Too Much Baseball Is One Trouble

Might Abolish Many Small Series
BY DAMON RUNYON

TEW YORK, Nov. Edward
M Barrow, president Of the In
ternationaI league, and a close
student Of baseball conditions, is
quoted as expressing the belief
that one thing the matter with baseball
is too much baseball, meaning that
there is not room for three major
leagues, and that there are too many
minor organizations in the field
Mr.. Barrow was referring more to
the actual season for playing base
ball than anything else, and there is
much truth in what he says. But he
might have gone further and called
attention TO the matter in which the
public is being er-baseballed out Of
season. That has become one of the
greatest evils Of our national pastime,
and maybe screeds such as this might

rEW YORK, Nov. Peace in the
N baseball world is about one year
L = distant. Both sides yearn for
peace. They want peace right now.
But at this time conditions are such
that there cannot be peace unless one
side or the other makes big concessions.
And neither side is willing to do this
Organized baseball doesn't think the
Feds have forced it into position
where il should make any important
concessions to the Feds. Organized
baseball is willing right now TO take
the Feds under its wing and give the
Federal league a big minor league
status The Feds refuse 10 listen 10
such a plan.
The Feds feel they have forced or
gained baseball against the wall and
that it is only a question Of time be-
fore they'll have organized baseball
prone upon the concrete and yelling for
mercy Feeling thus, it isn't at all
likely that the Feds will give up the
fight until they have succeeded in their
campaign-the subduing Of organized
baseball
Majority StiH Rules.
In both factions there are magnates
now at the best terms possible But
these maEnates are in the minority
and the majority rules.
There is no denying the fact that the
Feds seem to hold the whip hand right
now. Peace, of course, would mean
much to them right now, but a con-
tinuance Of war means less harm for
them than il does to organized base
ball The Feds have most of their
players under three year, iron clad con-
tracts. In war or peace they will have
TO pay the salaries those contracts call
for. The Feds have all their players
hooked up to contracts that are of
such a kind that organized baseball
cannot steal away their players
PrineeIy Salaries Demanded.
With organized baseball, however.
the situation is different. Something
like 50 OF 90 Of the best players in
organized baseball had contracts that

"I'LL-GET- YoU-FoR- THAT"

The Louisville Herald, the organ Of the Progress
sive party in Kentucky, and leading exponent of
WOman's Suffrage, pronounces sentence on the
Representative from the Ashland District as fol-
lows:
'While j. Campbell Cantrill, Congressman from
the Seventh Kentucky District is not an aspirant
for the senatorial nomination THIS TIME he may
bob up, politically, again in effort to secure
nomination for Representative. Because of that
fact it is interesting to know that women of nat
ural prominence III the suffrage movement have
declared their intention to see that he is retired
permanently"
Is this, then, the spirit of movement co-inci-
dent with the success of which, we are told is to
come the publication of politics and the relief of
various inOlerable conditions? Leaving the worth
mess of Congressman Cantr out of the question,
is the expression of this "Ill get you for that
sentiment worthy of the Reformer or of the dis
appointed dabbler in Peanut Politics? And you
don't vote to suit me, III go about getting your
goat" Nice, ladylike sentiment, this, and likely to
prove quite convincing argument to recalcitrant

EXPENDITURES FOR ROADS.

About 5000 miles Of highway of the modern
standard were built in the United States in the year
1913, according to the records of the American
Highway Association.
The same authority estimates the present mileage
of modern standard highway at 100000 miles Dur
ing the year the United States spent about $780,
100000 in road betterment, but these figures doubt
less include large amount of work which can be
called betterment only by courtesy 1t is common
knowledge that much of the work coming under
the head of repairs and maintenances practically is
worthless.
The American Highway Association estimates
that the amount of money spent in the United
States for roads and improvements exceeds the
annual road expenditure of England, France, Ger
many, Italy, Norway Russia, Spain, Sweden and
Wales together by $24,00O0O0 At this rate the
