OUTLAW BALL WILL BE
A SUCCESS.

The writer has had considerable
experience with outlaw ball for the
past few years, and while he OPP
posed it as impossible for the small
California cities, is convinced that
it would prove great success in
the northwest.
In the California league the fl
nancial question was paramount,
while the inability to control the
players and to secure good umpires
created such a condition that the
fans refused to support the clubs.
In the northwest the conditions
are different. With larger cities,
the money question would not
prove such nightmare to the
league owners. With plenty of
money and the liberal support of
the fans, no difficulty would be ex-
perienced in securing first class
players and enforcing the same
rules governing their conduct that
apply to organized base ball. Cut
out umpire batting and rowdyism
and the fans will rally to the sup
port of independents as they never
did to the organized hosts.
A feature of the situation which
is particularly inviting just now is
the large number of stars from the
California outlaws who would well

come an opportunity to break away
from their enforced serfdom in the
new class B California league, with
its attendant small salaries, and
play Independent ball for more coin
in a league that appears to be
strong enough to wrest even better
terms from organized ball for its
players when peace is finally made.
