players and organize team, but what
the fans are looking for is someone to
step forward with a genial disposition,
a baseball head and plerty of spare
time to resurrect the dormant Senators.
Salem needs a baseball team to repre-
sent the Cherry City against the other
smaller towns of the valley and to play
the LEAGUE teams and semi pro 0rganiza

Salem IS best players are signing with
other teams and they cannot be eX-

which will shake up the local fans into
organizing a Salem team. Now is the
time to make hay for the baseball
harvest and the well organized teams
of the valley are signing up players to
strengthen their agpegations where To-
cal players fail to fill the vacancies in
the lineup. The small town managers,
however, are willing to spend little
change to secure the services of goat'

Open Season For Fish

morrow while father soaks his rheuma-
tism in the creek.
On April the season opens for fish
and fish stories although it is expected
that the fishing will be better later on
when the streams clear up. The late
rains this spring swelled the waters of
the creeks and last week the inveterate
anglers wagged a wrinkled brow with a
dubious look because it promised to be
a rainy April l. However the sun came
out after few weeks vacation and the
wrinkles came out with the sun and all
week the sporting goods houses have
been showing them something" in the
line Of up to date fishing tackle. AS the
streams get lower, later in the season,
it is expected that Salem fishermen
will be conspicuous by their absence on
Sundays when they wade along the
creeks by day and then spend their
evenings raising fish, because it is a
well known fact tnat although dry land
is pOpularly supposed to be fatal to
trout, small string has been known
to make wonderful growth over night
