baseball became the national pastime diamonds were laid out and bleachers con- in almost every hamlet in the United States When ball gripped the nation and lions began pouring to week-end games they were taken care of in stadiums ia may be the correct plural but it sounds so silly To witness ski jumps the en- has to walk through snow stand in snow and go through a lot of physical to satisfy his interest in the new sport Someone is missing a good bet Nevada with splendid ski jumps and with several places where snow is 12 months of the year could step to the fore as a national ski re- sort if
