Jones Speaks AT
Rotary Thursday

Fred Jones, prominent Ohio
sports figure, businessman and one
of the II men responsible for pur-
chasing the Ottawa baseball fran
chise for Columbus, was guest
speaker at the Thursday meeting
of the London Rotary Club. Mr..
Jones delivered a humorous and
enlightening talk on the present
and future prospects of the newly
organized Columbus Jets" base.
ball club.
Explaining the aims of the ol~
ganization, Mr.. Jones, stated that
it is the intention Of the group to
encourage and promote youth well
fare in the central Ohio area. 1t
is the plan to have Little Leagues,
high school teams and other youth
full ballplayers to participate in
games at the Columbus stadium
prior to all regular home games.
The old "Knothole Gang" is being
reorganiZed. Too, Mr.. Jones said,
the debt against the ball park will
be retired as soon as possible and
the stock turned over to the Co
lumbus Youth Foundation. In this
way, the ball club will then rent
the park from the foundation and
the proceeds will be used to en-
courage more and better youth
programs in this area. 1t was be-
lieved that revenues collected from
the arrangement would come to
between $4,000 and $4,000 per
year after the debt has been re-
tired.
The Jets are now in training at
Leesburg, Florida, and will open
at Columbus against Rochester on
April 20. The advance sale of sea-
son boxes has surpassed all pre-
vious records. The tremendous re-
sponse of the public is without
precedent in Columbus baseball,
Mr.. Jones said, and the outlook for
the future is the brightest in a
great nany wears.

with common interest for discus
sion of methods to improve the

ther work will be done on them by
committees which were appointed
at the suggestion cf Mr.. Owen Ac-

increased attendance would come
when the fair had something TO Of
fer the public. The committees
agreed to work toward these ends
in the 1855 program.
