letics OF the high schools Of this part
Of the state are now working. on
plans for the organization Of a base
ball league of some sort Of oreaui-
cation to promote track and field
athletics. There seems to be consid-
cradle of leaning towards base ball
which may be due largely to the
familiarity with the national game.
Then too. base ball may have an
other advantage in that 1t may lead
to the organization of local base
ball clubs composed Of local men
who meet for regular practice and
play chiefly for the sport of the
game. Matched games could be
played from time to time by teams
representing the various clubs. An
organization of this type should
mean more to village or city both
from the standpoint Of sportsman
ship. physical exercise and training
than the best professional team pos
sibly could.
