Baseball men, in the major leagues
about the work of arranging for the
coming season with timidity. Fear OF
a declaration of war, following the
severance of diplomatic relations with
Germany, has led to waiting program
on the part of the minor magnates
and a policy of retrenchment by the
major league heads.
In the event of war there will be
few minor league championships
fought for this year, and the major
leaguers will be compelled to play
close to the board. In the event of
American participation in the gigantic
struggle no one can predict the effect
on baseball Such a contingency
might result in the abandonment of
baseball for the year turnout the land.
However, those plotting teams are
taking the view that there is no great
probability of the American govern
ment becoming involved in actual
warfare. and feel that the only thing
to be feared is a period of tight money.
and are making their plans accord
ngly.
Effects on Game in Iowa.
Three-I league magnates are dubious
of the success of the 1917 season. Con-
fronted with the necessity of bolster
ing up wobbly circuit, and with
practically every club admittedly
busted" the possibility of war or a
tight money market makes the out
look far from rosy.
There has been rumor of a years
lay loft in the tri-state circuit, but this
seems unlikely unless the war situa-
ton becomes more serious
Western league magnates outwardly
are less concerned, but it is pretty
sure that the contest will .be made
with less outlay of money by all
teams in that organization. The West
ern enters upon the new season with a
brighter outlook from the fact that
some changes have been made in the
circuit and new blood IS expected to
increase interest turnout the league.
Central Association Has Problem.
The Central association has a prob
lem confronting it which at present is
causing officials to pay little heed to
the foreign relations of the govern
ment. The formation of the league is
causing sleepless nights for the direc
tors of the associations destinies, and
there will be time to consider the
effect of possible war scare after it
is determined whether eight clubs
may be secured. AT present, however.
the prospect for filling the vacancies
is more promising. Dubuque is show
ing signs of life and President Ford is
active in a campaign to arouse suffi-
cient interest in that city to organize
an association to support a team.
Then there is a possibility, altho con-
sidered slight, that Ottumwa may yet
find way to finance a club and build
new plant and retain its franchise. =
With the circuit completed it Is be-
lieved that only actual participation
in the war, with call for men for
active service, would cause lay off

AMES FIVE IN EASY WIN.
Cyclones Defeat GrinneiI in One Sided
Game by Score Of 10 to s.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Feb. 1.-Ames had things
pretty much their own way in the
game against the Grinnell five here
yesterday afternoon and after taking
the lead with a basket at the start OF
the contest the Cyclones went on and
rolled up a count of is to against
the lighter scarlet five. The Grinnell
team scored only two goals from the
field while Ames counted six.
Fouls called by Referee Hedges
against the Ames team would have al
most evened up the score mad Grin
nell been able to count on them. But
neither Swan nor Meacham could To-
cate the ring and together they only
scored four out of about twelve
chances from the foul line.
Morgan led the scoring for Ames
with three field goals and Erskine fol-
lowed with two. The latter had hard
luck on baskets during the last hall
and to all appearances should have
added three OF four more to the Ames
score. During most Of the final period
he camped under the Grinnell basket
and several times had open shots
which he should have made.
The Grinnell five did not play up to
form in the judgment Of local basket
ball fans but allowance must be made

showing better control than during any
previous year he had been connected
with the game. He has a world OF
stuff, his only failing being inability
to locate the plate at critical times

IN the pinches as any other time. Cen
trail association fans will hope he
makes good with Detroit.

Review Of Sports
and Athletic News

in the Central this year.
Six towns ready to start, with their
money on board, insures an opening
If two other cities will accept berths.
The six present members have signed
men and have invested money for the
coming campaign and 1t is unlikely
that any action looking toward the
abandonment of the game for a season
will be taken unless the war situation
becomes more serious.
Fewer Leagues to Start.
There will be fewer minor leagues
this year and the decrease in organi-
cations may eventually work to the
good of baseball. Big changes in the
management of the game are
promised. some of which may tend to
strengthen the clubs financially.
Among these are:
Cut in salaries of major league
players and a like cut for minor
leaguers who are now drawing salaries
beyond the prescribed salary limits.
Recruiting of major league clubs
from the minors, and the, possible
abandonment Of the practice of sign
ing college players and stars of in
dependent organizations by the major
league managers.
Filling the ranks Of minor league
clubs with men from lower rank or
CARNATIONS or from semi professional
and amateur teams.
In short this means that the minor
leagues are to become the training
schools for the majors. as they should
be, and that the major leagues shall
no longer pay tribute to a few stars at
the expense Of young players OF
ability.
