association of Ogden believes that a league for players over SO years of age would be a fine thing His letter to the writer follows: year our group entered a softball baseball team in the Independent league and experienced an enjoyable schedule This year we have decided to enter the Industrial league so that more of our members may participate Our group is composed of approximately 100 men ages 19 to 60 Last year our average was too old to compete' successfully with a team of youngsters "This year we have several new young men of ability with whom our older -aspirants will be unable to compete We believe that we can support two teams one of an average age for the faster competition and one of 80 and older for slower company have no sponsor We simply pay our own way as individuals about five cents per game per man point in thus addressing you is partly in anticipation of other groups for instance bank clerks grocers insurance men barbers fraternal organizations and many others who would welcome your assistance in developing the plan is lots of fun and can be played by men of all ages Knowing how old one is at 30 I make the suggested division Mr Bowman has a swell Idea There is no reason why the older men cannot compete in league competition Our first step is to complete the plans for the present soft-ball park but immediate steps will be taken to see that such a league for men over 30 is organized 4 'VW Ss 4 r' CHAMPION AND FOIUUER CHAMPION will provide the fireworks for wrestling fans of Ogden at the arena Thursday night Del Kunkel present tigerweight wrestling champion of
