We liked Willard better than any

which is considerable of an item in
the general summing up of mans
championship assets.
Jess is now around Buffalo, \. Y,

they are ready to back him against

HOWL FOR SHORT
SCHEDULE VERY
BUSH LEACUEY
By Percy II. Whiting.

=
r IKE an echo from the deep
bushes, from the haunts of
the Glass D league, comes the
noise of the howl for shorter
schedule for the Southern league.
OF all the short sighted, short
measure, short-skate proposals this
is most nearly the limit
The location of the Southern
league makes 1t an ideal organi-
cation for a long schedule. Good
weather comes early. 1t stays late.
Baseball can be played with GER
tainty of good weather from April
to September 3O--and usually
longer.
Yet a fight is on in the Southern
league to shorten the season. Pres
ident Kavanaugh proposed to the
magnates that they cut the sched-
ule from lao games, as 1t is at pres
ent, to 126 games. In that case each
team would play each other team
three three game series at home
and three on the road.
The argument in favor of the
shorter schedule is that the fall
games don't make any money. any
how.
1t is quite possible that, in sew
eral Southern league cities, the last
two or three weeks are not paying
ones. But the logic of supposing
that by looping off two or three
weeks all the clubs will make
money all the time would, bring
tears to the eyes of even a Juvenile
logician.
The reason the late games do not
pay is that before these games ar
rive the league race is usually set
tied And after 1t is there is no
hope of big attendance Cut Off the
last three weeks of the playing sea-
son, say, and you will have the in
terest dying out three weeks ear
lier still.
THE moguls didn't fall for Presi-
dent Kavanaugh's scheme, but
some Of the natural-born econo-
mists were inclined to favor playing
the 140 games and packing them
into as short a time as possible.
These men reason that by playing
$40 games they VIII get as much
money as ever, but by playing them
in less time they viii cut down ex-
penses. The logic of this is flaw
less. Carried to the extreme. it
would provide a schedule calling
for double headers every day. Thus
the 14O games could be played in
less than three months. Grand idea
that! It's a wonder somebody hasn't
sprung it before.
You all know what a crowded
schedule means-innumera BILE dou-
ble-headers. a world Of games that
never get played. wornout players,
tired and disguised fans, smaller
receipts-oh. yes, and economy
That's the watchword in the South
ern now, ECONOMY.
DE it said to the credit Of the
- Atlanta club, it is not In ia
Nor OF carrying the craze for econ
omy TO a point where 1t is likely
to iSopardize the popularity OF the
game. The local club, at the recent
meeting and at all meetings, has
stood out for a high limit--or no
limit. 1t is for a season that is as
long as the fans want It is for
good baseball and lots of it.
But some of the other members
of the Southern league are for
economy-and lots Of IT.
