Never Encouraged Amateurs

This season the Eastern League was
forced to place at least two amateurs"
in the games but who ever saw any
youngsters given an opportunity pre-
viously? No one. The league never de-
! veloped player in its nine years of
history. and the only occasion any young
player received chance was when some
| club was up against it. one reason why
players were not developed was because
there was no one to develop them. Shades
of Billy Morgenweck
| We have seen them all. and every
young star got his opportunity because
the club he represented was in a hole
at tae time. Take the best of them.
