President so much that he has issued
personal statement on the matter. The
danger of violating at home the honor of
a democracy for which we fight. wh;c.
the President accented in his statement
appears to have caught the imagination
of editors and newspapers all around
the country. Most of the newspaper Com.

extra-legal measures to satisfy their sense

1888 lynchings in the United States from
1885 to December 81, 1915. "The Atlanta

dinary meaning for Georgia, which "to.

lynchings to its discredit for the first
half of 1918 than any other state in the

but little worse than Illinois, which occu.

The arguments in favor of exempting
ball players just wouldn't stand up, as
"The New Haven Register" suggests:
Even on the arguments advanced by the
attorneys for the players, professional base
ball never had a chance. 1t did not require
a lawyer to see the falacy of the argu-
ments. 1t did not require any acumen to
see the false reasoning of claim which
held that with the mental equipment
sufficient to earn $1,000 a month was unfit
for any useful occupation,' or that the
farm the player ran as a side line would
have to be given up and the country would
lose the food produced were this salary
stopped.
80 also with the maintenance of the
morale Of the American people. The at
tendaqce at the big league baseball games
was an infntesimal fraction of the popula-
tlon Of the country. The only statement of
fact any of the defenders of the PLAYERS
could cite without fear of contradiction was
that baseball is our great national game"
Indeed, the maintenance of the morale
at home seems to be the one argument
which was given serious attention. On
this point "The Boston Globe" contends:
I'm the maintenance of this morale base
ball plays part We are living in time
of crises when nerves are likely to grow
tense, and anything which aids them to re-
lax and rest, producing a healthy reaction,
would seem to be essential to the mainte

on whose efforts in turn depends the eff

marks in an editorial urging that boys
stay in school to acquire the training
that will be so much needed during and

this war is war Of maturity a war
Of technique, and when the age limit was
set at twenty-one it was done with q pur-

"This should bear plain message to our
boys between fifteen and twenty-one. They
need training training not only for the
war period but for afterward, when many
burdens will fall upon them which would
ordinarily come upon the previous genera

day not only to himself but to his country
and the world for the use he makes of his
life. There is not time to experiment for
two or three years before finding the right

then seek every means which is open for
training and assistance in his future ca

"This burden should not rest alone upon

NEW YORK. May John H.

a baseball genius
The Sage Of Auburn" is a real
veteran in the game. for he has
been connected with baseball for
many years and there isn't an angle
Of the pastime which is unfamiliar
to him.
As secretary of the National As

clubs Farrell has served l. 9 AMI
faithfully. Many a time has sage

tottering minor league, and with
Mike Sexton, the venerable presi-

When the club owners of the dis
rupted international league decided
TO reOrganiZe their circuit this
spring the first important thing thev
set out TO do was to find a man cap
able of taking charge of affairs for
them. They did not look far, but

Of the -cague as its president put
new life into the war-weary club
owners and the International league
was saved to baseball.
BY merging the International
with the New York stat league. Of
which Farrell was president, the cir
cult was made more compact than
ever before and the best paying
cities in both leagues now make
up the new organization. Farrell
now has a wider scope TO display his
baseball ability. That he will pull
the new league through and event.
ually put it on a firm basis is a
practical certainty, for Farrell
doesn't know what the word can't
means.
No man in the pastime knows
more ball players than Farrell He
has the name of every ball player in
the minor leagues at his finger tips.
and he knows all about every man
jack of them. As president of the
New York State league he dug up
many promising players for his club
owners. His league produced such
stars as Eddie Murphy, Wallie Pipp
