This would have been a real blow to local baseball, especially after having two championship teams in a row. This spring when the Ravenna team held their meeting to elect officers for the year it was suggested to sell some tickets to the various business places in town and let them use them in whatever way they saw fit as complimentary tickets. This system worked out very successfully at Columbus a few years back.

For some reason this plan was never attempted. One business man who has had lots of experience on baseball boards told us a few weeks ago, when it became apparent the team was in need of money, that he would have been glad to have purchased a bunch of tickets for this season as he figured the best way of advertising -MORITZ WEDDING DANCE July 11 Ravenna Auditorium CLARK YANDA His Debonaires Everyone Welcome is to let your old customers know you appreciate their business. The ball club would have certainly sold these tickets at reduced prices in a package deal like this. Speaking from our own personal. point of view and as strictly a customer at any Ravenna store, what would make a baseball fan feel better after buying a couple new tires for his car, a ton of feed, a few tons of fertilizer, paying his monthly grocery bill, enough vaccine to vaccinate 50 pigs, a case of Hadacol, a new suit, the monthly gas bill and hundreds of, other things a consumer buys and as a token of appreciation for his business receive a ticket of two to a ball game.

Besides this you are helping to keep baseball going in your town and helping to keep these fans coming to Ravenna. Let's give this idea careful consideration and we'll wager after it has been put into effect and given a trial the business men of Ravenna will go to the ball club officials for tickets instead of the officials coming to them on a solicit basis. It will be that successful. The team has had tough luck from the gate standpoint because of so many rained out games. It, is always hard to get a postponed game advertised and thus the club suffers financially.

The first home game of the second half of the season will be with Loup City on July 3. Make a note of this and let's all get out and get behind the team and let's win the second half, fellows.

(66 In the past few months television viewers in this area have lost out on several sporting events because KHOL-TV's losing the Gillette fights on Friday nights and because of the fact that the Pabst Blue Ribbon fights have changed networks and are now on ABC instead of CBS. Fight fans in this area were even more angry when the Channel 13 management announced that they could still get the fights because they have an ABC hookup, but chose to stick with the hour-long play which CBS has installed in their schedule. This has been.

a big boost to viewers, who enjoy this kind of entertainment as it has given them such famous plays as "Johnny "Ah Wilderness" and many more, but it has certainly crimped the sports program. This fall will receive a big boost with the Hastings TV station expected to be on the air with an NBC affiliate which should give us the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports back on Friday nights. Also fans have ben worrying themselves into a frenzy as to whether the pro football games will be telecast over any of these stations this fall. We think the prospects of getting the games on Sunday afternoon are very good. We have been hearing rumors that an Omaha TV station is now thinking of putting up a satellite station in the area: around Osceola, and this would be a definite boost to sport fans as this would give them more variety.

Also the fact that KHOL-TV1 has come through with their satellite station near Hayes Center, which will give them a viewing audience of around a half million people, should increase their ability to get new programs. But we for one would like to go on record as definitely being in favor of pay as you go television as it will give one a chance to see sporting events as well as other programs that the sponsor can't afford to air for free. For instance, wouldn't it be nice to sit by your set and deposit a quarter or any other desired coin and see the Yanks play the Indians in a crucial game, or Archie Moore fight Rocky Marciano in a title go.
