Plans for the season have been completed, and baseball followers will find not only an increase in me caliber of play, but park im provements that will make the game more enjoyable. The oDen. mg day. ceremonies will, include the inevitable band and the "Take Me out to the Ball Game." , . The opening will catch some of the teams, short, the few col lege, players in the circuit not be ing eligible' until the third same of the season Friday night. How ever, all are expected to field strong teams in an effort to cap ture the pennant and the handsome- Skeie trophy that goes to this years' winner. At the final league meeting of the season, held last week, Al Lightner was definitely identified as manager of the . Snellstrom Braves, with Doc Taylor handling the business end. - ; . .,. League officials turned down proposals by a half dozen travel ing teams to play here and decided to bring only the Harlem Globe trotters, House of David and pos sibly the Salem Senators and Portland Beavers here for exhibi tion games during the season. The exhibitions will be benefits for the league's building fund for a new park in the Amazon area within a few years, Most prominent amoneithe new players in the circuit this season is Byron Speece, veteran Portland Beaver pitcher, who will be with the Giustina Reds. The Miller Lumbermen have added Johnny Bubalo, former Oregon great, and Bill Schubel, ex-Yankee chain pitcher. The Snellstrom Braves will have catcher Woody Salmon, Pitcher Lee Fallin,.Infielders Don Kirsch, Vern Reynolds and Wally Flager, all well-known names in organized and semi-pro baseball.

This was definitely shown last week when members of the club, headed by such oldtime stars as Joe DiMaggio und Charley Kelley, started a revolt against Showman MacPhail and his promotional stunts and his attempt to force the Yankees to travel by air. . , Conditions last year never came out in the open like they have this season, and the three straight wins by the Cleveland Indians over the Yanks, in which Gordon played an important role, probably had something to do With the new threat to "break up the Yankees." Last .winter Joe told a flrouD of Seattle. Portland- and Eueene sportswriters,- attending an after-the-ball-game deal at the home of Claire Kneeland, just what happened last season. "The best thing .MacPhail ever did for me was trade me," Gordon said, . -v . Gordon revealed he, MacPhail and Bill Dickev. who was one of the four Yank managers last year, engaged in a story session last season in which the vanxee president accused Joe of laying down and warned himrhe was -through with the club. "I walked out of the meeting twice." Joe said "onlv to have Dickey call me back. . -"MacPhail said I was out of the lineup for good, but Dickey told Larry he was running the team and as soon as my leg healed I would be back or Larry .could get himself another manager. - "I'm completely pleased it turned out the way it did."- Gordon continued. ; .- -Joe is having a good year and It wouldn't be too much to hope that he will play In his sixth World Series come next October. Charley Mfckelson, promising outfielder, win be lost to the chm plon Hills Creek Billies of the Cascade League this season because of a knee Injury suffered In the Oregon-Idaho tamo at Moscow a couple of weeks ago. He is now hospitalized after the removal of the cartilage from his knee. ... :". .
