solution would be the return of
old-timers to the diamond, and
the developing of younger play

In this case, baseball would
probably not be as fast as in for
mer years, but it will provide
needed entertainment for the
many fans who will not be able
to travel this summer due to
gas rationing. If there is base
ball, a four-team league in the
