Salem Ball Loops Should Benefit Salem Kids
How come Salem's Junior baseball leagues will be closed this year
to outside talent from Turner, Gervais, Woodburn, Silverton, Dallas,
etc., you ask? Unofficially, because the Salem Junior baseball leagues
are for Salem kids. To elaborate there is hardly room enough to take
care of the interested home-town-;
ers and, since it is a city project,
the city's kids should come first.
More than a few have offered
protests against the Salem-only de
cision rendered during the last
league meeting, explaining that
underprivileged kids in the outly
ing districts have as much right to
play in the league as . have the
home town kids. Mebbe so. But
when you consider that probably
all these out-of-towners are prod
ucts of their various school varsity
teams and are long on experience
as. junior baseballers go, they
should not be allowed entry in the
Salem leagues. The leagues, born
only last year, hold by a great ma
jority Salem kids, who were play
ing their very first year of base
ball. They were no match for the
experienced out-of-towners. And
it will be much the same again
this year if the out-of-towners are
permitted entry.
Until the Salem juniors have
two or three years of baseball un
. der their belts they should not be
denied every opportunity to play
In the leagues. And for every out
sider who 4s allowed to enter the
circuits, a Salem kid is denied his
chance of playing. As the league
registrations will likely reach well
over the 200 mark this year, there
will be sufficient kidpower for
both "A" and "B" divisions from
Salem alone
But how about , the outsiders '
. shouldn't they be given an oppor
tunity to play summer baseball
too, you ask? Certainly. This
piece isn't meant to deny any out-of-town
kid his right to play the
game. If there were room we'd
eay let .'em all in, the more the
merrier. "But the number of Sa
lem kids who will be ready to go
warrants a Salem-must-take-care-
- f-Jier-own-first decision.
Come to think of it, there's no
law which says an Inter-city
league operated on the same prin
cipal as the Salem Junior circuits
cant be formed. And rather eas
