IMMEDIATELY following the cessa-
1 ton Of activity on the baseball dia-
monds Of this country the foundation
for a thorough and complete reorgan-
ization Of the sport professionally VIII

war the master minds" Of the sport

haustive study Of how baseball or
Eanization can be improved. BY the
time the war IS over, and the time
arrives Tor the resumption Of the
sport, the club owners viii be pre-
pared with old basic principles re-
modelled and an entirely new super
structure for the conduct Of the game.
There Is not he slightest doubt
that the American league club
owners Will vote TO suspend Op-
erations for the duration OF the
war. Nor a. there the slightest
doubt that National IeaEuers will
pursue the same course. At the
same time the club owners will
vote that the two leagues are
still in existence In other words,
they viii vote TO suspend playing
but TO maintain their Organlza-
fiOna intact.
They must do this to protect their
baseball property and franchises. At

ization viii be prosecuted with all the
cool deliberatiOn that ample time az

The threatened break between the
National and American leagues, as q
result OF the Scott Perry case, has
been averted- The suspension Of play

and devise ways and means for so
recognizing the national commission
that he many difficulties which have
been experienced in the past may be
eliminated in a great degree in the
future.
Minors Represented.
The national commission Is OF

Of representation on the bench Of
basebalIs supreme court They were
somewhat appeased last winter when
the board of arbitration, on which
they had representation, was organ
lied. This was a compromise move
ment effected by the major leagues at
q time when the relations between
the national association Of minor
leagues and the major leagues were
seriously strained
All Of these things can now be
satisfactorily adjusted There is no
good reason why baseball should not
be favored with a greatly perfected
organization when the sport is re-
sumed, and every effort should be
expended by those in whose custody
the sport rests to attain this great
objective.
New PyaIers.
Besides the reorganization OF the
sport, there is something else to think
about The suspension OF play means
something less. 1t means that when
the leagues begin operations again
few OF the faces and names that have
been so familiar to the fans for the
last few years viii again play an
active part. New faces and new
names viii be found on the rosters.
Undoubtedly all OF the clubs
will hold title to the players they
now have under contract, but il
Is to be expected that many Of
them viii not again take up the
bat when the struggle for world
democracy has been successfully
prosecuted by Uncle sam and his
allies. New players viii have 10
be found.
No doubt all Of the clubs will
endeavOr to reach some arrangement
with their team managers. whereby
the services Of the later may be re-
tanned. Just how this viii be ef-
fected is something that viii have to
be worked out in each Individual case.
Managers Busy.
It viii be the duty of these man
ayers TO endeavor TO keep track Of
the players who are now passing out
Of diamond service into a greater
service, and TO keep in touch with
the development Of players among
the semi-professional and industrial
league teams Throughout the country,

be in a position to recruit the new
major league clubs. This will be a
difficult task and one which viii re-
quire considerable thought on the
part OF the club owners.
