Smith can find John Smith.
Before Mrs. Smith goes to camp
in search of John she should have
John write her telling her the
number Of his company, his bri-
gade and his regiment. Then all
she has to do to find him is to
walk from the Tacoma bus sta

the cantonment bus station and
ask bus driver the best method
of reaching the part of the can
torment where John is stationed.
He will take her there for 10

Minor Leagues Facing Serious
Situation at Annual Meeting

Bear stories from minor
league managers along about the
time of the annual meeting of the
National Association of Profess
sional Baseball Leagues in the
past have been as common as
those emanating from football
camps on the eve of a big game
and generally have been given no
more credence.
But this year the situation is
different and the minor league
moguls who will assemble at
Louisville Nov. 13 to Is will be
confronted by the most serious
conditions they have ever faced.
The season of 1917 was the
most disastrous the minors have
ever gone thru. Many leagues
were forced to disband and few
made money.
Even a Glass A organization,
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-11-08

the Western League, faced bank
ruptcy and disruption and was
only saved by quick shift of
teams.
The prospect for 1918 is not at
all encouraging and 1t is certain
some of the magnates will favor
disseminating minor league ball
In the lower classes until after the
war, or until conditions are more
settled.
These conditions have caused
talk of third league to embrace
cities in the American Association
and International League to elm
mate long hauls to Kansas City
and Minneapolis in the former
and Baltimore and Richmond in
the latter.
The meeting will be an epochal
one and may mark a revolution
airy period in the minors.
