Otis Plans Decoration Day Baseball Challenge
Manager Harry Kelly of Otis writes that Otis wants a game with Barstow on Decoration Day at the Otis diamond. Barstow may add Daggett players if desired, or Otis may challenge Victorville or a small team if Barstow declines. Otis has a fast squad and aims to play Las Vegas on the first Sunday in June. A proposed July plan would see Barstow Daggett and Otis consolidate to face Victorville Oro Grande and Hesperia. Barstow expects to play at Daggett next Sunday.
