Comiskey is Like a Ray Of Hope
Will Help to Fight the Federals
BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON.


Charles Comiskey's illness,
coming at the critical moment In
baseball history. may change the
entire complexion of the sport.
Reports from Rome and Paris are
not as encouraging as the earlier
dispatches, and Comiskey is COM
ing home. Not only will his en-
forced return mar the great re-
ception planned for the returning
worlds tourists, but 1t is certain
to have great effect upon the
present political situation in base
ball.
Comiskey Is the master mind OF
baseball, and has been its direct
ing genius for many years. Ever
since the Brotherhood war his
advice and counsel have decided
the moves of the leagues. Both
the American leaguers who are
his partners and the National
leaguers, his sworn enemies, have
been praying for the return OF
Comiskey. They declare that the
worlds tour, which was planned
before the Federal leagues as
sault started, has been the most
disastrous move ever made in
baseball. They believe that had
Comiskey remained In America
this winter the yFederals would
have been stopped almost before
they started and that their pres
ent success would have been I'M
possible.
II Comiskey returns home at
once, and in good enough health
to work. the chances are that the
baseball tangle will be straight
ened out inside fortnight. If he
is too i'll to assume charge Of mat.
ters, the Federals will be in 9
much strengthened position and
the troubles that now beset the
two major leagues will seem mere
trifles.
There Is no doubt that Comis-
key is desperately needed by the
powers of organized baseball. For
baseball Is In worse condition just
now than 1t has been since the
adoption of the National agree
ment. The Federals have made
gigantic strides forward in the
last week, and the Organized
Powers who gathered in New
