AMERICAN LEADER
PREDICTS DISASTER
Believes Baseball Is Due For q
Serious Shakeup; Would
Abolish Training Trips

Chicago, ILL.,, March 23.-Baseball is
in for an overhauling such as it has
never before experienced if the sug-
gestions of b. b. Johnson, president
of the American League, are carried
out. According to the head of the
Junior circuit, there is need of reform
along both artistic and financial lines.
Included in the scheme for new
deal" are the closing of the gates for
the coming season of some fifty ball
parks and the abolition of Spring train
ing trips. The padlocks would be dis
tributed among five or six minor
leagues. while. the American and Ma
tional Leagues would be principally
affected by the new system of training
Interest is Lacking
The apparent lack of interest in
baseball in smaller towns is the reason
for the first suggestion, and needless
expense, coupled with chilly reception,
both at the gate and by the weather
man at the southern training camps. is
responsible for the second.
The policy of closing the gates of
scores of minor league clubs has been
brought home with added pressure the
last few days through appeals to the
national commission from ball players
for back salaries. 1t seems that the
majority of minor leagues failed to
make both ends meet last year and
the players are at present in posses
sion of I. o. us. on which they have
been unable to collect. Not being able
to get any satisfaction from their en-
ployers. the players have flooded the
commission with requests for money.
The supreme court of baseball has
been unable to offer much encourage
ment and it was pointed out to-day
through Mr.. Johnson that the worst is
yet to come. Hundreds of players are
likely to be out of jobs the coming
season with no relief in sight, regard
less of whether certain clubs close
their gates or not.

There is no one in the profession
who has made a greater study of stage
lighting than Maude Adams She be-
lieves so thoroughly in the advantage
of light, and especially for comedy
that her company is equipped with
footlights, sidelights and batteries of
spotlights. a good story is told about
how finicky the actress is regarding
the effects that are used in her pro-
ductions. When Quality Street was
being rehearsed the actress decided to
try some new devices intended to inn
prove the stage lights Scenes We're
set and effects tried. Finally there
came trouble with one of the scenes A
strip of light found its way across the
stage. which gradually grew larger.
She called the men and told them to
cut out that light. And then someone
discovered that it was the sun coming
through one of the windows in the
fly loft. The actress had worked in
the theater all night and did not know
t-AdVeTtiSement.
