American league, has sounded warn
ing against the double-header evil He
ascribes to bargain days the great
falling off in regular attendance. Be
cause of the rules of the two maj
leagues, which forbid double-headers
between clubs during the first series
in the various cities, these double
headers fall thickest from midseason
on, when interest in all but the prom
inent clubs has begun to wane.
Charles Weeghman, president of the
CUBS, at the annual meeting of the
National league in this city the week
after next, will attack this rule most
vigorously. He believes that if double
headers are permitted from the be-
ginning business will benefit greatly

Ed. BANG FAVORS
B|G LEAGUE MERGER
Cleveland Sport Writer'S Plan Is
Feasible But improbable

Ed Bang. the well-known baseball
critic. of Cleveland, advocates as a
solution of existing major league
troubles merger of the National and
American circuits. This is not exact
ly an original suggestion. It was
sprung some time ago by an Eastcr,,
writer.
There is little likelihood Of any
merger, particularly now that the re-
lations between the major leagues
have been strained almost to the
breaking point. Besides, Bang and
his contemporary have suggested
ten-club league from the com bination.
The proposition contemplates one
club for each of the following cities:
New York, Chicago, Boston, Brook
lyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincin-
natl, Cleveland. Detroit and st. Louis.
Some Wizardry Necessary.
A ten-club league certainly would
be an innovation. But on second
thought. it might require some wizar-
dry to operate it. Naturally, it would
have to be composed Of Eastern and
Western wings, and no way yet has
been devised whereby a bunch of five
teams can be kept busy among them
| selves at the same time. It takes
| pairs Of teams to provide games, and
! schedule that would keep certain
| aggregations idle part of the time
would be unwieldy in the extreme.
1t Is quite true that baseball in cer-
tain major league cities has been at
a very low ebb for year or so. This
is particularly true of the American
! league cause in Washington, Ban
/ Johnson has declared repeatedly that
| 10
quitting the capital city during the
present war. 1t is matter of pa
triotism and pride to stick by the
capital.
There are certain cities quite capa-
BILE of supporting rival major league
clubs. New York, Chicago and Bos-
ton have all been benefited by oppo-
! sition. st. Louis, perhaps. is too small
| for two leagues; Philadelphia is a
25-cent town. But the men in the
baseball business, almost without ex-
ception, love the publicity of the
| game. There would be a high old
time adjusting any scheme to have
some of them drop out. The money
involved naturally would be too much
! for these unsettled times.
| Nor is there any reason to believe
the major league bosses would care

the annual world series. which has
become the greatest public institu-
ton of organized baseball. This fall
classic more than any other feature
has helped to popularize the game.
| It is true some few magnates can be
found who are not strong boosters
for the worlds series. These. with
out exception. are of the National
league. They have no fault with the
! big classic. They simply deplore re-
peated National league reverses.
No Change in Schedule.
Undoubtedly the two leagues Will
operate separately a. usual in 1918
with q view to sending up the respec-
Tive pennant winners for the world
championship. And it looks more and
