citizens of Crowley seem not to
have been informed that minor

Last season the Crowley Millers,
winning their league title by five

fifth, they pulled in 1OO, 595. In their
first Il home dates in the present

Last years attendance indicates
that every inhabitant of Crowley,
including infants and the infirm,

Having been alerted to the fact
that something extraordinary was

higher minors are crying like stuck

attendance records to the fact it is
not privately owned outfit, but
one in which the fans themselves
are the owners. Miller Baseball,
Inc, is a corporation in which
there are some 400 stockholders
composed of fans from all over the
parish County,. The organization
sold some $40, 900 worth of stock at
SIS per share.
AFTER two seasons in the Gulf
Coast League they entered the
Evangeline in 81 and finished fifth.
They were in a fight for the top
spot in the standing when their
fine young center fielder, Andy
Strong, was struck by lightning
during a game at Alexandria and
killed instantly. The Millers fall.
