Wateryille Mail: The attendance at the
games nlaysd by the Remedies with other
teams of the New England League in this
civ has been very discouraging to the
manaaement There has been paying
crowd at just one of the games. In view
of the fine sport to be had out of the game
as 1t is played in this league, this fact is
much to be regretted. There seems I'M
fortunately to be but little base ball en-
thusiasm here, and there is danger that
the few who do love the game will have to

reason for the apparent lack of interest
shown here may be due to the fact that
this is the first time that professional ball
has been played in this city. The college
games have attracted only certain class
of spectators, the students and thor
friends, the general public taking but
little interest in them. 1t is too bad that
more enthusiasm cannot be evoked. Base
ball is one of the very finest of outdoor
sports and the few games scheduled for
this city ought to be generously patronized.
The chances are that the opportunity
offered this season will be the last Water
Vile will have for several years to see good
ball, as the cost of running first class
team is too great to admit of the manage
ment's playing to loss. The city is big
enough to turn out paying crowd and
the only way to get that crowd would seem
to be for the lovers of the game to ust
their influence in inducing their friends
who have not yet learned what royal sport
it is to come out and see the games and Sc
widen the circle of enthusiasts. Water.
vile is not distractingly gay during the
summer months, and it is to be regretted
that little enlivenment cannot be had
through base ball.
