HAINES American Legion Junior Baseball Talked Probablv one of the most outstanding achievements of the American Legion has been its backing of its junior baseball teams throughout the entire continental United States. With the hue and cry raised against juvenile delinquency by the courts, police authorities, and the pillars of ,; . -.- . the cnurcn. tne American region wem and did something about this problem instead of merely talking about it. Although this program helped immeasurably to deter delinquency among youngsters, it was not the sole purpose or the lone benefit de rived from the formulation of baseball clubs by the American Legion in America. It develops youngsters both physically and mentally, gives them a real athletic incentive, teaches American sportsmanship, and uncovers latent talent which might never be discovered otherwise. Not a few of these youngsters have gone up into the big show the major leagues as a result of the early training they received as Dla vers on American Legion teams. ' At a meeting Monday night of the American . Leeion nost of this citv the subiect of junior baseball in Klamath Falls and Klamath county was brought up and discussed. Although there seemed .to be slight difficulties, the consensus of opinion was that American Legion baseball could be started again in this area. .' We know of no good reason why this can not be done and furthermore we think it SHOULD be done. The benefits to the kids far overbalance any minor discomforts or inconvenience that might result from the formulation of junior ball clubs here. In past years there were 10 ball teams operating in various parts of this county under the auspices of Lynn Roycroft of the American Legion, but this was discontinued in 1936. Each team was composed of approximately 20 boys, Lynn says, which made a total of 200 youngsters in this county alone playing baseball and getting some real good out of it. At this above mentioned meeting Tuesday night a committee was named by Post Commander Carl Schubert to investigate the possibilities of renewing junior baseball here. Those appointed on the committee were Roycroft, Leon Lombard and this writer. It is too late to form a district team for the annual Legion tournaments, but it is definitely NOT too late to form a league in this area. It should be emphasized at once that only boys 17 years of age and under are eligible to play on these teams. We ask boys who read this and who like and want to play baseball to get in touch with the- other fellows, pass the word around, and see what the prospects of a ball club are in your community. In the meantime the committee will do its best to start the ball rolling. A meeting will be called in a few days of ALL eligible boys who desire to 'play junior baseball in Klamath county, so keep your eye on this column for further information soon. We NEED a Legion ball team here and, by all that's holy, we'll have one if it's humanly possible. f m Excitement! ' Thrills!
