Reports from various parts Of the
country indicate the summer will be
the biggest ever in, amateur sports.
AT Dallas, Texas. plans haye been
made for erection OF municipal sta:
dunn to seat 10000 persons. The sta
dunn will cost 500, 600. be fitted Tor
all kinds OF sports and every resident
will have access TO It.
At Kansas City, Mo-, an amateur
baseball league is being formed along
the lines OF successful leagues IN cit
les that took part last year and the
year before in the tournament for the
national amateur Championship.
At Cincinnati, o., the Amateur as.
ISOLATION has decided to enter the race
for the national championship.
A good way to measure the growth
OF amateur sports is by comparison
with organized baseball, recognized
for years as the great national game.
At Cleveland, home Of the national
amateur champions, interest in ANA
teur games was SO great attendance
at American league and American as
ISOLATION games was materially affect
ed. The amateurs were not entirely
responsible. but the Cleveland profess
sional teams went bankrupt.
