NATIONAL LEAGUE
FEARS AMERICAN
Lengthens Season SO as to Prevent
Probable Effect of Post-Sea-
son Games.

Wilton j. Lambert. attorney for the
Washington Baseball Club, in a letter
to the sporting editor of The Times. ad-
vances a theory as to the reason of the
National League in frightening its play
ing season from 40 to 154 playing days.
Mr.. Lambert contends that this move
on the part of the older organization
was made to prevent a post-season series
between the two leagues for fear of the
American teams worsting the National
clubs. and thereby lowering the Ia tier
in public popularity.
His letter follows:
Sporting Editor The Washington Times:
The action of the National Baseball
League in prolonging their playing sea-
son, thus making impossible the post
season games between the two big
leagues. was palpably an admission thar
the American Leagues clubs, as was
conclusively shown in the past few
months, are the strongest. and are thus
entitled TO be viewed as such by the
public In nearly every series when the
teams of both associations met, the
Americans clubs came out victorious
most notably in the Boston-Pittsburg Sc
ries.
I'm trying to maintain it's prestige as
the major association the National
League admits its artistic weakness
when il declines TO meet the American.
From business point Of view there is
more patronage at the end of the season
in these pOst-season games than in regu-
lar games, but the result would be dis
astrous TO the National League when
the public was asked during the summer
for its support. They would flock to the
American grounds because they knew
that the superior article to be bought
was for sale at the American League
parks. The move OF the National will
serve for BRIEF time their secret pur-
pose. but it is plain TO close observers
of the national game.

ing his advice on the subject. The club
owner showed the letter TO his col
leagues at the recent meeting OF the
National League in New York. and in

League meeting has been postponed, and
