Following their home opener Tuesday they make their bow at Cairns Field Wednesday night playing the Saskatoon Gems. Banks brought a young team along with him from Philadelphia.

He is a newcomer to western diamonds and thinks so highly of his youthful charges that he figures they may burn up the Saskatchewan League.

Johnson is playing shortstop and second for the Phillies. Four youngsters, Lionel King (20), Boyd Brown (22), Preston Bessicks (23) and Lefty Summers (21), along with seasoned veterans Ben Hill and Pancho Gray form the Rosetown pitch ing staff.

Charlie played for the well known Mel-fort juniors during the summer of 1952 and also had a fling with Notre Dame Hounds of the Southern Saskatchewan Senior League that year. Gems general manager Ralph Mabee liked the look of Peerless when he appeared here with Regina Caps last year and as soon as he learned the Regi-nans were not going to have a club this season he put the little left-hander on his list. Mabee has been imnressed with the showing of Peerless in Workouts here and thinks the young pitcher will do all right in the Saskatchewan League.
