president of the National League.l
New York, April lit is far from
an unusual or new prediction for me-
to state that ! believe baseball will
enjoy an exceptionally prosperous and
succ0 ssful year this season. This is
the opinion Of all basbaIl men, gener-
ally and freely made.
The reasons for baseball men think.
ing it will be great year for the Ma.
tional game are found in the unpre.
cedented prosperity of the entire
country and the internal conditions
existing in the baseball world. 1t Is
only natural to expect that such con-
ditions will produce extremely graft.
flying results in baseball. What is
more natural than that the average
American citizen with plenty of mon
ey in his pocket should patronize the
national sport at every possible op-
portunity, especially when there is
nothing in its management to which
From my own personal contact with
business men everywhere, l am led to
believe that interest in baseball has
been greatly stimulated by recent de-
velopments and occurrences. I am
willing to take the judgment of the av-
erage business man ON this subject,
as think his opinion in most ev.
erytEing that interests us Americans
is good barometer on which to base
judgment. | believe the public an
ticipates with more genuine interest
and fervor the opening of the profess
sional baseball season this spring than
it has evinced for years.
And there is a reason for this ad-
vanced interest. Conditions are set
tied, there are no diverting agencies
in the field, harmony exists among the
professional ranks, and therefore the
public is assured that more good base
bali will be seen on the diamond this
year than has been obtained for sew
eral seasons. am very much pleased
with the existing conditions in the Ma.
tional league. Naturally we expect
big year Most of the clubs have
been strengthened in playing material
and strong fight for the pennant is
sure to ensue from the playing OF the
first to the last game. Personally l
expect to see a keen, spirited fight for
the championship. Looking at the
teams as they lined up in tha south, it
is absolutely beyond the ken of proph-
ecy to say which club will win. An
unusual amount of interest has been
injected into the senior league by rea-
son of the amalgamation which took
place getween the Chicago National
and Federal league clubs. The public
is quite alive to the situation as pre-
scented in the Windy City, and many
conjectures are expressed as to wheth-
er the injection of the Federal league
talent into the Chicago National
league club will make the reconstruct-
ed team a strong contender for the
championship. Several other Nation-
al league clubs have added to their
list of players with the exception
that the acquisitions will be Of mate
rial benefit to them in playing
strength. Personally have no doubt
that some of these players win prove
of value to the clubs which acquired
their services.
Everything considered, I cannot help
