CORRESPONDENCE.
BASEBALL.
(TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONG KONG DAILY PRESS."]
Sta, I heartily endorse the sentiments expressed by the two gentlemen Mr. L. and Mr. Game Warden, in your paper this morn- ing.
It certainly appears that the sporting public is losing interest in local baseball, and though some may attribute this waning of in- terest to the reaso that more people have taken to bathing than in previous years, I think it is probably due to other reasons.
We all know the value of the press in promoting and encouraging any kind of undertaking, and as far as the game of baseball is concern- ed, it is no exception, to the rule. In fact, as this game is still in it's infanty in the Colony, the whole- hearted support and encouragement of the press is absolutely essential to make it as popular as it deserves
to be.
