HIGHER CLASS IN 1916
President Of American Associa.
ton Is Quite Optimistic.
Predicts Faster Ball Will Be Played
Account Large Number of Players
Thrown on Market After Fed
H erai League Disbanded.

Faster ball will be played in the
American Association during the sea-
son of 1916 than in any period in
the history of the organization. The
reason for this Is tn large number Of
good players that were on the market
after the Federal league disbanded.
The club owners of the American
vantage of this situation, and l think
their patrons will appreciate their
energy when the season is under way.
It Is fact that the Federal league
developed a large number of young
ball players, in fact. too many for the
major leagues to take care of under
the existing limitations on major
league teams in The number of men
they can carry.
Most of these players have come to
the American association teams and
this class of talenI combined with the
best men on the teams of last year
will serve to advance the general
standard of play t. plane higher
than has been reached by any organi-
cation outside the two major leagues.
That there has Leen a decided re-
vival of interest in the national sport
Is evidenced by the immense crowds
that attended the opening games.
Everything considered, 1t is but rea.
sonable to anticipats that 1915 will be
the banner year OF the association.
With the many Oranges in the per-
sonnet of the teams, any prediction as
to the final outcome of the pennant
race before the mid1le of the season
would be largely guesswork. Until
the different comb. nations and changes
are tested in actual play on the dia-
monds during the first two months
Of the season. their ultimate worth
and comparative ability will remain
