G0OD POSSIBILITY OF JUNEAU - KETCHIKAN Officials of the Juneau Basetall| BASEBALL SERIES | League today received a letter from ‘1 Harry Ludwigsen of the Ketchikan | Athletic Association discussing the | ¢ matter of Juneau joining the Na- jonal Baseball Congress. The Con- || gress is an association of amateur | baseball teams throughout the US.|; Ludwigsen also suggested an e: change of games between Ketchi kan and Juneau teams. Ketchikan has one strong traveling team at| present and has a home-and-home | series scheduled with Sitka. The suggestion is that Juneau schedule | the same type of series with Ketchi: kan. The idea of the series is to| schedule a double header and wait | for good weathrer so that the team | may travel by air returning home | that night. | Juneau league officials consider | this a good idea because it will be| financially possible for the players | to make these double header trips with the least possible expense through the elimination of over- night layovers.
