the incentive to preserve dts prosperity is
naturally strong. Furthermore. the base
ball owners have held out before them
the fate of the great fortunes which have
been lost In racing through the way that
sport was conducted. and they are not
anxious to travel the same route: Should
base ball become mixed up in scandal
and lose the public confidence as an
amusement the loss would be little less
than startling. Every major league city
in the country would feel the effect d.
rectly, owing to the loss of patronage.
while the indirest effect would extend
into almost every city and town in the
country. Should the big clubs strike hard
times it would mean the stoppage Of the
