CORRESPONDENCE

[To the China Mall Sporta Editor]

Dear Sir,-As the Baseball League and International Series are now over, I think it would be a good idea if the powers that.. be, would follow the procedure of the "Softball Committee" by giving a dance, at say, the Peninsula Hotel, where the pre-

made, could be dealt with at the same time, I am sure from the increased interest this

break! You can bowl in the morn-sentation of the Trophies, if not already ings, when there are no crowds and alleys are always available. Get up a party for morning bowling!

games, that this dawne would prove entiré ty' successful,

An annual gala affair would be most ap propriate whereby“ all ball-players' could congregate socially and instil yet greater interest in this great American Game,`·
