October 10. 1957 10 Cents Sugar House Organizations Drive For League Baseball For City An organized effort to bring Pa-cific Coast League baseball back to Salt Lake is being spearheaded by a ugar House attorney Chas. W. Romney. Letters and resolutions outlin-ing the reasons Salt Lake should and could support a team in the coast league have been sent to presidents of the coast group, of the National and American Lea-gues; to the presidents of the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New York Giants, the Boston Red Sox and other key men. Romney is asking each civic or-ganization in the Salt Lake Valley to send similar resolutions and letters. "We're sure that we can get a team here if we have some help," said Romney. The Sugar House Chapter, Sons of Utah Pioneers, and the Cham-ber of Commerce have led out in writing Horace C. Stoneham, pre-sident of the Giants at the Polo Grounds, New York City; to Walt Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn; and Les-lie O'Connor, Pacific Coast Lea-gue president at 4S2 Flood Build-- ', ing, San Francisco 2, California. "Baseball will bring increased business to Salt Lake and Sugar i House," said Mr. Romney," and that means everyone will benefit. However, we need the --cooperation, ' of all the civic clubs and all base-- , ball fans." ; The best way to help, he said. was to write to one of the base-- . ball officials named, urging Salt Lake City as the logical site for a big-leag- farm team. r ff'4- - ' , " I " f s, ' . ; :: ' 'V I .A. b. : 1 " - v: .: A- - v-.- Mr. and Mrs. Will Walker will celebrate their golden wedding at open house.
