HARRY PEPPER
Gathering news for this column is quite a chancy business.
Sometimes one has to really go
out and look for it and again
there are times like Monday
evening, when it comes looking
for you.

McDonald might have something new on his Junior Girls

just hoping for something to

includes Joe Rosse president,
Ross Armour, Vice-pres.;
Tommy Gibbons, sec.-treas.;
and directors Merv Jensen,
Louie Thompson, Arne Campbell, " Chris" Christianson,

Personally, I would like to
congratulate the club for a job
well done and wish them as
good or better season in '72 .
All forms of s_ummer ~~_.
are in the formabve stage 1'
now and so there is really
too much to write about tl,
week.
Aside from additions to theLittle League rosters because
of late entries, Saturday's opener will go on as scheduled
with four 3-inning games and
the parade of players, coaches
etc. through town which will
precede the games.
Additional registrations have
added a couple of players to
each roster and it looks like a
keenly-contested season may
be in the offing.
One thing in favour of a good
season is the goodly number of
volunteers that will be available
for extra jobs around the
League. I have been contacted
by a few people who are i_nt_erested, and this looks prom1srng.
The quest goes on for a coach
for some 15 youngsters who
have registered to play in th e
Senior Babe Ruth section of the
local Minor Ball, but two or
three lines are out and may
result in some satisfaction.
Practices to be held this week
may point up some pretty good
looking players in this group,
and they could make some energetic young fellows look pretty
good in their first year of coa ching in this age group.
Newly-elected coach of the
Senior Capilanos, a knowledgeable young man who I predicted
you ball fans would have no
trouble recognizing , Lloyd McLellan, has started the Caps on
drills already . Practices were
held Sunday in Trail and Tuesday night at Jubilee .
Lloyd tells me that most faces on the team will be familiar
this year . Some of them may
have bee!} in different uniforms
the last~time you saw them,
but will definitely be an asset
to the Joral team .
One of the new recruits will
be young Joe Caron who has
been playing for Lou DeRosa's
high school team in Trail . Lloyd
