The organization no longer looks like an attraction for those who have promoted Q team here the past three seasons, probably because no profits have accrued to them after three years of harnmering around the circuit. However, Putnam is good baseball town. has many ardent fol- lowers Of the game, and that latent germ within them will be demanding something besides box scores before the season grows many weeks older.
 Putnam wants a team, and probably will have one, but just who will or sanize. manage and play one is not apparent at.present.
