SERIES IN FRANCE
Organized Baseball Is Not
Dead, Just Transferred
Abroad

Organized baseball is not killed: Il
merely is transferred to somewhere in
France" for the duration of the war.
such Is the expressed opinion of John
Thomas Powers, organizer and first
president of the late Federal League,
who is going to France with the we'll
detailed intention of gridroning that
fair land with baseball leagues of gradu-
ally increasing Importance. from the
'andlots teams which practice in No
Mans Land up to the real big league
champions which will settle the suprem-
acy on diamonds in the south of France
next winter
THE next worlds championship base
ball series will be decided somewhere
In FraH:e,'' says Iohn Thomas Powers,
and while he does not go 81 far as to
predict the exact leagues which will
clash in this classic so far from it's ma
tive heath,s he comedies it may lie be-
tween the Y. NJ. c. A. League leader
and the X. of c. League topliner. In
asmuch as he has a long record of or
ganizing baseball leagues, from inter-
church up to nationwide organizations,
Mr.. Powers's prediction is we'll worth
considering, particularly as he adds
convincing facts.
Mr.. Powers is going to France as a
Y. M. C. A. physical director, with spe-
cial attention to the organizing of base
ball "over there" In addition to or
ganizing the Federal League, of which
he was president in 1913. he organized
the Illinois League, the Ne
vada State League. the Colorado Utah
League and forty local leagues in Chi
cago.
MY scheme is to have league in
every regiment" explained Mr.. Powers
These can be organized by the Y. NJ
c. A. physical directors and by elmina-
ton produce their champion teams The
regimental champions will have contests
for the division championship and the
division champions will fight for the
corps championship Eventually will
come the series for the championship of
the army. which will be the same as
the worlds championship If baseball Is
shut down in this country. All the best
young players affected by the War De-
partment ruling will be in the army.
