Local Babe Ruth clubs load up on draft picks
Ottawa Babe Ruth League held its third annual player draft for the 1971 season. Teams announced new players across all clubs including Lions Eagles DeMolay Kiwanis Rotary Elks VFW and more, with some rosters expanding to equalize total players. A bumper sticker sale in April will raise about 350 to cover accident insurance, after the league donated 1,000 for dugouts at Orlis Cox Field. Birth certificates must be turned in before the season, and unassigned 13 to 15-year-olds should contact Gary Kuntz to join a team.

Orioles' Weave rlooms atop predicted AL arc
Earl Weaver's Baltimore Orioles are favored to win a third straight pennant as they headline the 1971 American League projections. Baltimore leads the East with Detroit, Boston, New York, Cleveland, and Washington following. Oakland tops the West, followed by California, Minnesota, Chicago, Kansas City, and Milwaukee. The writer foresees Baltimore in four games over Oakland in the pennant series, with key stars like Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Frank Robinson, and Boog Powell contributing. Reggie Jackson is expected to boost Oakland, while Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, and Chuck Dobson anchor the A's pitching. The Tigers and Red Sox are noted contenders in the East, with Mickey Lolich and Luis Aparicio among the noted players. The Yankees are pegged as a strong run producers but with questioned scoring.
