make plans, if Keene is to see some
sport during the season.
During the war sport in Keene
waned, as it did nearly everywhere else.
Reviving during the Sunset league sea
son last summer to some extent, it was
not until this winter, when MANY of the
best basketball quintets in the East
have been seen in action against the
Legion five, that there was any especial
y noticeable interest in sports. But
the attendance at the basketball this
winter and the interest in the sport
has shown that it will be hard for
many hundreds of Keeneites to get
along this summer without some really
good baseball
There is talk of a sort of Sunset
league, which has been tried here and.
last year, particularly, furnished some
very good sport. 1t probably would
matter little just what sort of a league
IS formed, or whether the teams PLAY
ing are all local or secured from out
side. There are dozens of good ball
players here, enough to make up several
teams
1t ought to be possible to conduct a
league of several teams, either picked
from local industries or representing
different towns and cities near hv, as
the old Twin State league did. And 1t
is believed that there is sufficient inter-
est to warrant either, and perhaps
both.
What is necessary, though. is a suit.
able playing field. not too far from the
center of the city. Even this, it is IN.
derstood, is contemplated, and it surely
IS to be hoped that it can be arranged
for. 1t will not do. however, to let all
plans for field and teams 90 toe
long. A program may well be outlined
soon.

Thousands Of boys nowadays who are
only in their teens are leaving school
because the dollars offered by the shops
overshadow the value of the school
book in their minds, but many who
have lived and learned find that in the
twenties it is those who completed the
prescribed period of schooling that get
the best paving jobs. Every year a
boy adds to his schooling helps to
double his earning capacity. Don't let
him mortgage his future for the pres
