Keep This an 0pen-Air City.

The personal news and gossip of
the Government Departments" as
told in the Sunday issue of this
paper, has set forth few items
which promised more health and
spirit than that of yesterday which
told of lively interest in the Depart
mental Baseball League. Clean
sport, bringing a portion of the
workmen together on the field (the
more the better), and the remainder
on the side-Iines. is a wholly health
full diversion from the days work.
In the end, if properly managed, it
will make for better service
throughout the whole circle of en-
ployes affected.
That the Sunday School League
has not continued in full force is
the subject for corresponding re-
gret. Nothing saner or more intel
ligent has been proposed as an adj
junct to the regular work Of the
modern church. The players were
required to maintain a reasonable
average of attendance at the
schools; the league was well enough
organized to keep the sport clean
and fair; the interest was wide
spread and keen. It is most I'M
fortunate that all the school of
fcers have not been able to act in
full recognition of these facts.
