CUBANS LACK GAME
Winter League No More and Fans
Turn Attention to Racing.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-Basebali is
at a low ebb In Cuba after a long
spell in which the sport reached great
heights, and then gradually tapered
on to almost nothing. The winter
league, which brought TO the front
such stars as Marsans, Mendez, Ped,
rosa. Almeida and others. and resulted
In a great rivalry between the teams,
has died out.
Almandares Park, where the games
hourished for years, with natives will
ing to bet on anything and every.
thing, Is no more. ~he field has been
cut up for other purposes. and until
somebody comes forward and fts up
another park Havana will be without
such bass ball as the natives formerly
enjoyed.
For the past two seasons interest
In the sport has been waning, due to
a great extent to industrial condi-
tions. and last winter the players got
very little for their work.
The advent OF horse racing to the
island also has had Its effect on base
ball. Great crowds viewed the games
played by major league clubs from
the States, and II probably will take
another Invasion before the Cubans
again show the enthusiasm which
they formerly manifested toward the
sport.
