LONDON CHESTER PEGG DIAMONDS "JR" JR. CLUB The junior club, to be known as the CHESTER PEGG DIAMONDS, will have a strong entry in their league this year. Popular Irv. Hodgson will handle the club and from the talent available it is hoped that a worthy pennant contender will come from our fair city of London. Although we have been out of the junior baseball picture for a number of years, the enthusiasm shown by the junior players speaks well for this 1956 edition of the London Chester Pegg Diamonds junior club.

THE EAGER BEAVER BASEBALL ASSOCIATION

GO MAJORS GO. A number of us will be up there with you in a few years. Our league has expanded from twelve teams last year to twenty-four this year. The PEE/iVEE division (12 and under} has ten teams, the BANTAM (15 and under} has ten teams and to top it all we have formed a JUVENILE LEAGUE of four teams. These boys are 16 to 18. The EAGER BEAVER BASEBALL ASSOCIATION entertains a total number of four hundred and thirty-two boys plus seventy-two managers and coaches. The brand of ball played would surprise the most rabid baseball fan. Hope to have some of your fans out to see us perform. Give us a couple of more years and we will give you all the players you need. SO GO MAJORS GO. See Top-Notch... TELEVISION Sports Coverage on
