"The Wittenberg Enterprise"
Thursday, May 9th, 1946
~~~~~~~~~~
A new and entirely different baseball setup has been worked out this year in the interests of the Shawano County and Wolf River Valley Baseball leagues.
At a meeting held in Clintonville, April 3rd, A.N. Brunner, president of the Shawano County League for the past 22 years, unraveled a plan which was accepted with enthusiasm. The directors at the meeting decided that this organization be called the Badger Amateur Baseball Association. The officers are composed of a Board of Counselors, three from each division elected by their respective teams, and a President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer, who are elected by the Board of Counselors.
The officers elected for this year are: President, A.A. Brunner, Leopolis; Vice-President, William Wulk, Marion; Secretary-Treasurer, Melvin Lemke, Bowler.
The twenty-four teams in the association are divided into four 6 team divisions, two in each league. Each team plays a home and home series in its respective division and one series of six games (3 home and 3 away) with the other division in it's own league.
