Olympia Finally Enters State League
Olympia fans showed strong enthusiasm for a baseball team this summer after a Chamber of Commerce meeting in Olympia. Aberdeen's Dick Hoettiger helped, with $1,000 already raised there toward a $2,500 goal. W. R. Patton is likely to head the organizing committee. Aberdeen hopes to field a team with a playing manager, and several fast players, including Dick Botttiger, are noted. If Olympia joins, Aberdeen expects a team this year and plans to raise significant funds, aiming for a May start and a schedule through Labor Day.
