clubs in every league in the country. Two
years ago it was said that baseball was
simply suffering from a temporary lull in
interest and that more attention would be
paid to the game in another year
Last year every one insisted that 1t
was the war that was to blame and that
slim attendances would end as soon as the
lovers of the game could find time TO
think of something besides battles ana
conQuests. but in spite OF these plausible
excuses there is not one OF the ieaB'o
managers who does not fear that there 10
something more serious at the bottom OF
the matter and who does not believe that
some most radical changes will have to be
made If the national game is once more
to occupy first place in the hearts OF inc
patrons OF athletic sports.
The consideration of this question occu-
pied nearly all the time OF the league
mdgnntes at the winter meeting and all
went home with the firm conviction tnat
a solution to the problem must be found
before the opening OF another season.
During the sessions of the last convention
several suggestions were made. President
Brush of the Cincinnati club still insists
that in clean bait Is the only saiFalch
of the league and that more vigorous
measures should be adopted this wear anu

has yet been taken. There can be no
doubt that in one sense Ct the word Mr.
Brush is right and that Kicking, op5csolty
ana yuIgarity have had an effect In killing
the snort, but the managers will make a
mistake if they look only to this quarter

Tho rooters who attend the baseball
games have but little idea of what 1t costs

league magnatos have decided to make a
radical change in the management OF their
clubs and the reforms that have been
adopted in New York should be forced
upon every club where such weakness has
predominated in the management. The
league magnntes are men of wealth ard
they are admirers OF the National game,
but it is not reasonable to suppose thnt
they will accept stock assessment IN
lieu Of dividends every year simply that a
few men may be permitted to pursue their
stubborn course.
There is no reason why. With effective,
clear, good management, upon business
basis--such as those at the head are cap
able of--basehall should not start In upon
a prosperous financial season.
