Ticket are now on sale al the ball field, and and interested individuals can get information on the team and ticket prices by calling Curtis Watson, an American Fork resident who will be the team's business manager and trainer, said the club has been working hard to get the veteran's park field in shape for the opening game. Watson hoped to have the bleachers painted and the field in shape for this week's opening series against Tooele. Unseen holes in the outfield which could trip and injure unsuspecting players were presenting one of the major problems in getting the park ready for tonight's opener. Laker field manager Bob McBee said fans could expect some exciting action at the Laker's games. "This is going to be a good Class A League," McBee said. "I would take some of the kid that are going to be here and play anywhere. "There will also be some mistakes, but that's what the ball to learn to players are here Tor play belter," he continued. There are 22 players on each of the four Kocky Mountain League teams, chosen in recent tryouls. Among those are local players like (ireg Adams from Orem, pitcher Pat Troesler from Cedar City, and Duaine Kldcr, who is from Long Heach, Calif., but played ball for the University of Utah. Most or the players have recently lceti released from major league farm systems, and hope to use the local league as a stepping stone back into the big leagues. The teams are facing a grueling schedule that will start tonight and end Sept. 19. (James are scheduled for every day, seven days a week, during that period. "We have to schedule it that way lo play enough games," Watson explained. This week the Inkers will play five days in a row here against the Gold, each game starting at 7:30 p.m. with the exception of Sunday's game, which begins at 2 p.m. Monday the Lakers will travel to Tooele for three more games against the same team. They'll return home next Thursday to play Carbon at home for four days. A complete schedule will be published in this newspaper next week. With only four teams in the league, the teams will see a lot of each other throughout the summer before playoffs start Sept. 17. McBee said the team is planning several pre-gam- e mini-clini- for local youngsters that will be held prior to local games to give young ball players tips on how to play the game better. More information on the clinics will appear in later editions of this newspaper.
