NEW YORK, March 21.-Unless

the playful stunts that gummed
things UP couple OF years ago. Ed G.
Barrow, president of the international
league, believes the coming baseball
season Will be the most profitable
the minor leagues have enjoyed since
the prosperous days before Jim Gil
more and his gang threw their Ia
nous monkey wrench into the ma
chinery.
Barrow today pointed out the COM
ing test of the inter-league games be-
tween the Information league and the
American association, the publicity
that has been given to baseball dur
ing the winter and the settling down
OF the public to take baseball as 1t is
without arguing the merits OF the
Federais as compared with organized
baseball
II didn't feel as II last year would
be good one" Barrow said. land l
didn't say X would. I'm quite a
bunch player and I've got an awful
strong bunch right now that we've
seen the last of those awful days.
"The inter-league series, I believe,
Is something that hasn't been greatly
considered by the fans, so far, but be-
fore 1t has been started there Will be
tremendous amount of enthusiasm
"The idea first originated in the
brain Of Garry Hermann when he
proposed such n series between the
National and American leagues. IT
fell through there and then we began
to talk it over with the American as
ISOLATION club owners. but the Feds
came along and forced us to drop it,
We were afraid to leave our terri
tory for long period.
There will be some added mileage
expense and the trip west for us will
be long and hard. but we firmly be-
lieye that the added attraction will full
ly offset any added expenset. Bad
weather is the only thing that can
prevent US from advancing a long
step toward the goal of popularity
the game enjoyed before the Federals
wrecked things"
