BASEBALL SEASON is
NEXT AFTER SPRING
Rumors of Diamond Activities Drif-
ting in From Various Towns
in This Part of State.

Below the Mason and Dixon line
the big league baseball teams are
busy at their spring training camps.
lesser lights of the baseball world and
their hackers are in training at their
favorite rendezvous. From various
towns in the western and southwes-
tern part of the state come rumors
of prospective baseball activities. A
plans laid for the coming season. Ac-
cording to present indications. all
salaried teams for small towns will
be passe this summer.
Each spring solemn oaths are taken
and pledges made in every enthusias-
tic baseball town of around 1000 in
habitants that there will be no more
salaried teams. A pitcher and catch
er are designated as the only two
who will rate checks at the end Of
the month. But a season seldom
passes but the heat of the contests
draw in lot of semi-pros for the
deciding games of the season. Pres
ent financial conditions and the grow
ing feeling against semi-pros, it is
expected, will largely do away with
this custom the coming season.
While no concentrated effort or
united action has yet been forthcom-
ing in Morris there is already con-
siderable talk and interest manifes-
ted in where Morris will be when the
Jumps" start announcing batteries in
this section of the state. According
to local enthusiasts, Morris should be
represented on the diamond in no
mean way this summer and those re-
presenting Morris should constitute
a part of the present population of
the city, and with the exception per-
haps of battery, there should be no
salary contracts in evidence. It is
pointed out that there is material
aplenty in the city to put good fast
aggregation in the field for the town.
It is further expounded that the
sport should be played for sport and
not for capturing any state honors.
A fair share Of victories is all that
should be- expected and those, from a
team of home players, should be
worth a greater number garnerel by
a band of professionals, it is main
'tained. =
1t is very probable that the. next
few weeks will see some action in
the direction of mastering financial
and moral aid toward launching a
baseball team of local players for the
coming season.

as soon as necessary funds can be
found.
The proposed improvement is on a
and should be hard-surfaced because
Of the probable high cost of putting
on gravel surface. After S. H. Hud-
son, a Benson attorney, presented the
matter, the state officials virtually
aeceded to the position taken and
added they had not forgotten the pub
lie spirit in the section which
brought donations of right-of-way
nor the issuance by the county of the
maximum of trunk highway reim-
bursement bonds.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, was unavoidably de-
tanned and unable to meet the delega-
tions, and the matter was taken up
with John H. Mullen, deputy COM
missioner and chief highway engin-
eer, and D. w. Webster, a state con-
struction engineer, formerly in
charge of this division and friendly
to the project. The officials gave as
surance that every effort will be made
to make the improvement as soon as
it can be financed.

While the snow may not be all

other things working to the CON
trary there is only one true sign
that spring is here and that sign

has proclaimed the season before
