First Baseball Tilt Schedule This Afternoon . Enthusiastic about the open ing of the baseball season here, Coach Merle Stewart glanced heavenward this morning hope ful that no moisture would dampen his spirits. The Blue Devils are scheduled to meet Coach Darrcll Branden burg's Louisville Lions after school tonight. Game time is about 3:30 p. m. It'll mark the opening game for Plattsmouth hin school on the diamond this spring. Tenta tive games have been rained out or postponed for the past three weeks. Louisvill-?, with one game un der its belt, will probably rely heavily on Chris Salburg who pitched and batted the team to that one victory. Stewart is still experimenting with a start ing lineup. Several experienced players are available for key spots, but Stewart will have to break out a new mound corps for the game. CECIL KARR ACCOUNTING Income Tax Service Bookkeeping; Systems Installed Ph.
