Baseball-NeNt Year

VARIOUS opinions are offered aucnL tho
Y status of basSball next season. but 1t
all gets down to the old standby nobody
knows" Toronto and Montreal have proved
that baseball CAN live, even after three
Years of war, but there IL also d different
angie here. Toronto and Montreal teams
were made up In tho main OF bali players
from the L. s. \. Their lne-up9 we're
changed but little. III Toronto the team
was improved. as this club won "A l'ennant.
II will be different this side of the border
Tho men are going into service via the draft
as their time comes for there is. of course
no other way. This is very likely To bring
about ii lop-s 'ded co"dition But as base
ball IS such u molecular, minor detail conf
pared 20 war, there is nothing to bo done
about II.
Clubs that have lost few men might sci!
ono or two players TO clubs Ike Cleveland
That have been struck a vital hl7w
just how much harder other clubs VIII
bc hit by May or June is also something
else which only May or June will show.
But there will be neither Il dem-nd nor
an expectation nor chance that baseball
will be favored in any way beyond any
ether amusement line.

the ban on this L. uch person. lie has a
left hand that shoots and jabs, and more
inportant it lands. Eddie pulled "a tendon
or something in his right arm at the start
OF the bout and IN the fourth round OBrlcn
was forced to stop the bout rs Eddie Wa"
boxing with his left hand and Lynch seemed
to have half a dozen.
In the fourth Lynch came out Of his
corner like u panther caring for her cubs.
lie tore into Eddie and landed at least hf-
teen blows with both hands. Eddie backed
20 the ropes and was rushing into clinch
as oBrien stepped between the boys and
waved Lynch TO his corner Lynch Is real
conner, and If properly handled and coun-
scled he will prove one of our very best
scrappers. Joe looked to DC about nineteen

There Is no doubt about his ability.
