World Series To Open In Hanna Rotary Clash
The opening game of the Little World Series is set for Monday at 5:36 PM between the Hanna Rotary club and the Odd Fellows. A second game follows Wednesday, with a possible Friday finale if needed. Both teams show two players above .300 and the Rotarians may hold a slight hitting edge aided by Megtners pitching. The league, still young, has kept a tight $2,400 salary cap, steady sportsmanship, and strong local support as fans await the first pitch. The Green Brothers Athletic club beat the Lecomptons 10 to 0, and plays McLouth tomorrow afternoon.
