American Made Base Ball Great.

This decline Of the popularity OF the
American League is hurting base ball.
Let them say what they may, the
American League took base ball out OF the
dirt and made it great. 1t stopped rowdy
ball. expedited the game, improved the
umpiring and the conduct OF players.
stimulated the National League into ac-
ton, and. in all. took base ball from u
sport for sports and made 1t a pasttrne
fit for gentlemen and for ladies. The
press rallied behind Mr.. Johnson and his
associates. and from 1902 TO 1910 base ball
enjoyed tremendous boom. Probably
the attendance this year will equal that
of last year, but that Is due to the vary
ing race. For, In both leagues. many
clubs made OCCASIONAL spurts and looked
like contenders at one time or another.
Only the Boston Nationals, st Louis
Browns and Washington have been hope
less tail enders from the FIRST. Brooklyn
and the st. Louis Nationals at times
made brilliant spurts and 30 have Gin
cinnati and Philadelphia. Then the good
showing OF the New York Americans has
helped wonderfully. But all round and
upon the whole 1t may be taken as the
opinion of the best and most studious
and farthest-seeing critics of base ball
that the professional game has seen the
zenith Of its popularity with the press and
probably with the people
