Show Cincinnati Reds To Hold School Once again the Cincinnati Reds organization is to hold a school for young ballplayers of the far west. Boys of ability, between the ages of 17 and 21, are invited to attend the camp at the Ogden Reds Park, at Ogden, Utah, August 8 to 12. Since 1934, the Cincinnati organization organ-ization has held 36 of these camps. While instruction is stressed, opportunities oppor-tunities in baseball have been offer-e offer-e to 121 boys, of whom a large proportion pro-portion are now full-fledged profes- sionals. Brief though the time is since the camps were inaugurated, five boys have already reached major-league rosters. There will be NO TUITION CHARGE, but boys will be expected to furnish their own uniforms, gloves and shoes, without which they may not take part in games. They must ! also pay their own transportation ! and living expenses. Those who ap-j ap-j pear ready to start in professional j ball will be offered contracts in the Cincinnati organization. It is hoped that all players will profit, however, from their attendance at the camps. Application blanks may be obtained obtain-ed at The Citizen office. |
