - J As for the selection of the Legion team coach, there's a man power shortage.: Or hadn't you heard? j " ; '1 , .
