Joe Koyanagi Takes Over Westerns9 Manager Post
Spring can't be too far off. Not when they begin to* plan for the next baseball season.
Last Sunday, the Westerns Haseball Club held their first li>51 powwow to gather the chieftains of their several tribes; and make preparation for the ooming ball season.
Although this is still a little .premature to give a concrete picture or to crystal-gaze as to what's in, store when "play ball" echoes across the Earlscourt diamond,: there are some indications even at this stage as to how things are shaping up.
For instance, two of the big cogs won't be around this season. They won't be completely out of the Westerns picture but they will be taking a much less active part in the .diamond proceedings. A new man will be behind the mask this year as the most familiar figure in the Westerns .trappings, Koei Mitsui, catcher, captain, organizer, sponsor, and pretty well , anything else that goes tip to' make both the team and the front office, is stepping; down. It was Mitsui who put the first Nisei team into city competition in Toronto. That was three years ago, today the '.Westerns club is. thinking iii the terms of 'five affiliated teams. : ;�... , � '}"" ,-.- . v ��':
Also heading for the showers is; Mike Majiino, manager and utility "player.; After, two seasons as manager of the Westerns, he is giving up the. reins and wi.ll remain with the club in an. advisory capacity. After 'a long active cavorting on the dia-
monds that started on the Powell Grounds, then to; Koveisiok? and finally Toronto, a player who made all-star teams in Vancouver isclosing his looker. . Thus'twomore 'fiUv.ilia'r-iuiiv.os from the .'A.sahi box-s.coro' of a decade-agtv pas* from the Nidi's favorite'sport-scene.".
'Moving.' up and stepping .into the managerial shoos will- bo Joe Koyanagi calcher-outfieUler of the Westerns, Last year -when the Westerns �'.expanded-, into., a four-team stable, lie handled iho yearling group;, the Bantams,' .at the bottom of the Westerns a.ge-' ladder. This year he moves
How many teams will, be in the fold is the 'mimber one problem . Ever si nee; t he Westerns _were oTgani/.t?d,; they've added teams each year. Last year there were foiir teams, but this yeai\ they plan to.add a fifth;
However, 'in order to give more youngsters - an opportunity to �play, it costs money to properly equip them. If sufficient funds are "available then .there/ is no question that the Westerns empire will expand.into five' teams; the Seniors, Juniors, Juvenile^ Midgets and Hantams. The new addition is the Juvenile team, .however'..'if- only four teams are to bo 'organized; the Midgets, will be dropped with last year's Midgets, .the Jmost successful team of the group, jiioving up into the Juvenile, class. ,: .
.Joe Akiyama /will be with the Juniors again and Ken Kutsu-kake will manage the Juveniles. 'As yet the Midget? and Bantams are without managers.
