The prisoners have become such base- ' ball experts that two leagues are now playing for the prison championship each Saturday, and the race has be come so hot that a post season series has been arranged. "That the ball games organized by I the prisoners of the Federal peniten- j tlary at Atlanta have done much to pre. serve discipline can not he denied." says the current issue of Good Words, the official paper of the government pris oners.

They may coach, cheer, smoke, sing and even "pan" the opposing players and the ump l —e. who are prisoners. They - play in white and brown uni forms and all the other prisoners watch the matches, with the under atandfng that any breach of good be havior will be punished by withdrawal of th* baseball privileges of the prison for three months.
