Show Baseball 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 the baseball park, Derks Field, in shape to handle a crowd of 10,000 or more for the opening game. First game in Utah will be played on 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 just $5.00 per share and is limited to residents of the state of Utah only. Requests for stock should be mailed to the Salt Lake City Baseball Carporation, Derks Field, Salt Lake City. This will be the first community com-munity 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 unamously backing the bigger Bees. Governor Clyde says: "The whole state of Utah will benefit from having Pacific Coast. League baseball here. The affiliation aff-iliation with the major cities in this league is healthy and beneficial. Interest in the team, I'm confident will be state-wide and a real unifying Influence. I hope the Bees become to Utah what the Milwaukee Braves have become to Wisconsin. Big time baseball should draw many visitors to our state and provide an attraction for these tourists to stay longer." |
