The work Of eye and Barnard tends to prove tha-
this is the correct view

The organisms appear like tiny glisenine

This is what might be called filling station effront

vantage of the freedom allowed before the Zoning
law became effective, Oil companies, aided and abe

Baseball in England
(New York Times)

Can it be that baseball is getting foothold III
England? From Oxford comes story that the game
is to be played there summer for the entertain
ment OF American visitors. Until the end of June
an organized team Of American students will be
available to give exhibitions baseball and to try
conclusions with visiting British teams For the
rest of the summer players of the British Isles will
furnish what sport there is Already several teams
are in the field. Comments upon their form
hardly encourage the hope that they could hold
their own against tail-enders in American bush
league.
We had to learn the game ourselves. For years
after Abner Doubleday of Cooperstown evolved
modern baseball Americans, with few notable ex-
ceptions, did not excel in it In fact, it was not
until he had won his laurels at Gettysburg that
baseball took tenacious hold upon the American
imagination.
