Ventres pointed out that members
of the local post could not give
much time to the league because of
outside duties but that they would,
and had in the past, attended games
whenever possible. Paul Baker,
who has had a great deal Of activity
in scheduling the games, is out of
town most of the time, he said, but
he had given every possible minute
to the carrying out OF the leagues
business.
Recent picnics by Kensington
and East Berlin, have cancelled sev-
eral games and yesterdays post
ponement was probably due to a
misunderstanding, fans claim, but 1t
is thought that next week will see
the league swing into its regular
form again.
