Dear Phog:

Sorry to hear you are baseball coach as I know
how tough you are to beat at basketball and I expect you
will have these ball players raring just like young broncos.

Nevertheless, I am looking forward to the
competition in our coming series. Our Friday game will
begin at 4 otclock and the Saturday game at 2 o'clock. This
will give you a little more time after the Saturday session
to get headed on your way back home,

You will hit at the diamond for the background
any time that you care to come out and up to 3:25. At that
time I would like for you to take your infield practice and
we will follow with ours, then allowing our grounds keeper
six or seven minutes to brush the diamond and get it ready
for the ball game.

I have secured the services of Pete Knudson, high
school coach near here who has umpired and played in the
Western League; and the other man will be Curt Daib, a minister
near here, a regular fellow and the perennial umpire of the
State High School Tournament. I am sure that you don't know
either of these men, consequently I haventt written you before
making the appointment. :

I hope that the weather and everything else will be
satisfactory.

With a host of good wishes, I remain

Sincerely yours,
aL ee
