After the army had passed through

InternatiOnals' Fate
To Be Known Soon:
Need Sunday Games

New York, March 21.-Minor
league magnates are awaiting with
unusual interest the outcome of the
meeting of the International league,
scheduled to be held, March 20. The
conference will be the second since
the annual meeting of the league was
adjourned late in December. 1t is
expected that at the coming session
the club owners will decide definitely
whether the organization will con-
tinue its circuit during the season of
1918 or abandon play for the dura-
ton of the war. Such evidence as
is available in advance would appear
to indicate that the league will ope-
rate this summer.
Several of the club owners have
clearly intimated that they are op-
posed to a continuation of play un-
der the present unsettled conditions,
incidental to the war. Others stand
ready to back baseball for another
season at least, but just which side
will hold the majority vote cannot
be stated before the day'of the meet
ing. If it is decided to discontinue
the schedule there is a bare pos
sibility that one or more of the clubs
will form n new league by joining
hands with other city com binations
which have in past seasons been a
part of lower classification circuits.
Awful Blow to Baseball
A decision on the part of the In
ternational league to drop out would
be a severe blow to organized base
ball, for the association is one of

the pioneers among the minor
leagues and steady and important
factor in the development of the
game and of players for major
league circuits. The league was or
ganized in 1892 and continued with
out a break until the close of the
a two-season schedule was played,
but since 1898 the pennant race has
been along the lines of the majors.
Providence, with six championship
pennants to it's credit, leads all the
cities, which have at various times
held membership in the organiza-
ton. Rochester comes next with five
and Buffalo and Toronto are tied
with four each, while Binghamton,
Erie, Syracuse, Springfield, Montreal.
Jersey City, Baltimore and Newark
have each captured one titular flag.
Decision Is Important
The outcome of the conference is
likely to have distinct bearing up
on the decision of other minor
leagues in relation to their plans for
the coming season. Several of these
organizations are in rather an un-
certain frame of mind regarding the
financial outlook for baseball on the
smaller circuits during 1918 and are
likely to be swayed, to some extent,
by the example set by the Interna-
tional league club owners. Up to
the present time less than half of
the leagues which began the 1917
season have prepared and promul-
gated their schedules for 1918.
