Tackett, who will manage the
El CentrO Redbirds, said he would
arrange a game here for the team
on Sunday, December %, in honor
Of the Cardinals officials who arc
coming to open the school.
Scouts from both the Cardinals
and the Sacramento club will be

in action. and it is very possible
that some Of the more promising
players might snag themselves
berths on the Fresno team of the
California State league.
An assignment to Fresno could
very well prove to be a stepping
stone to the big time, Manager
Tackett said.
Tackett said he had planned to
ask the city council for funds
