A correspondent from Boston
writes very sadly about the decay Of
base bail. We think he is unneces.
sarily worried. Base ball is still IL
mighty good game and gives sport,
exercise and fun to lot of Young
men who could not get it in any
other way. The contests between
the towns stimulate friendly rivalry
and promote healthy feeling of
local patriotism. The boys get to-
gether and learn to know more Of
their ncighbors and each other.
The games are without rowdy ism,
betting or drinking, or any disagree
able feeling, and they furnish grea'
deal of healthy enjoyment to all.
We consider base ball an excellent
thing for the town and should be
sorry to sec any decline in the inter.
est felt for it. Happily there isn't
any decline or decay here. AS for
the troop, efforts are SAID to Lave
been made to organize one here.
The Age believes in that, too. We
can't have too many good things,
and we should like to see the militia
scheme pushed along
