LADIES TAKE UP
INDOOR BASEBALL
Following the ladies calisthentics
at the Seward Athletic Club las>t
night, Elwyn Swetmann, instructor
in charge, introduced indoor base
ball to his class. The game, new to
many of the ladies of the town, made
an immediate hit with most of them
and probably will be adopted as part
>f their regular athletic program
when the women meet in the gym
each Tuesday night hereafter.
The Seward Athletic Club would
like to sponsor this popular pastime
among the ladies, and if agreeable
to them, will assign a first class
coach and assistant to cooperate with
Mr. Swetmann in this regard. Seward
is fortunate in having Mr. Badger
who formerly coached several girl'
teams to championships in indoor
baseball, and is willing to render his
genial services just as soon as the
class is ready ot take up the game.
Unlike basketball, indoor baseball
is not very severe on the feminine
athletes tho’ it affords good exercise,
plenty of fun and wholesome compe
tition, and is easily learned. In the
“States” it is as popular among the
high school girls and co-eds as any
other gymnastic activities.
