Lincoln's chances for a repeat are good in view of the fact that they are Pittsburg's only Class A minor league team. This will en able the local club to obtain players from Hollywood, New Orleans and Mexico City without having to share the crop with some other team of the same classification. The Western League will play 154 games this season. This is an addition of 14 games over last year. There will be no playoffs and the team in first place at the end of the schedule will be the pennant winner. In the past few years, the minor leagues have been hurt consid erably by television.

Well, we must agree that watching these games is inviting, especially in this part of the country where the closest major league city is far away. But the fact remains that television will never satisfy the real baseball fan. You can never substitute a televised game for the experience of going down to the ball oark. wramiintr vnnrsp.f nmtmri a hot dog and yelling your lungs out.
