Amateur baseball in a year or SO may
be real amateur baseball In Its strict
est sense with fifteen, sixteen. and sew
enteen-year-old youngsters playing. II
plans now being considered by the
amateur association Of the District are
to be carried through.
Two kid leagues recently started here
among the younger players have been
fairly successful. and have opened up
the possibility of infusing new life
into the hardening arteries Of the ANA
teur baseball as now played.
For the past few seasons the amateur
association has noted a waning interest
In league battles. a decreasing number
OF players In action, ana a slackening
off of leagues in competition.
There used to be as many as thirteen
leagues under the amateur commission.
and some five playing independent base
ball. There are now six leagues under
the association and three or four play
ing Independent baseball in regular
though shorter seasons.
1.-THE time has come when the fifteen
and sixteen year-old lads must be en-
couraged.' says President Robert IL
Young, Of the amateur association. II
have noted with interest the start OF the
junior leagues here and believe we can
look to the kids to put new life In the
amateur ranks.
Il have two boys myself. one sixteen
and one fourteen. and would like to see
them playing league baseball under GU
pervision. / believe II would be q good
thing II we could get the youngsters in
line for leagues under this association or
another. The time Is ripe for some new
blood
President Young has looked over the
situation pretty carefully " Sna rs p

A good many of the amateurs now
playing have been at IT for the rast

less interest among the players anu
certainly less among the fans, some

never held the crowds this year or
several seasons ago.
True there has been general flock,
ing to the Municipal Swimming Pool

to be chirping IT'S swan song. Unless

Smelling In Bulacan.

A primitive iron smelling industry,
evidently Of Chinese origin, exists in
Bulacan,. a province of the island Of
Luzon. Magnetic and hematite ores,
found in the locality, are smelted by
the natives in small bamboo cased
blast furnaces of soft clay bricks set
in clay, each furnace being seven and
one-half feet high and five feet in ex-
ternal diameter, with a conical inner
cavity, tapering from forty to twenty
inches. The furnace has a single clay
tuyere and a Chinese double acting
hand blower made from a hollow tree
trunk and fitted with a feather packed
wooden piston. An average charge is
ffty-fiye pounds OF ore and ninety-flve
of charcoal. no fux being used. The
iron made is cast directly into molds
for plowshares and plow points, and
the product of a furnace is about 500
pounds OF castings daily.

OF particular interest to women is
the fact that Williamson's carries the

The spring trade is already alive, and
it is none too soon for women to be

The fine list of shoe brands car
