ENOUGH BALLS TO RUN
 LEAGUES BAY YEARS
Also 52 Miles of Bats-Furnished
 American Troops by Y. M. c. A.

On the basis of there being played l50 games for the season and allowing five new balls for each game, enough baseballs have been furnished the Amer ican troops by the Army Y. NJ: c. A. to run the National league and the American association for 347 years Allowing two new balls for each game, there were enough baseballs to play a series of 9 sand-lot games for 7.149 clubs.
