Jaycees open season with polished lineup for Garden City
Rambler and veterans headline Garden City in an opening exhibition against the Wichita Bo-Jets. Seven of nine starters were with the B-J team last year, five played college ball this spring, and Ron Ratliff is the lone newcomer. Pitching depth is a concern, with Heier the lone proven hurler returning and others unproven in nine innings. Ratliff impressed Loyd in a pretryout, arriving at 3:30 am for a tryout, while Kinney and Richhart will not play this summer. The Ban Johnson circuit expands this year as Scott City withdraws from the Southwest Kansas Junior Legion, delaying Garden City’s home opener to June 13.

Pro Golfers Seek a Czar to Oversee Tour Prize Fund
Dallas golfers vote to create a tournament manager position funded by prize money totaling 21 000 to be raised from forthcoming events starting with the National Open. Toski chairs the committee, and the manager will oversee relations with sponsors and report to the PGA executive committee.
