Turning to baseball—our hats are off to a fine bunch' of men who have taken over and assured Cam den of a fenced ball lot and a rep resentative baseball. club. One of the best bit of news In that con nection is that our old friends, Les i Robinson and Billy Mims, two real baseball warriors, are to play with Fond da Lac. Dick Richards tells ns that the football field will have a fence and new bleachers next fall. That Is real news. And Hal Middleton, high school band mentor, says his high school band will be really tooting and rooting at all ball games in the fu ture. Which is of coarse more good news. • Welt, the Providence ball club of the New Ihigland circuit will ar rive next week for several weeks of training at the baseball lot There being no nse of flying In. the face of Providence you'll probably see ns out st the plant quite often.
