be accompanied by a fair. a candid
and adequate statement of the facts
which such an investigation has dis
closed. We should of course, in no
way make any statements which,
from a military point Of view should
not be made. and if we had basis
for civil or criminal proceedings we
should properly reserve the evidence
so far as it would be appropriately
disclosed upon the trial and pre-
viously withheld.
But l am very sure shat the
country would not be content wit
our inquiry and particularly if we
discover no grounds for further pro-
ceedings. unless we showed the
basis for our conclusion in an ade-
quate report Of the facts we have
ascertained. This certainly should
be dispassionate and impartial and
be confined to facts. When we are
in a position TO make such a report
OF our inquiry we shall know the
facts, and il will be reassuring the
country and support our inquiry and
its reputation for integrity. il we
state concisely, but fairly and COM
pletely the results Of our investiga-
ton
IF it is understood that we con-
template this course of action I
should suppose that there would be
general disposition TO permit our
investigation 10 proceed unembar-
raised by any other parallel course
of action. Clearly as we may recog-
nize the authority TO conduct an
other official inquiry at the same
time. We cannot doubt that any Of
fetal inquiry into the same course
of conduct, although with another
aim. would tend to make difficult.
II not impossible, the successful
prosecution of our own. Either
nothing of Importance would be
found. which would make such an
inquiry needless. or points would be
brought out which would at once
suggest to the guilty. if there be
such. where effort should be made
70 block successful prosecution
Even with the best intention in the
world it would be almost impossible
to know in advance what should be
gone INTO and what SnOulQ be left
untouched. We might he following
promising clue. only TO find our
efforts unintentionally thwarted.
I'VE are instructed 10 provide a
prompt and thorough investigation
and my desire is that we should
have the fullest opportunity to make
such an investigation and in order
that we may have this opportunity,
| il is desira bic that il should be gen
orally understood that when we are

have ascertained in the manner I
have suggested above, to the end
that all may be satisfied TO await

when we have reached that re-

port would have such thoroughness

CAN BASEBALL. GAME
REGBl'l OLD PLACE?
viii National Pastime Be as
Popular bfter the War?
Msgnates viii Have Tough Time In
Rebuilding Teams When Great
Struggle Is Ended-eie Stars
Are Not Coming Back.

Unless peace is declared before an.
other summer rolls around baseball Is
going to have tough time regaining
the high standard 1t has attained after
long years of operation.
Under the ruling of Secretary Baker,
not to mention the change of draft
ages. there will be no baseball next
season. Baseball Is nonessential and
must take u back seat until the olive
branch Is waving over this turbulent
globe of ours, says writer In I'm ex-
change. In the meantime, with the
oncoming generation engaging In base
ball In Il purely amateur way, the
magnates will be up against 1t when
the time rolls around to rebuild teams.
for there won't be enough talent avail
able to pad q crutch.
Ii Is reasonable to figure that a
certain per cent of the players who
have their John Hancocks on con.
tracts now will return to the game
when peace returns to the world. Yet.
compared with the few who will come
back retaining their old.tlme enicien-
cy, there will be dozens of players In
oil classes Of leagues who will be I'M
able to return to the game. Others
will not return to 1t because Of the
fact that baseball will have lost Its
glamour for them.
The big stars--the boys like Cobb.
Collins, Speaker and Alexander--who
have been paid enormous salaries,
have laid by enough OF this worlds
goods to keep them for the rest OF
their days, and they are not coming
back to labor on the diamond for
greatly reduced salaries, which are
bound to follow the war.
For the same reason n goodly per
cent Of the players who up to year
or SO ago were the coming eligibies for
big league Jobs will pass up their base.
ball aspirations for other lines, and
the incentive for the youngsters will
not be as great.
Baseball will finally come back as
strong as ever, Of course, but II will
take time. The powers that be hung
on as long as they possibly could for
this very reason. They foresaw that
70 cessation Of operations would be II
terrific body blow. They have said
no many times. There Is nothing that
could have happened to the baseball
business which could have hurt It
more.
During the reconstruction period.
which Is going to involve nearly every
country on the globe. baseball will
have to go through reconstruction
period Of Its own, and baseball will
weather the tough days ahead because
the public Will realize what It Is up
against and will be tolerant.
No game Is more red.blooded than
baseball rs sport or pastimc In Beace-
full days, and people will want plenty
Of red-blOoded amusement after the
war Is over. So the magnntes need
not go about hanging crepe on each
other. The future of the game Is
bright enough. and II will be much bet
ter Off for having gone through the
fire. This view of the baseball situa-
tion Is Of course contingent only upon
lengthy continuation of the war.
