the American league Is the stronger
organization OF the two major
leagues, and for every star that the
National league can name can name
FIVE stars in the American that would
completely overshadow the one men,
toned in the National. think the
American league has been more pro-
gresslve in every way. The president
OF our league has handled all affairs
that come under his Jurisdiction in a
decisive and energetic manner. Each
American league club owner has gone
out and spent money lavishly for
young players, while the older organ
ization, the National league, has re-
lied too much on their oud players.
The American league is to be con-
sidered stronger because OF the fact
that they have secured almost every
available star player from the minor
/ leagues, consequently we have the
league fun OF young blood who are
superior 20 the older players making
np the National league. Almost In
variably you see an account of some
American league club securing some
wonderful minor league star. Such
an event seldom happens in the Ma
tional league. This policy, / think.

Bartelme says the AFFAIR was sue

II Is to be hoped that this idea Of
scheduling these post-season exhibit

doesn't get to be habit. With the
