Several players and team managers who have been connected with the sport here In years gone by favor reviving the league. Consensus of opinion seems to favor playing one night a week, and not more than two nights a week, with six or eight teams making up the circuit. Sam Jennings, who has spon sored teams here for the past 12 years, said yesterday he has made a hurried check of players and there seams 'to be consider able enthusiasm. Jennings said the players he contacted would like to tee the league started and he added he would be glad to sponsor a team. Ray Singler, who has played Softball in Medford for nearly 20 years, is anxious fo see the sport revived and said he could. be counted on to do all possible to promote a summer league. Ray Lewis, who acted as man ager of the last league in Med ford, said he was highly in favor of re-organization and would be glad to help In any way. His du ties may prevent him from act ing as manager again, Lewis said. but he is anxious to call a meet ing and get the thing started. E. H. Hedrick, city superin tendent of schools, said the high school football field and lights would be available for a summer league. Hedrick said the expens es came to about $10 a night J when the league was operating four nights a week a couple of years ago. The lights on the high school football field were paid for by three seasons of toft- ball, Hedrick said. Hedrick suggested a twilight league be formed and offered use of, the high school baseball diamond for this purpose. He said his office would find some way to caruy the expense of such league. Then If the league showed signs of being a success. Hedrick said, it could be moved Into a night circuit. Most of the players and spectators contacted on the matter prefer a night lea gue, however. A clerk at Lamport s Sporting Goods store said they have a good assortment of equipment on hand although It is hard to get. The bats are said to be of a low quality but would be good enough to "get by." A meeting will probably be called some time the first part of next week at which time organi zation plans will be discussed.
