UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 1.-"Judgine
from conditions in Our own circuit, It
is my opinion that the minor leagues
will pull through the present season
without any trobule," Ed G.. Barrow,
president of the International league
said today. The International has
probably received the hardest blows
of any minor league in existence since
1912. Wrecked by the Federals. flood
ed by rains, it has struggled bravely
along This year which promised to
be a good one, rains have postponed
many games and war threatens to
cause more trouble. Two of the In
ternational's clubs are in Canada.
where the war spirit has made itself
felt since sI9l4 These two clubs have
suffered greatly.
Barrow's statement was made after
hearing that the North Carolina
league had disbanded.
Il know it is hard for some of the
small leagues" Barrow said, but they
should go through il it is at all pos
sible. Wen finish our season If II
takes every dollar we have. We've
gone through lot Of trouble guess
we can stand little more"
AeuiiON UcSldlSu AU Ouc Cau say
what the future of baseball b likely
to bring.
Next year our bali players may be
taken. 1t may be advisable to close
our parks for couple Of seasons. In
fact. some clubs would save money
by doing that Well Just have to wait |
for next season to see."
Willie Mitchell, ink, pitched his |
second shutout OF the year for the |
Tigers, beating the Yankees.
Eddie Rousch handed in three blows |
as his part OF Red victory over the I
Cardinals.
Larry Gardeners home run with
couple on the sacks was sufficient TO
discourage the Indians.
