BILL VEECK. THE FORMER owner of thm- different majoi bague baseball teams ami the man wh- will go down in history a adding some of the wildest things to basehull that fans have < \ r seen, has published a book t it has been on the circulated urea of the cities for over two v. । ks Veeck. the gentleman who visited Walkerton m January of rßi is a .very fine gentleman and the type person who will S| eak to anyone a' anytime. HOWEVER. VEECK IN HIS b >k has taken some pretty well tinned pukes at many different people. He doesn t pull any punches, and doesn't care who he attacks Some of his charges h ive a lot of meaning, but for a man who has infest eri the fine spoil of baseball with some of the silly gimmicks he has. maybe shouldn't threw rocks from his glass house. VEECK BROUGHT A I'ENjmnt to the Chicago White Sox in 1959. How. we will never know, but that is just what he din. However, in the much shorter time of just one winter, he proceeded to alm, s completely w eek the Chicago chances for an >ther pennant for a few yeais.

AND THEN CAME SUCH things that monstrous scoreboard that peivhes high above the centerfield area all set to exploit the heroics of the hom» team when they pike the ball over the wall This three-hundred thousand dollar plaything costs a flat st on bucks to shoot on a holm* run True, it dot* toll you the score and the scores of the other games, but so did their old board. It appears that this S3OO - oiio phis il takes to amuse the crowds at Conuskey Park could have been invested in talent. Many clubs out-draw the Whitw Sox in a'tendance with baseball and talent VEECK IS A SHOWMAN This fact no one will dispute. He is indeed a master showman, but just how much cf this showmanship should be mixed with baseball is another question. Many of the promotions and stun 5 are all right, but some of the antics get just a little ridiculous. VEECK. IN HIS BOOK. AND also through an article in Dok Magazine the pas’ few weeks, has lashed out at the Yankee organization. He claims they are very selfish, mercenary and control the league the way they want. However, what team .and front office in* baseball would control the league if they had the Yankees talent and success story behind them Certainly he doesn’t expect them to complete, ly fall down. HE ALSO WENT INTO DEtail as to what was wrong with baseball and how to correct it. It is true that over the past years many changes have been made in baseball to slow down the games and ’o rai.e the scoring and put more honor on Hie home run. However, for all the many plans that have been offered. to just a plain layman of the game. it seems that all that would be needed is to give back to the pitchers a little more right-of-way and a couple more inches on the strike zone that has been taken away from them. TO WATCH A PITCHER toss ball alter ball m’o that very small strike zone they call today

is just a mirace to think that they can even come close to hurling shutouts and low-hit games Now a slight, scratch m a ball also takes it out of play and certainly one with a dark spot isn’t g ting to be left in action It used to he that the pitchers were allowed freedom with some of these tricks in an effort to fool the batters and certainly today I hey are needed more than in the past when the ball wasn't as lively LN CLOSING, WE WILL speak of this ball a little bit. They say it is still made by the same specifications that it was thirty years ago Pine, that can all be true, but certainly the improvement m materials has to add something to the quality of the ball Also. the bats are a big factor The big heavy hitting stars have all switched to bats as light as they can take to the plate for that quick snap and hard swing in quest of that fourbase hit This is what makes foi a 10l of the home runs

Goodwin, general manager of the LaPorte Production Credit Association, reports that because of ciianges, constant and rapid in recent years, the need for a better educated and better farm-trained operator has been emphasized. In years past, this need has been apparent in most other fields of endeavor and is now a must in the field of agriculture. Recognizing this fact, F’CA has developed a new type loan especially tailored for educational purposes. Goodwin says that any dependent of a fann family is eligible to apply. The plan is so designed that most any qualified applicant can secure for himself a c ollege education to major in any subject he desires. Repayment is geared so that the farm family who so desires can help their child or children obtain this very important and almost essential schooling. Complete details of the plan may be secured from any PC A office. ROI XD \M) SQI ARE DANC E By Fish Lake Lions at Club Building. Fish Lake. Saturday. July 21st. 9 to 12. Donation 75c.
