July 31, 1962 "Looking
Forward - Red Boucher, manager of the state champion Pan Alaska Gold
Panners baseball team, expresses his determination to take his team to
Wichita, Ka., for the National Baseball Congress tournament for
semi-professional state winners, which begins Aug. 17. Boucher has said
that sending the team will cost $7,500. A public subscription
campaign has been started here to raise the money, and nearly $2,000 has
been collected already. Boucher said the team should leave here
Aug. 13 if it plans to attend the tournament." (The team DID go,
and came within one run of winning the championship, ending the season
with a national second-place finish)
