Sports Pray for Good weather

Overcast skies and threatening
clouds were in order here yesterday.
The weather man had promised that
a storm was moving up the coast
and was just about due to reach this
part Of New England but in spite
of the fact that the sun only made
a few feeble attempts to shine, no
rain fell. AS genuine summer day
it could not begin to compare with
the day before, which was by far
the best that we have had this year.
The streets were thronged with peo-
pie who were anxious to take ad-
vantage of the warm weather and
the stores in the business section
did good business. The sport fans
are now praying for good day Sat-
urday in order that the local base
ball games may be played off under
the best conditions. The trees, are
already beginning to show their
green leaves and it is no longer a
novelty to hear the clatter of lawn
mowers in the early morning hours.
