ON THE INSIDE

LEWISTON IS LOOKING UP
A couple of one time Tri-City Braves did a mighty job for Lewiston in helping the Broncs put the blast on the Fresno State College team 4-1 the other day. Artie Wilson pounded out a triple for one run-and Nick DeLuca, whom Lewiston has just purchased from Tri-City, led the attack witn two hits in three trips. The Broncs seem to be shaping up much better than we at first thought they would.
DON'T FORGET BASEBALL FEED
Salem expects 1,000. . .at least. . .when they hold their annual welcome luncheon for their Senators. While the one being sponsored here by the Kennewick Jaycees for our WIL Braves may not attract quite that many the first year . . you can bet it will the second after the word gets around. In case you're interested the date is April 28 in the cafeteria of the new Kennewick High School.
JOTS AND DOTS. . .HERE AND THERE
Charlie Petersen, ex-pilot of the Tri-City Braves, is being pusshed hard by a new Canadian league to come up and manage one of their teams this year. The season opens in May and two of the six clubs are currently dickering with Charlie. . .but so far he says "no."

Carrier Birds To Air Game
VENTURA, Calif., April 7— Baseball fans here are promised a birds' fly report by carrier pigeon on Friday's exhibition game in Ontario between the Ventura Braves and the Fresno Cardinals.
When it appeared the Western Union strike would cancel Radio Station KVEN's plans for a recreated broadcast of'the contest between the two members of the California State League, Sportscaster Jerry Palmer received an assist from the Ventura Racing Pigeon Club.
Members offered a supply of birds; one of which will be released at the end of each inning to carry reports back home.
Since the birds refuse to fly at night, the starting time, has been moved up to 1 p.m. to give the carriers time to make the 100 mile flight before nightfall.
So for this time, the home runs won't all be by the players.
