tion more than II ever has in the
the past. That explains the huge
stadiums rising everywhere, the
crowds Of $4,000 to see ring ex-
hibigion, 100000 fans at football
games, $4,000 at tennis matches,
10000 ct track games. Baseball
and racing drew the crowds when
Julian Curtiss was young. Today
baseball is one of many branches
of sport, each striving Tor its
crowd.
This Is d serious business for the
baseball magnate. He cannot at
ford to hang back. He should be-
gin educating his public before it
Is too late.
One effect Of this situation Is
seen in the growing scarcity Of
baseball players. The minor
leagues claim they cannot get
enough talent. This works out in
d scarcity Of rockies for the
major leagues. For several years
this Has caused ponderinge among
the wiser leaders Of the game.
They don't know what to do about
It, but they know something must
be done.
The small boy is the life of
baseball. 1t is his enthusiasm
that makes for its future. The
small boy should be carefully
fostered by the leaders Of base

I'D UT this is not the. situation
D in many other citiAs in the
big league circuits. Great
bleachers remain empty fully half
the time when they might easily
be filled with youngsters lacking
the money to pay.
When Julian .Curtiss was a boy
grandstand seat cost so cents.
BleAcher seats cost half that.
True, the grandstands amounted
to little as compared with those
OF today. But the baseball Of
Tered then was quite on par
with that offered now. "There
were giants In those days." just
as there are some now.
But in those days the athletes
were heroes and looked the part.
They played savagely and, in some
ways, lived savagely. Every
small boy was hero-worshipper
and every big league baseball
player a hero.
Also, there was little else but
baseball twenty-five Or thirty
years ago. Yes, there was racing
much as there is today, but the
biggest professional game was
baseball. It's players were the
focus of all attention. It's not
so today.
Today small boys attentions
are scattered over many things,
not all sports, either. The radio,
for instance, has much for the
small boy. So have the movies.
These two things fight for SUI
prerhacy in the thoughts of our
boys of today.

The national policy Of economy
popularized by President Coolidge is
finding practical expression in the
great road building program of the
nation.
New York, California, Connecticut
and Maryland are among the first
states to take adequate measures for
the conservation Of their portland
cement concrete roads by resurfac-
ing with asphalt as soon as the con-
crete shows serious signs Of deterio-
ration. By this intelligent policy the
engineers preserve the full founda-
ton value Of the concrete and OBJ
