Is sometimes likely to drag without a
big inducement like the STAR trophies
to keep it going.
The organization of the league among
the parochfal school pupils is meeting
with general favor among the Catholic
clergy. OF all sports baseball gener-
ally appeals to the clergy. as most of
them in their college days either played
the game or took an interest in it for
the sake of their alma matters.

of the Church of the Blessed Sacra-

results will be beneficial.
