President Ed. Barrow of the lnterna-
tional League leaves to-day for Camp
Bryan. n famous shooting preserve in
North Carolina. Ban Johnson, presi-
dent of the American League, was to
have accompanied him, but called oil
the trip suddenly yesterday afternoon.
Barrow on his way South is TO meet
Mr.. Johnson in Washington tomorrow
Mr.. Johnson gave no explanation OF the
cancellation Of his shooting trip. but il
would not be surprising TO learn that
military matters have intervened. John-
TO ioin the army, and il may be that he
has been accepted for immediate duty.
If the American League president
could stand the physical strain, he
should prove of inestimable value in
any capacity which calls for fine organ
izing brains. Johnson is one Of the
grandest organizers to be found in this
country.
If Ban goes to France. or if ne Sc
cures a regular appointment TO service
with the army, it is certainty that
Ed Barrow will succeed to the throne.
understand, by the way, that the
uncertainty of Mr. Johnson's baseball
future has delayed for the time the
formation of a new league-rather. the
amalgamation OF the best cities of the
American Association and the lnterna-
tional League.
II such circuit is formed il will not
operate as third major, though it will
enjoy most of the privileges at presen,
usurped by the big two. II will be of a
class between major and Class "A
rating. Its players will be impervious
TO draft by the National and American
leagues.
A third major league would not fl
in well with the present order OF
things. One of the charms of the pres
ent baseball organization is the world
series. Such a classic, with three con-
testants, would prove unwieldy, TO say
the least Freed from the draft, the
new league would assuredly get bet
ter market for its players. With rating
slightly below that of major, its salary
burdens would be mmimized
For several years Ban Johnson has
attempted 10 interest the National
League in a. major league schedule OF
l40 games. OF course the two major
leagues must work in harmony on the
question. One could not afford 20 re-
main idle while the other was operat-
ing.
The short schedule will meet witt
weighty consideration this winter. fol
it is felt that war conditions may haz-
ard the life of the sport. in view of Sx
isting high cost of operation. Tho
shorter schedule would leave the way
open TO salary retrenchment through
five months (instead Of six contracts
Il also would enable most Of the team:
TO do their spring training at home.

Georgetown Too Much
For Lehigh Eleven

BETHLEHEM, Penn, Oct. 20
Georgetown, or rather Gilroy and Nc
Quade. proved too much for Lehigh
to-day. and the Washington lads
romped away with the game by a score
Of II to 8.
Lehigh failed 70 meet the clever
Georgetown attack in the first half.
and in each period the visitors scored,
the first tally coming on Gilroy's
pretty forward pass TO McQuade and
the second when McQuade broke down
Lehigh's defence fifteen yards from the
goal and snaked mis- way through the
right side of the line for touchdown.
The rest between halves seemed to
do Lehigh good, for from the kickoff
the visitors were outclsssed and soon
ehigh scored.
