Pioneers Struggles With Heightens Size Threat
Elyria’s big men troubled the Pioneers as Chester Ross bucked a slow start to score 26, his second 25 plus game this season. Coach noted two or three bad minutes per game, aiming to eliminate them. Ross supplied interior scoring after Reichenbach moved him down low, while Chester’s passing vision added value. Saturday night wins and late-season pushes loom as key trends for the team.

Chance to break through with the Indians in spring training
Cleveland prospect Bob Chance, a 23 year old left handed hitter who throws right, will get a thorough spring training trial with the Indians in Tucson Arizona to win a major league post. He appeared in 16 games at the end of 1968 hitting .285 with 15 hits, five runs, four doubles, two home runs and seven RBIs. The Statesboro Georgia native starred in the Eastern League with Charleston and led in doubles and total bases while also posting big numbers in El Paso Burlington and Charleston in prior seasons. His main question remains his defensive position with the club.
