It is interesting to note that many | leaders in the tield of baseball have expressed the fear that haseball was | losing the interest of the public. | New Britain belies this statement | and we would like to ask some of | these sport pessimists to visit this | city and look the field over. s B | Counting up the leagues, we fin the city league with six teams p ing once a week.

DARTMOUTH GRID STAR 13 KILLED Harold Leslie Hamm Is Victim of Fatal Lightning Bolt Wolfcboro, N. H.. July 12 P— Harold Leslic Hamm, 21-ycar-old Dartmouth football star of Arling- ton, Mass., is dead today, a vietim | of lightning. Hamm. who was expected to be one of the mainstays of the Green team nest fall, was killed yesterday afternoon while fishing from a | wharf on Lake Winncpesaukee dur- ing one of the most severe electrical storms ever experienced in this vi- cinity. The Dartmouth fullback had been a counsellor at a hoys' camp. A bolt struck the water a few feet from the wharf where Hamm was sitting and skipped along the surface of the lake, striking the steel rod which he held in his hand. A camp physician tried for more than two hours to resuscitate him. Hamm's death was said to have been the first fatality at the camp in 16 years. Hamm was a sophomore last year. He won a place on the varsity team through the illness of Dick Black, a regular. In the Harvard game when the Green swamped the Crimson, Hamm proved a good punter and one of the hest defense backs in re- cent Dartmouth football history . Last winter he was forced to leave Dartmouth because of pneumonia, but had planned to return next fall. As he had heen a good student, he was expected to continue as a ju- nior. Hamm was a giant in stature but was of a modest and refiring disposition. He was graduated from Arlington high school after winning letters in football. basketball, hockey and track. He also was a baseball player. He entered Dartmouth with a fel- low classmate at Arlington, Alion Marsters, who starred with him in the Green backfield last year and was expeeted to play with Hamm again this fall, Hamm's body was to be sent to PETE |of Australian nationality.
