Fan Support Needed To Carry On
The annual meeting of the Zu-
rich Lumber Kings baseball team
will be h;e1d in the Zurich Town
Hall on Thursday night, May 1.
A good turnout at this meeting
will 'assnare fans of a good ball
club for the coming season.
As the warmer weather ap-
proaches the baseball fever is
starting to hit 'focal sportsmen,
and the main topic of coiwersat-
ion around town is ball. All of
last years team is still ay.ailab'.le,
as well as several new players
with whom negotiations are now
being carried out. Jim Attila.,
who pitched for Zurich several
years ago, is again back in Zurich
for a tryout with the local squad.
Last year Ivan Kalbfleisch was
president of the local group, and
Leroy Thiel was secretary-treas'-
u2 er. Tom Rawlings was the team
manager and it is the hope of
local fans that he will again carry
on in this capad]ty.
The most important factor in
the forming of a. club is the sine
poet of the fans, and they can
show just that by attending this
annual meeting (on Thursday ni-
ght.
