ORGANIZED BASEBALL.
Has Proved a Losing Venture in Put
 nam.

Putnam may not be in the Eastern Connecticut league next season. Or ganized baseball has not been a pay ing proposition and after trying for two seasons to make money and keep a team good enonugh to finish stronog in the race for the pennant. those who have been interested financially are at the present time not particularly en- thusiastic about sticking by the league for another year. While the present dissatisfaction may be dissipated dur ing the long winter months the out look now is that the c. A. C. team will play independent ball next season. Of course, another team could be organ ized in Putnam to play in the league. but the supporting of two teams looks like a hazardous proposition in view of past experiences. Putnam is as sured of a good team drs4any event, be it within or withoutgthe orsaniza- tion. NF
