Newspaper Page TextTHE PEMBROKE STATE BANK “Big Enough to Serve You Small Enough to Know You” 5% ON TIME DEPOSITS Member FDIC Volume 67, Number 45, THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL, Pembroke, Ga. 31321 Pembroke Hoy Attends The Mickey Owen Baseball School H A Jr a|| 1 - - , - M I ROBERT ELLISON Robert Ellison, son of Mrs. Mary Blanton just completed baseball training at Mickey Owen Baseball School, the largest boys baseball training school in the world. The School is located at Miller, Missouri, and is equip ed with seven playing fields, four of which are lighted for night play. Boys come to Mickey Owen Baseball School to become a better hitter, better fielder or to pick up advice and hints from experienced coaching personnel. Robert played m at least two games per day, weather permitting, following daily practice sessions. His favorite position is second base. The school, Owen said, has two main objectives. One is to help boys with little or no experience who have been cut from their tometown boys’ league teams to develop enough so they can make those teams the following year. Our second goal is to instruct more experienced boys in the fundamentals of major league plays and positions to make them more val uable to their tome town, league, and school teams. Robert will probably feel the same as former Yankee great Phil Rizzuto, “For any youngster with baseball in his blood, I can’t imagine a better experience than with Mickey Owen Baseball School.” Warren Family Reunion Held Met »' * • ■ r F . taß : W n I?
