"POP" FORSYTHE BACK WITH TWO BASEBALLS WITH PLAYERS' NAMES
Bill (Pop) Forsythe is about the happiest man in Juneau today. He returned yesterday from a short trip to Riverside, Calif., bringing with him two baseballs on which are written the names of the Indian and Beaver players.
The names look like a complete lineup for a game, players with coaches added. Familiar names are in ink covering the two baseballs.
Forsythe, who was one of the popular umps last season on the local diamond, hobnobbed with the Cleveland Indians and Portland Beavers players and witnessed some remarkable exhibition games while on his California trip.
"Pop" will gladly show his autographed baseballs to all who care to see them.
