 There was no exaggeration when reported, two weeks ago, that Young America in the local schools is pos. sessed of baseball. Teams from St. EdWar1'1 and the public school con. Oluded A series of five games last Fri day. three of which were victories for the former school. Triumphs always create their own gay coloring, but she glory of the above victory is in- creased by the fact that the games were played on grounds as familiar Go the red school players as their pockets or the palms' of their hands. In order Co avoid any disadvantage to either side, another series of three out of Eve games will be played at the fair grounds. The opening con. test will take place at 4 80 Thursday afternoon. This is case where en- cOuTagement. from the sporting angle, is almost necessary. for in the young stsEs is talent which. if nurtured, will make impossible the importation of college men to hang laurels on the efforts of she regular Stafford team. q
