BASEBALL HURT BY WINTER
POLITICAL BUNK
BY Mark Shields


Apparently baseball magnates new
er will get wise to what hurts the
game with the public that pays the
overhead - and underground -
charges that keep the sport alive.
Following the late worlds series,
where Brooklyn charged So for GER
tain seats in the grandstand and
boxes, there was a prolonged howl
from the fans, who wanted baseball
at something less than grand opera
prices.
Immediately certain factions of the
American league answered this pro-
test by placing all the blame on the
National league, and advancing some
ideas for changes in handling the
Doodle this fall. This was to placate
the public.
But the game could thrive, even
with these exorbitant prices, if the
magnates would keep their mouths
closed during the off season and not
foul their own nests by charges
against each other. Barney Dreyfuss
wants a new national commission,
and now comes Ban Johnson with
the retort that every time a case is
decided against the Pittsburgh owner
he wants the commission reorgan-
lied.
And the players fraternity is also
tangling with the owners. Dave
FuItz has protested the Withholding
from Boston Red Sox players the en-
blems that go with the worlds title
because some of the athletes took
part in a post-season game.
The players aren't any too popular
with the fans as a result Of the Fed
eral league war. This goes espe-
ciaIly for several men who stayed
with organized baseball but did not
Over-exert themselves after they had
tied their owners to iron-clad con-
,ofe %LoF ooIIod fOy. CvyO1IoV, co 10 Tia5

are to blame. There are owners who
talk too much and there are players
who have not given fair return for
their money. Both do the game harm
and it will not recover until all real
ize that the way to put baseball back
where it belongs is to eliminate poll
tics and try whirl at real sport.
The best single thing that could
happen to baseball would be for GER
tain club owners and a few others
connected with the game to take a
long trip from the middle of October
until the middle of April, getting be-
yond wireless and telegraph commu-
nication with this already over
talked country.
The fans aren't Interested in what
Ban Johnson thinks of Dreyfuss or
Dave F'ultz, or what either of these
gentlemen think of Ban. And they
won't discover, anyhow, because
because neither OF the trio can ade-
quately express himself under the
present governing rules of language.
Players are to be prevented this
winter from participating in indoor
baseball, basketball and football.
This is a rule passed by the magnates
to protect their valuable chattels
from injury. There are good argu-
ments from both sides, but the side
Of the owners is strongest because
the latter now control the game, with
the Federal league ogre removed.
Kitty Gordon, Maroon haIfback,
has played his last football game for
the University of Chicago. A long
train of injuries was. climaXed in
scrimmage yesterday by kick in the
ribs, and there is more gloom on the
Midway Stage is hard up for back
field material and the loss of an ex-
perienced man like Gordon is a Sc
we're blow. Gordon played part of
the Carleton game, but was with
drawn because of an injury.

Gen. Won Fa|kenhayn
Predicts the Fall Of
Bucharest in Few DAYS
EERNfANNSTADT.

HDRMANNSTADT. Transylvania,
Nov. 26, Ito The Associated Press,
via Berlin and Wireless 10 Sayville,
y. Y.--At 4 luncheon which General
Won Falkenhayn, commander OF the
forces on the northern Rumanian front
gave today to small group Of neutral
correspondents, he remarked to The
Associated Press representative that
although nothing in this world is so
certain that one dare predict anything
with safety" Bucharest will be an un-
comfortable place for anyone TO be in
when tho Germans gel their guns
trained on it.
Although General Won Falkenhayn
declined absolutely 10 commit himself
TO any prediction as to when this
might occur, and even questioned the
purely military advantage OF posses
sion of Bucharest, with It's thousands
to feed, when the same result might
be accomplished by gradually decl-
mating the Runanian army. he left
not the slightest doubt In the minds
of his hearers that he considered il
possibility OF the immediate future.
General Won Falkenhayn was reti-
cent as TO the probable length Of the
Runanian campaign on the ground
that the continued Spring-liko weather
might hasten the end, while even one
sharp cold spell might lengthen 1t ma
terially. Although refusing TO assume
the role of prophet, he appeared Su-
premely confident Of The ultimate re-
suit. He paid the Rumanian soldiers
the highest compliments upon their
desperate bravery and discounted stor-
les of cowardice or inefficiency on the
part Of the Rumanian officers,
