। little away from the tremendous interest that many sports h ive. Baseball starts just at the same t’lUe several other sports ate in the climax of their seas-sn Th- National Hockey League L just fir. -hing their regular Henson and starting the Stanley <*up playoffs when baseball starts This always creates a lot <-f interest to the hockey buffs. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE Natu nal Basketball league i. right in the middle of theh playoffs and the interest in pro basketball the past few years has taken a lot of interest to Hus s|>ort th.it before was- probublv mostly direct rd to baseball. In addition, college teams have g lot going for them a4 well They an- in track seasons, just complr’mg much of thvir indou seasons and of course, an featuring spiing football and bnseball as w- 1! that attnicts a lot of interest. THROUGH ALL OF THIS. E is. ball continues to roll ab ng Fans turn -<Ut g-«»d far the bettei attractions but during the early si-nng games. weather often h< Ids d-iwn the crowd Play has had some outstanding perform- ; • • already this year and in o idler week <-r two, the batting averages and pitching records will start to show the people who aie moving to the top in the I. >p.-< tive departmi-nts. fHIS YEAR PROMISES - me additional excitment Ev- rj year some player or tram c--m<s up with that something extra to grab a lot of headline and cause the hot Stove league to continue jrar round This us one of th- things that keeps baseball high in p -putiritv.

ball can hold tremendous interest because it is played once a week, for a period of only three months However, should it be played every day for six months like baseball, interest at each individual game would fall off considerably also. GOLF HAS TAKEN QUITE A hunk of TV time the past few years as the finishing holes of almost all the big golf matches an- seen on the starting wit/i the early schi-dule from California and working right across the country and north for all the big meets. Many have taken a liking to watching golf and in recent years this has pushed the purse for golf matches to an extremely high total. Take for instance, already th-- top money winners are past $50,000 and the big schedual lays ahead Only the Masters, of the big meets, is over, so this p ints out the tremendous payoff now given in golf SOCCER IS NOW A SPORT in th-- United States and last Sunday f-.und the first of the National televised soccer match-

es. After watching part of this, it is plain to be seen, that this is going to have a pull ug power, but more so after the : -.ns began to understand the game better and names of the . itstanding player s are known ‘ y fans all over the country The .scoring of soccer is such that ; team can profit much in the st endings by M-oring goals and this will develop to be the case, that if scoring gets a little higher, interest will rise with it Next Week we hopi- t<» piss on briefly, a little about soccer nil- - and what to 1-x k for. DESPITE THE FACT THAT these other sports take the headlines often, basiball « ontinues tn roll on. It is the type of sport Quit grows on the tans and regardless of what the gate sh<>w<. TV has put enough t< the fans to keep the interest high. A person of average income cannot afford to go to all the gan.csr. but this is where the title fan is. They are the ones that gvt in the arguements, takes sides for their own tram and league and keep bas--ba 11 the number one sport in the United States.
