Baseball Becoming More Popular Than
 Ever There Since Start of War.

With discouraging comment on all sides as to the effect that war by this country will have on American sports, It is somewhat refreshing to turn to at least one instance where the pres ent war in Europe would seem to have benefited sports in no little degree
 The news comes from Venezuela, South America, and is to the effect that the magnitude of the sugar in dustry in the continent south of us, resulting from the demand growing out of the war, has attracted many Cuban baseball players to the conti- nent, and these men have organized baseball teams and. started to play the great American game
 All the South American countries whose soil is adapted to the cultiva- ton of sugar are sending to Cuba Tor expert workmen, and many of those mond starts in the Pearl of the An titles. As a result, baseball promises to become at least as well known, if not popular, in Latin America as 1t is in the West Indies The South Americans are sport loving people. and once the fascination of the old cry Play baIl." fastens itself on them, there should be a wave of en- thusiastic response throughout the continent The turnstiles at bullfghts many, would be a consummation de- voutly to be desired
 Thus we see that the war, which unquestionably has done much to stif1e sport abroad, may be of lasting benefit to at least one continent, and indirectly may be the cause of a re- newed interest in baseball in this country It is not beyond the range of possibilities that the worlds series will hereafter be a truly international affair and that the real championship of the diamond may not be settled until the northern and southern hem ispheres of America have battled for the title.

sortOn Progress Club Has Dinner at

outlying annex of Providence, because
about dozen Providence families
have summer residences there, and
lust now The big estate of Mr.. Glad
ding is under process of construction.
Besides, Thompson is fayorite drive
for Providence automobile parties, be,
ing a convenient ride from that city.

up to the fact that Thompson presents
a no less desirable "trip from the Bay
State city. So the department heads
of the Norton Company of Worcester
held their monthly dinner at the Yer
non stiles Inn, Monday evening. They
had a fine steak and chicken dinner
followed by an address by Harry e.
Smith, Worcester city treasurer, who
spoke about how Worcester takes care
of its finances. Seventeen persons
were present and all felt that they had
delightful time, expressing a desire
TO return.
Thompson therefore is in line for
further visits from Worcester. 1t is
10 be hoped that Thompson NAV be-
come as popular in Worcester as it is
in Providence.
