Last Sunday, for no particular
reason and from ao special urge,
I drove out to the ball grounds.
H aring no k ith nor kin on the
team and not haring witnessed a
baseball game for more
years
than I should like to confess to,
I had. no particular Internet ip the
playing sure that the home team
must win, of course.

Ottr small elty has been con
fronted, recently, w ith the mom
entous question of Bunday base
ball. Its citizenry became divided
into two earnest factions — tho
ayes and the noes. As they so of
ten are,, the noes of the communi
ty were victorious and the peace

Slskiyofis has not had Its Sunday
afternoon tranquility
disturbed
by the blatancy of Itaseball.
But enthusiastic youth was n it
to be denied. I t evolved a way of
getting around this problem just
as it seems to be able to get
around so many modern problems.
I t turned defeat into victory by
the simple means of renting some
body’s potato patch Just a bit
outside the city limits and turn
ing it into a very creditable sem
blance to a baseball field. I t as
sembled some w illing aspirants,
'uniformed them, gave them'some
necessary paraphernalia and want
to the bat, so to speak. Ia a few
weeks there was ready a fa irly
smooth diamond, some brand
new bleachers, an . enthusiastic
team in working order and—
what was needed most of all—
plenty
of moral support.
The
team joined a league composed of
the nines from neighboring towns
<nd began to play ball.
