Legion Junior
Baseball Season
Opens Monday
Louisville, Last Year District Cham
piens, to be Here for Only
Game on Home Grounds
PLATTSMOUTH PLAYS
Monday, June 28 Louisville here
Thursday, July 1 Elm wood there
Thursday, July 8 Gretna there
Monday, July 12 Papillion there
Although sponsoring a boys' base
ball team the past two seasons, the
riattsmouth Legion post has never
entered its squad in the official Le
gion Junior Baseball competition un
til this year.
The official schedule for League
A. District 3, just received by Fred
Herbster, chairman of the Legion
Junior Baseball conimittee, shows
five teams assigned to League A, as
follows: Elmwood. Gretna. Louis
ville, Papillion and Plattsmoutlu
Official league play will be start
ed next Monday, June 28, when the
fast Louisville team, district cham
pions last year, will be here for the
cue and only home game in the
series of four planned for each of
the five teams. Games are scheduled
for June 28, July 1, 5, 8 and 12, one
team drawing a bye on each of the
five dates. Plattsmouth draws its
bye Monday, July 5.
The winner of League A compe
tition will meet the winner of League
B for championship of District 3
this district championship to be set
tled on or before July 20. District
champions will meet later in state
wide competition, with the state
champions going on to a regional
tournament and from there to the
national.
Plattsmouth Has Good Team
riattsmouth has a very good team
this year. Of the fifteen boys certi
fied, all are "natural" ball players,
who like the game and have been
willing to put in long hours of prac
tice to perfect themselves, under the
coaching of "Sweed" Lutman, who
has been furnished by the Recrea
tional program of the Federal gov
ernment especially for this task.
Earl Wiles is No. 1 mound man,
and a good pitcher. Stub Sedlak at
short stop position regularly, is the
team's No. 2 pitcher and John Jac
obs has proven his ability to take
the mound as relief pitcher when
needed. Don Wall, center fielder, i3
the team's ace batter. Bob Hayes
holds down catcher's place in most
able manner. Gene Werstler, Joe
Philips and Harry Shiffer are the
three regular basemen, while Ronald
Rebal, Don Wall and Dale Jackson
play in the outfield. Allen Tersing-
er fills in at short stop or third base,
and Allen White is the relief first
baseman, with Jimmy Jones, Joe
Noble and Glen Lutz substituting in
the outfield.
To date the team has played three
unofficial or practice games. In the
first contest of the season at Louis
ville, Plattsmouth led, 4 to 3 until
the seventh inning, and then "crack
ed," dropping the game to last year's
district champions, 6 to 4. That is
one reason why the regular league
Same here next Monday will be fast
and furious. Undoubtedly Louisville
will furnish the stiffest competition
in League A, and to help our boys
win, a large attendance should turn
out for this home game Monday af
ternoon. It will be played on the old
ball diamond east of the Burlington
depot. No admission will be charg
ed and business men and citizens of
the town are invited to attend. The
game will be called at 2:30. Seven,
instead of the usual nine innings, are
played in Junior Legion competition,
that being deemed sufficiently long
for any coming pitcher of immature
years to extend himself.
In the other two unofficial inter
city contests, Plattsmouth defeated
Nebraska City, 11 to 3 and Auburn,
3 to 2.
Following is the schedule for the
five days of play:
Monday, June 28 Gretna at
Papillion; Louisville at Plattsmouth;
Elmwood. bye.
Thursday, July 1 Plattsmouth at
Elmwood; Gretna, bye; Tapillion at
Louisville.
Monday, July 5 Louisville at
Gretna; Papillion at Elmwood;
Plattsmouth, bye.
Thursday, July 8 Papillion, bye;
Elmwood at Louisville; Plattsmouth
at Gretna.
Monday, July 12 Louisville, bye;
Plattsmouth at rapillion; Gretna at
Elmwood.

RAISING
Needs Hail Protection!
SEE OR CALL
BUSY BUILDING FORMS FOB,
CONCRETE WORK ON DOCK
During the high water, when the
men are unable to work at the site
of Plattsmouth's new dock, the var
ious forms for the concrete portions
of the structure are being built lip
town. When the water goes down,
the forms will be trucked to the site
and set up (arrangements to hinge
them together being provided) so
the pouring of concrete can begin.
All of the piling to support the dock
and warehouse were driven before
the June rise of the river, and the
driver and other equipment removed
to higher ground.
The dock site has remained above
the present high water, although
considerable overflow water stands
on the lower ground between it and
town. This section will be built up
with a 12 to 20 foot grade, for the
new all-weather road to the dock
that is part of the WPA project. A
number of long culverts or small
bridges will allow future flood water
to pass without endangering the
roadway, even should the river rise
several feet above its high stage of
yesterday, which is very improbable
after construction of the Fort Peck
reservoir is completed.
Since the announcement was first
made of Plattsmouth's success in get
ting the first dock above St. Joseph.
Mo., WPA has been besieged with
applications from other towns up
and down the river, inclu-ding Ne
braska City, that never thought
much about it before.
Engineer say the Plattsmouth riv
er front is the finest anywhere along
the Big Muddy above Kansas City,
and Plattsmouth seems assured not
only of having the first dock and
loading wharf, but one of the finest
of the many that will be built, cither
through WPA assistance or financed
in whole by local communities.
CARDINAL
SEWERS
The Cardinal Sewers met at the
library rather than at the home of
their leader as we had planned be
cause it was more conveniently lo
cated for the mothers, who were in
vited to attend.
Miss Jessie Baldwin, county home
agent, was present. She gave a fine
talk on good grooming and posture
of the 4-H girl. Many different styles
of slips were shown which were made
by club girls. Good illustrations of
color harmony were shown. Miss
Baldwin showed us how to enlarge
a pattern or make it smaller. We
were also shown nellraara towels and
the steps in making them.
The club girls brought samples of
our slip materials and pictures of
patterns.
At the close of the meeting Miss
Rishel furnished a treat which was
enjoyed by all.
The next meeting will be held
Wednesday, June 30, at the home of
Margaret and Mirian Fricke.

.Highway patrolmen, under the
terms of their recruitment, will be
subject to 12 hours duty, G days a
week, and will be subject to call at
any time.
I The department may station a pa

which may be deemed advisable and
he may be transferred in the depart
ment's discretion.
