When the writer took ovar as sporli editor just a bit over three years ago, many valley sports fans took with more than just a grain of salt a pre diction that before many years had gone by the vallay would have a professional baseball team. They were also much skepti cal about baseball ever taking hold among the boys. Most of them contended football and track were too much Instilled In the boys' minds and their back ground to allow baseball to take hold.
