McGuire's University School, Benedic-

the war and graduation have stripped

GREAT |NROADS MADE
ON MINORS BY THE WAR
Smaller Circuits Experience Tough
est Season in Twenty Years as
Result of Conditions.
TERRITORY is PROTECTED
Common-Sense Ruling OF National
Board ReconciIcs Owners to Situ-
alton That Is Beyond Their Con-
trol-Should Foster Interest.
BI JOHN II. FARRELL.
Secretary of the National Association
of Professional ID. Il. Clubs.


AUBURN, y. Y. September 15.-
Tho minor leagues this year have ex-
perenced the toughest Shedding they
have seen for a period of twenty years
At least.
The declaration of war and the pro-
mitigation of the rules and regula-
tons governing the drafting for tho
army have almost completely occu-
pied the attention of tho public, espe-
cially in the smaller cities.
The loyal minor leaguers stood the
strain as long as they possibly could.
When they reached the breaking point
they confidently looked to the national
board. which is the minor league gov
eruinS body, for relief and help from
Il condition that had not existed be-
fore for fifty years. In all. some
twelve leagues applied for relief from
the burden, after making great finan-
lial sacrifices.
After due consideration the board
directed ruling which has brought
about peace of mind among minor
league clubowners to a great extent.
for through this ruling territory and
the title TO players has been protected
With the ruling which protects play
crs and territory until such time as
the national board may see fit to make
further rulings. or the war comes to
an end, the temper Of the minor leagues
is now reconciled in SO far as possible
to conditions.
The hands of the minor leagues are
practically tied by conditions they can
not control, and for this reason 1t is
more than probable that 1918 will see
but few. if any minor. leagues in opera
ton. 1t is to be hoped and expected
that the leagues will exhaust every
possible effort before giving up the
struggle, yet it is the consensus of
opinion that should the war continue.
minor leagues in general should sus-
pend operations for that period
1t is believed that the rest given
minor league territory would bring
minor league baseball back with a
bang the following year. The club
owners and board members feel that
the players fully realizing the un-
usual conditions caused by the war.
will gladly and willingly cooperate.
thus retaining local league organiza-
tions and thereby guaranteeing en-
ployment for thousands of players in
tho future.
There is no way of computing the
actual losses of the minor leagues
due to the war. That they have been
tremendous is certainty, for with
patronage threadbare and many play-
ers taken in the draft, the minor
league magnates have been buffetcd
about on the stormiest financial sea
which they have ever attempted to
sail. That few of the minors finished
the season Is a big tribute to the
stability Of the national association.
for those who went through did so
only by shouldering losses in the ag-
gregate, and few clubowners will he
able to show profits.
