may properly be said to have cracked
opsn the baseball season of 1919. One
year ago many predicted that base
ball would be as dead as a doornail
by this time. Quite the contrary
happened. The great war discovered
that baseball is both an antidote and
an aid to war. The men play 1t con-
tinually right in the trenches; all
nations are falling for its fascina-
tion, and this season will. therefore,
see the development of many good
teams in Harrisburg.
Aside from the interest in profess
sional and semiprofessionaI pastime-
ing, this city should support the am
ateurs who are doing their best to
give a good article of ball. The
