Show Big Drive Launched To Support Ball Club Big time baseball comes back to Utah this spring with the entry of Salt Lake City in the Pacific Coast League. Work is now underway in getting Derks Field in shape to handle a crowd of 10,000 or more for the opening open-ing game. First game in Utah will be played April 29. Meanwhile a state-wide stock sale is underway. Everyone in Utah has a chance to become a partial owner and stockholder of the Salt Lake Bees. Stock can be secured for $5 per share and is limited to residents of the state of Utah only. Requests for stock should be mailed to the Salt City Baseball corporation, Derks Field, Salt Lake City. i This will be the first community commu-nity owned baseball team in the state. There are many benefits that will accrue to Utah from a big-time baseball team and civic leaders are unanimously backing back-ing the bigger Bees. Governor Clyde says, "The whole state of Utah will benefit from having Pacific Coast ball here. The affiliation from the major cities in this league is healthy and beneficial. Interest in the team will be statewide and a real unifying influence. I hope the Bees become to Utah what the Milwaukee Braves have become be-come to Wisconsin. Big time baseball should draw many visitors visi-tors to our state and provide an attraction for these tourists to stay longer." o |
