He was pitcher-president of Yakima's Western International league club last year. Soriano broke into baseball with his home-town Seattle Rainiers and later went to the Major leagues before coming back west after the war.
In announcing his retirement, he indicated he may join the Merchant Marines. He served as a ship's captain during World War II.

SHEKBEOOKE, Que., June 3 — The city council ruled Saturday that unshelled peanuts are a fire hazard and banned their sale at the Sherbrooke baseball park.
The aldermen say the fans drop the shells on the wooden floor of the stands,' scuff cigarette butts into the shells and could start a fire.
Salted peanuts are okay.
