Soft ball (and the ball isn't too soft) out-| draws hard ball in spectator at-| tendance in many cities in the States. The fans and the players like it be- cause it moves fast and there is lots of action. There is certainly nothing sissy about the game, and we can always go back to hard ball after the war is over. The main thing is to keep some kind of paseball alive now.
