THE GROUND QUESTION AGAIN.
[BY
CENTRE FIELD.")
Still no news about the ground! Long winded though I must ap- pear to be to my readers, I must again say that is refects very much on the men who have all the say about the allocation of recreation grounds that a game which has a following of several thousands is allowed to die out of sheer lack of interest on their part. It is no use beating about the bush, for that ie what amounts to. Other games are very well catered for- tennis, cricket, football, lawn bawis, and golf-plenty of space is given to these games, while base- hall. a game which has grown to be so popular in recent years, is so sadly neglected Perhaps it is because the powers-that-be do not know that almost as many who follow the football games in the winter spend their Saturday after noons in the summer watching a ball game. These people must wonder why things have been allowed to come to such a sorry state.
Our ball players have always had to play in the bottest months of the year, not because they want to but because there is no alternátîve for them. When cricket and foot- ball are in full swing during the winter all, the grounds are taken up, and it is only when these are not taxed to such an extent that
baseball has a book-in. Now. how ever, even this is denied them, and it is, no che to our sportsmen who cannot see their way to let some other people have the use of their ground ben they are not in argent need of it theniselves. The
Baseball Association · Icela this uiter lack of support all the more as arrangements for what promis- ed to be a very successful season sere ompleted months ago.

Decisions made by Clubs last Saturday to postpone all their lawn bowls matches owing to weather conditions proved to be hasty ns later in the afternoon. they found to their regret than the rain had cleared and the grounds were in good condition for play. A friendly match at Kowloon Deck which was started about 4 o'clock was played to # finish and the ground was quite good.
