Klamath Falls are progressing slowly, to be sure, but the pro- i iram will definitely get under way Uie first of July. F To those who may feel that the program has been handled . . - I.. .

E This much has been done. Three potential ! ball fields have been scraped twice to get them ' In playable condition and backstops are being constructed for each diamond. Diamonds have 5 been laid out at each of the three fields and i ifter one more scraping and a wetting down we should- be ready to commence actual play. I Here is an angle for you boys who want to 2 "play in this program to consider. In Salem a I league was suuit-u ....... -- ,. . but the whole program is going to pot through the negligence of I the players who fail to turn out v , ' , ' Now we do not want that situation to arise here. It is not State to the sponsors who have spent their money to help finance this program and it is not fair to the American Legion or the StnSSi outside of the Legion who have cooperated in this cause. I, We suggest that only boys who plan to carry this program through i tut up at the next meeting before actual play begins. :lrhe entire affair will be a dismal flop if 100 sign and only 'BO-lurn out. This situation would be most unfortunate if it 00 ' exited as it would disrupt the organization of teams and throw ( iherwhole project Into chaos. . , . . !We are not anticipating that this situation will arise, but are t mtfely endeavoring to look ahead in the eventuality that it does I occur and nip it in the bud, so to speak. f' .'iThere is no doubt that this baseball program will be a fine - thing for Klamath Falls. Our enthusiasm has never dimmed, but ' wttfreely admit that we did not realize the Immense amount of i torabaratory work necessary to get the ball rolling.
