Kansas Legion to sponsor first Class B baseball tourney
The Kansas American Legion will sponsor both Class A and Class B baseball tournaments this year. Plans for eligibility and a Class B tournament site will be decided at the January 8 Baseball Commission Meeting, with district chairmen meeting at Junction City Post Home. George Medill of Leavenworth leads the effort to attract bids from posts for the first Class B in Kansas. The aim is to let small towns compete more fairly against similar towns, while the Class A tournament for 1967 has been awarded to Marysville in August.
