Grabar Merely Victim of the Times id Wlh
The demise of Norm Grabar
ether example of just how truly rough it is forjthe younger baseball
players to exist in our "Class B"
before the WIL went beserk, the 23-year-old Grabar would have been
worth keeping as a potential standout of the future True enough, he
needs to develop his batting. Which
league been purely Class B. I i I
But with so much experience now in the circuit (over 56 as
sorted ex-major and Coast leaguers), clubs Cannot afford to go
along with the younger fellows while .they are developing In
order to keep up with their neighbors, the club operators must take
on the more experienced (and costly) players also, therein knock
ing out the youngsters with limited ability. 1
It's a bad break for Grabar
WIL magistrates do something about
Ing in hiring the overly-costly ttlder
comparative youngsters in the league. f ; i
Really a bad break for the same magistrates also, for In not
being able to fill their rosters with players of Grabar's caliber
they're having to pay much more
than they should. Were the truth to be known we'd bet our mort
gaged Keizer plot that at least six of the eight clubs are right now
so splashed with red ink they look like fire engines." And they're

Coaches Drop from North Bend Like Dead flies j

The high school itself isn't the only hot spot. Every one of
the coaches in the Junior high has quit, as have 19 teachers and two
other principals. Some mighty fine records as mentors, such at
those owned by both Holcomb and Wilkins, went with them. 1

The triumph for Miss Ber2 was
her second in four days over the
recognued No. 1 woman golfer of
the nation and sent ;her into to
morrow's quarter-finals with thread
other ranking professionals and
four amateurs. . , ' -';'
The margin of the Babe's set-
back today actually was the second !
hole which she conceded to Mi$s '
Berg after angrily upbraiding thai
photographers. ? ;
After driving Into I a trap and;
sending her second shot Into thai j
rough, Mrs. Zaharias missed - a i
third by failing to hit tha green.!
"Okay," she said to one photogra
pher, "New I suppose you want
another picture." ;
Then she turned to the assembl
ed camera group and complained!
"These cameramen must take their
pictures, I suppose."
She picked up her; ball with a;
flourish end said to Miss Berst
You can have this one. Patty. X
can't do anything with all this
clicking.''
