FRIDAY, SEPT. 2, 1921, OE A Rs STORM SASH Many people overlook ordering Storm Sash until the advent of cold weather. It is better to order now. Storm Sash mean L \ Ia HIER l= 100 MUCH EXHIBITION Has Taken the §upport Away From. Basebal--in'-- Kingston. ---- The local baseball players, and a great many of the fans with them, have been wondering what is wrong with baseball in this city, In the old days of the city league two teams would come out on the cricket field, play about the stamp of baseball put up by the Intercounty League now, or perhaps a little better, and draw great crowds, The fans lined up be- hind the benches of their respective favorites and cheered themselves hoarse. There was no trouble about stirring up enthusiasm or interest. This summer we have had a team | the Ponies, playing baseball second only in quality to that of the big leagues, and bringing in teams that are the best to be obtained in ama- teur baseball circles anywhere. The best from Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Northern New York State have appeared on the cricket field and have either been beaten or given a close run by the local nine - Yet there is no enthusiasm in the crowd and when that ceases, then the best part of sport is gone. The Ponies basebal] club has on many occasions, it is claimed by the secretary, gone in the hole as the result of no support. Those who come out to the games do not contribute, is the reason, but what is the reason for that condition? The Kingston fans are not pikers. They pay for hockey matches here in the winter, and pay higher prices than the nominal quarter which they might contribute at the baseball games, There must be some reason why large numbers of a crowd in- terested in baseball do not contribute to its support, especially when the baseball is of a good class, The pre- sent unemployment and industrral stress cannot be blamed for here its effects are neglible as the majority of people at the ball games could easily afford a quarter if they so wished. The real reason for the lack of support is the lack of real interest. One of the essentials of all athletics that go to make up their success, is the spirit of rivalry and competition. This enters into almost every phase of life but is especially noticeable in athletics. Without it a game or a sport falls into disfavor. In the sen- ior baseball here this summer there had been no competition, Every- thing has been exhibition--exhibition --until we are all heartily sick of ex- hibitions. There is more real fun in watching the players in a Mercantile game, whom we know, than in watch- ing Ponies playing these gangs of strangers, whom we will probably never see again, There is no use trying to stimulate interest. There is nothing to play for, no goal to be reached, no rivals to overcome, nothing beyond the tem- porary competition of the nine-inn- ing game. In Belleville, Peterboro, Oshawa and other centres they are all in a league. The people look on the ball team as representing them, as representing their town, and back it accordingly. They have a part in the big events as well as the nine men on the team. Next year, if any team wishes to carry on a successful baseball cam- paign, and wishes to hold its popu- larity for any length of time, it will have to get into some league, organ- ization or arrangement that will make each fan take a personal inter- est, instead of the select few. Base- ball cannot be run without fans and the fans are completely fed up on ex- hibitions and no competition. Allan Lumber Co. : Phone 1042 "m7 .
