Little League Baseball
Gets Underway in Area,
First Games Set May 30
Little League baseball game
schedules for Kenai-Wildwood
Soldotna teams will l)egin with
two double-headers events on Me
morial Day, May 30.
From the enthusiastic response
from prospective players as well
from adult sponsors and boosters,
present indications are that at
least six teams will be formed in
the area, although all do not have
a name or sponsor as yet. Sol
dotna will have three teams, pos
sibly more; Kenai is forming two
and may form a third team, and
Wildwood will have at least one
team.
Two of the Memorial Day
games will be on the Kenai ball
damond across from the Kenai
Airport. The other double-header
will be played on the diamond
near Parkers in Ridgeway.
Tentative schedule for the Sol
dotna games calls for the ‘‘Na
tionals’’ to meet the “Builder's” at
1 p.m. After a one-hour break,
the "Builders” will then play the
Wildwood team at 2 p.m.
The double-header at Kenai will
begin at 1 p.m. with one of the
Kenai teams playing Wildwood.
At 3 p.m., the “Nationals” will
journey to Kenai to met a Kenai
team.
Practice Begins
Kenai held its first practice
last Saturday and another is
scheduled at 2 p.m. Friday at the
ball field.
Registration at Soldotna is set
this Saturday at 1 p.m. at the
ball field near Parkers. Since a
boy must have his registration
form signed by his parents or
guardian, team managers are ask
ing that as many parents accom
pany their sons as possible Sat
urday so that such signatures
may be secured and the boy allow
ed to proceed with tryouts.
Any boy who will attain the
age of nine (9) years before Aug.* 1
I-—
1 and who wjll not attain the aye
of 13 years before Aug. 1, 19(5.'},
is eligible to compete in Little
League baseball.
An increasing number of adults
in the area are becoming boosters
of the Little League, regardless
of whether or not they have pros
pective players in the family. Of
the 13 men gathered at a planning
session in Kenai Monday night,
only one man there—-Ed Hollier—
had a son of Little League age.
This will be the first year that
the local organization will be a
part of the National Little Lea
gue organization. Necessary funds
for required insurance and league
registration were made possible
through the Kenai-Soldotna Ki
wanis Club and the Soldotna Elks
Club.
Governing Hoard
A governing board and officers
were elected Monday night at a
meeting of coaches, managers,
sponsors, and other interested
persons. First Sgt. Lawrence
Dwyer was elected board presi
dent. Other officers are PFC
George Stewart, vice president;
PFC. Charles Ginsburg, secretary;

.Just how many of these will quali
fy, either by age restrictions or
by parent’s permission, will prob
ably be better learned after tjii^

Senator Proposes
Rule on Ducksf^
For State Natives
> - > *
Sen. .Ernest Gruening, D-Alas
ka, followed up a Senate .ftppech
entitled “Food for Hungry People
Should Take Precedence Over Ca
tering' to Sportsmen” by writing
to Secretary of the Interior Stew
art L. Udall to i>ropose the addi
tion to regulations on migratory
birds of a provision guaranteeing
the right of Alaska Indians and
Eskimos (and indeed of others in
need of such birds to feed them
selves and their families) to take
them at any season.
“It would be unthinkable,” the
senator wrote to the secretary,
“to support the proposition that
people must starve in order to
preserve migratory birds for
sport hunters. However, from re
ports reaching me, some of your
Fish and Wildlife employees are
laboring under this delusion.”
Senator Gruening asked that
hearings on amendment of the re
gulations be held in Washington,
and also at Barrow, Nome, Unala
kleet, Kotzebue, Bethel and other
points in Alaska.
The senator reviewed for the
Senate the history of the migra
tory waterfowl convention and its
enforcement in Alaska, saying it
had never l»een intended it should
apply to Natives taking ducks and
geese for food in the late spring

ers is one of the men who spear
headed the local Little League
movement. He will be overseer of
all Soldotna teams.

the “Builders” being sponsored by
Ted Grainge of Soldotna Building
Supply. Frank Monday of River
side House will manage the “Na
tionals” for sponsor Dick Hall of
the National Bank of Alaska.
Another team name, sponsor and
manager are still needed by the
third Soldotna team.
Bats, balls, uniforms anti caps
will be supplied by Little League
sponsors but shoes and gloves
wil be up to the individual play
er.
The “Mukluks,” one of the

be coached by Billy Joe Mize, pas
tor of the East Kenai Church of
Christ and former Kiwanis pre
sident. The team will be managed
by Jack Williford, Standard Oil
Refinery employee.
The other team, as yet without
a name or sponsor, will be man
aged by Ed Hollier of the Depart
ment of Highways, who headed
the Kenai School Board as pres
ident this past year. Roger Meeks,
shoe store operator in Kenai, will
serve as coach.

mission at any of the Little Lea

cepted to help defray expenses of
operations. All expenditures must

board and to be for the good of

that purpose.
Valentine, who is stationed at
Seward, says th'At heaver pelt

ter the close of the season and no
skins may be sold until they hear
the F and (1 seal. The season clos
ed on the last day'of April.
Approximately 200 beaver were
sealed on the Kenai Peninsula last
year but Valentine says he esti
mates there will be only about
half that number this season. The
reason is not due to lack of beav
er, he says, for there still are
plenty of beaver on the Peninsu
la. The scarcity in skins comes
from the deerease-in * number of
trappers seeking the animals.
