great hold on the people. This has
been accomplished in a few years. be
cause the teams had the city cham
pionship TO fight for. and then some
games with the champions of other
cities.
Our amateur organization has de-
veloped more real ball players each
year. Cleveland is sending more good
men into the minor and major leagues
per capita than any town in America.
and that is just one of the results of
the amateur league.
There is another good accomplish
ed by the amateur organization which
makes me hope for the big success of
the National Amateur league. That is
the faireF treatment Of players and
umpires by spectators. Spectators
who have played and who understand
baseball do not roast players or UNI
pireS.~ I believe Cleveland has become
one Of the fairest towns in the coun-
try in players and umpires, mainly
because of that fact"

BIG LEAGUE MANAGERS PREDICT GREAT FUTURE
FOR NATIONAL AMATEUR CLUB ORGANIZATION
BY HUGH $. FULLERTON.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. Mar. 30
Major league managers are enthuSi-
astic in their support of the amateur
baseball league which this summer
will contest for the sectional and ma
tiOnal championships.
Mordecai Brown. leader of the st.
Louis Feds, said:
Practically all our great ball play
ers come from small towns and from
obscure teams. There must be hun
dreds of men in the United States
who could be Cobbs and Johnsons
with proper training The plan of a
fall series between the winning teams
will keep them at il all summer, and
they will turn out lot of good play
ers The fact that there are three
major leagues in the field and not
half enough really good ball players
TO fill them shows how much the
professional game needs the develop
ment of amateurs"
1T is a great idea said Hugh Jen-
nings of the Tigers enthusiastically
1T gives the amateurs some reward
for the seasons work and insures
good games i'm every section. The
amateurs need q strong central gov
eminent as much as the professionals

less he has lost a leg or an ARM" re-

with others for the success of the
whole. Every kid plays ball, OF
course, but this amateur Organiza ton
means more and better amateur teams
I'd go far to see the final games be-
tween two amateur teams that rep
resent rival cities in different sections
Of the country. I'd break a leg TO
be in such a series. and a medal won
that way is worth as much as a years
salary"
The idea OF a national organiza-
{ ton of amateurs is a grand one" said
George Stallings OF Boston's Braves.
The trouble with amateur baseball
has been that there was nothing tor
the teams to look forward TO. 1t
would astOund you to see how quickly
the boys learn. 1 have seen a team
pull off play on the Boston grounds.
and. while going home, / have seen
the boys on the lot near by practicing
the same play. The hope of winning
a real championship Will keep them
