Indoor baseball looms as possible substitute for basketball
Edward J. O'Brien notes talk of replacing basketball with indoor baseball as interest wanes. New York high schools have formed 21 teams with a busy schedule using public gyms and armories. In Boston, access is uneven as several schools lack suitable gym space, though municipal and shared facilities are used. Dorchester High leads in the league with Commerce High, while South Boston and Fenway schools show tied results in early play.
