WESTERN GIVES YOUNGSTERS
CHANCE?-EACH CLUB
MUST CARRY SIX

The Western league has stepped to
the front in encouraging young play
ers to take up baseball as a profess
sion.
A rule adopted at a recent meeting
compcls each OF the eight teams in
the league to keep six players who
have never played in anything higher
than Class 3 ball on their rosters. The
teams are allowed but Is men and the
rule will be an inducement to manag-
ers to develop young players.
The new rule applies to old players
the same as new ones joining the
clubs. Only nine men with previous
engagements in leagues of higher
standing than Class A may be carried.
Each club may carry five pitchers, two
OF whom must be youngsters.
Thirty full games for infielders and
outiielders, Is games for catchers and
10 for pitchers will put them out OF
the youngster class.
TO enforce the "youngster' rule
managers who refuse to get rid of old
players above the limit will have their
games forfeited until he obeys the
ruling.

THE. MosCA PASS ROUTE

The Alamosa Leader has the fol-
lowing argument to offer for the
Mosca pass road which is all to the
good:
There is a route from the San
Luis valley into Florence and to
Canon City that would help both the
San Luis and Arkansas valleys if it
were put through, and this route is
the one known as the Mosca pass
route. We have been informed that
there will be several thousand dol
lars of government money to build
and repair the road on the east in
cline, also money by the state for
this road. The road on this side of
the pass can be built at a nominal
figure, and from Mosca to Alamosa
there is very fine road.
The San Luis valley needs this
Mosca pass route; it needs it be-
cause it will connect us with the
towns of Florence and Canon City by
three hours drive. The rainbow
route around by Salida does not
come to Alamosa or Monte Vista: it
passes by Saguache and skirts the
foothills to the west leaving out the
real San Luis valley.
Florence people are progressive
and enterprising. They should see
the policy of helping boost for the
Mosca pass route. 1t will help them
as well as u.s.

The snowfall for the Rio Grande
watershed at the end of December
was about normal as compared to
the same date for the past six years.
While the fall on the Conejcs and
Alamosa are average, it was less
than usual at the head of the Rio
Grande and on the creeks draining
into the Rio Grande river from the
north. The snowstorms during Jan
uary, however, will probably restore
the usual amount on the entire wat
