Maple 8ngar Production of maple sugar has declined rather steadily. In the period 1917-1920, the national average was about 21,500 tons of 2,000 pounds.

But there are more than a few willing to risk their cash along these lines. In addition to the eities that make up the present major football league, those nnder consideration include Los Angeles, Baltimore, Buffalo, Dallas, San Francisco, Atlanta and New Orleans, with a second team in New York. One point to think, about is that not all members of the present big league make any financial killing. New York and Washington head the pack. The Chicago Bears have dqn»« well. Brooklyn had lost good money. Cleveland was no mint--and the same goes for Detroit. Green Bay Successful Green Bay, with a series of great teams, has made a fine showing for its size. But I wouldn't know how much money Green Bay has made. It will be interesting to watch this rush to pro football when the fightings ends. It will at least be a big break for the players who. can sit back and take the top offer. But they will first have to be sure they will collect. There should be room enough for two major leagues in football, just as there is in baseball, with the same world series arrangement for the wind-up. But the battle to establish the second league may easily be a wild and woolly affair, where the fur will be knee deep before the finish. I don't believe anyone can doubt there will bea large and active postwar boom -fn every form of sport There are many reasons for this to-happen, with some 10,000.00(> veterans looking for excitement.
