Needs Support

Any athletic team needs support.
Students are taken to the grid con-
tests in special cars. Why not the
same to the baseball games? Base
ball has not received the boosting
from high school authorities that II
really deserves. Interest must be
aroused and it is largely up 10 the
schools. Youth IS easily led and
if 1t becomes the fashion TO see the
ball games then the attendance will
take care of itself. It has not been
the custom to charge for the games.
and as baseball is non-supporting 1t
has been allowed to drift along.
Such a condition can be remedied.
At Technical If the diamond Is put
on the athletic field it will be great
boost for the game. The other schools
should pep things up a bit. A tag
system could at least be tried out,
such as is used in track meets. The
tags could be sold at school ana worn
at the game. showing that the spec
tator had paid. Just little boosting,
that's all high school baseball needs.
Game Is Exciting
The students who do not know much
about the game would soon learn.
And those who are used to watching
football and basketball would find
out that the battle between pitcher
and batter is every bit as exciting
every bit as much a test of strength
and skill and nerve as the crash Of
bodies in football or the dash and fer
vor of the net sport.
Shortridge has a team this year and
will be the first Of the local schools TO
get into action in a regularly sched-
uled contest. The north side nine will
play at Bloomington Saturday.
Coach Julius has solved the trans
portation problem of getting his play
ers TO a diamond after school by OBJ
tanning a truck which will take the
players to and from practice. That
seems like a small item, but It Is a
very important one

Working For CossaCk
Bill In Illinois
(By Federated PresS)

Chicago--A call for conscientious
citizens who have the welfare of their
state at heart" is issued by the Manu-
facturers News, speaking for big
business. The call is an appeal for
supreme patriotic service. Under the
caption Support the State Police Bill,
it reads:
every citizen in Illinois should
heartily sunnort the state police bill
which will be reintroduced at the COM
ing session of the general assembly.
Senator Harry M. Dunlap, father of
the bill, has agreed to eliminate from
the measure the Objectionable pro-
vision which limited the jurisdiction
of the police. The bill as it now
stands will enable the police to pre-
vent massacres, lynchings and other
violence and loss to property. Con-
scientious citizens who have the well
fare of their state at heart can per-
form no more patriotic service than
to urge upon their representatives
and senators at Springfield unqualified
support of this desirable measure"
The measure has the united oppo-
sition of all organized labor bodies.
