Western Association Starts
Championship Race Today

Tulsa and Fort Smith, President Bell
recommended that all clubs take up
military drilling, turn their parks
over TO the government to use as drill
grounds when not being used for
games, and especially urged that the
stars and stripes floa, continually
over all Western association fields
Baseball is the national game"
said President Bells statement, 'and
baseball. from the majors to the most
obscure minor, should set an example
in patriotism. | believe by drilling
and by keeping continually before the
people the need for military training,
that baseball players will do more
good for their country at this time
by continuing in the game and
stimulating interest in enlisting than
by going to war themselves. 1t may
become necessary later for players,
owners and league officials to enlist
for active service. If that time comes,
the. Western association should be
ready to produce several companies
of hardened athletes, well grounded
In the fundamentals of military serv,

forebearance and patience will be ex-

in dealing with the chaotic Russian
situation because il is realized that
German intrigue, working through

American representatives in Russia,
