 Mir. Gibbons related a part Of the stormy history of Venzelos, dating back to the period when he first began the practice of law ID Crete after having Finished his education in Athens. It was lin this island a part of the Turkish em- pire, that Venzelos raised the standard Of revolution in an attempt to bring the island under the control of free Greece and 1t was here, according to pr.

Up until last Saturday some
hope OF a baseball league OF the
industrial plants of the city had
been maintained, but it was def.
nitely learned Saturday that not
enough teams could be mustered
to make a creditable league. The
Industrial Athletic association, set
on foot by the "Y' early In the
spring to promote inter.plant com.
petition, undertook to put this base.
ball proposition over, but owing to
the depressed condition OF most OF
the local plants where bali play.
ers have been turloughed or have
left the employ entirely, 1t was
found impossible to secure enough
teams TO form a league.
There are several fairly good
teams representing the plants OF
the city and with these as nu.
cleus 1t was thought possible to set
going o five or six team league by
ailoWtng other plants which did
not have enough players for team
TO combine, but this proved unsuc.
cessful, and no further attempt will
be made this season to organize an
industrial league, unless business
looks up considerably later in the
season, giving plants opportunity
TO take back men on their payrolls.
There are a plenty OF teams in
Fatrmont other than industrial
teams and there has been some de.
mand for a city league with no re.
structions on eligibility.
The Industrial Athletic associa.
ton will busy itself with inter.
plant competition OF another ma.
ture this season. An Industrial
track and field meet is being
planned for June and other sports
such as tennis, quoits, and yolley
ball are being encouraged and pro.
