A late entry in the league, Plattsmouth is filling in the un scheduled games of league teams. Pierce Is Fined For Operating On Suspended License Bernard Pierce was fined $25 and costs in county court on a charge of operating a vehicle on a suspended license. Pierce orginally pleaded not guilty to the charge but chang ed his plea to guilty Tuesday after posting $50 appearance bond. Judge J. H. Graves, police magistrate, suspended Pierce's license last week after he plead- ed guilty to charges of willful reckless driving and speeding. Junior Legion Team Will Test Louisville Nine Plattsmouth American Legion junior baseball team has a chance to square things with Louisville Sunday when the two teams meet in what could be the deciding game in Junior Le gion district play. The oiucome of Sunday's game may determine the league champion. Plattsmouth Junior Legion will be host to the Louis ville nine at 2:30 at Memorial Athletic Field. Although Louisville is favor ed to win the district. Haiih promises that the Plattsmouth Junior Legion "will try to knock them off." Louisville took a one-run vic tory from the high school team early this spring and will prob ably have Chris Salberg on the mound come Sunday. Salberg pitched and batted the Lions to a win over the Blue Devils. Jon Schuetz will undoubtedly get the nod from Coach Carl Haith as he sends his charges after their third consecutive win. Ashland and Springfield have been victims of IIaith's Juniors in recent outings. Louisville maintained pace with the Platters Sunday by tripping Weeping Water 5-3. Led by Salberg, who clouted a two run triple and struck out 13 Indians, the Lions are rated one of the better teams in the district. Weeping Water man aged one hit off Salberg and Bruce Hirsch Sunday. w PL F V t&zt El (SSS! W.fzSt S2i4 tssi Managers Plot Midget Strategy Are Siili . 4 4 Y v f t. fe v I 4 .
