No Major Baseball League
Until After The War
(By Associated Press.)

new York, Oct. 12.-Major League
baseball, in so far as it concerns the
National League, will be officially ter
minated at the annual meeting of the
association to be held in this city Cd
Dec. 10. At the gathering the sem
ior organization will formally wind
up the business affairs of the season
Just closed and enter upon a hiatus
which will remain undisturbed until
such time as international affairs an.
pear to warrant revival of the pro-
fessional end Of the national game.
This, at least, Is the intention of
the magnates at the present time and
nothing short of most sensational
change in the war status within the
next two months will cause shift in
the plans of the league. 1t requires a
long period of preparation and much
detailed work, prior to the opening of
each pennant race, and it is recog-
nized that in the present unsettled
state of baseball affairs it would be
impossible to renew the operation of
the circuit without ample time in
which to formulate arrangements. A
declaration of peace coming lats next
Spring would prove of little value to
the big league clubs, according to the
opinion of prominent magnates.
1t has been pointed out that the
players OF the various teams would he
scattered to the four points Of the
compass; that some of the baseball
parks will have been adapted to other
forms of business; that problems
would arise during the REIMBURSEMENT
period which have never confronted
baseball arrangements and that the
best policy will be to make haste
slowly. General opinion appears to
support the idea that new and bet
ter order of professional baseball
will come forth at the proper time
but that much of this advantage
would be lost if the big leagues
rushed blindly back to the game at
the first hint of an opening.
1t is understood, however, that the
magnates will not tie their hands by
any definite statements or arrange
ments but will leave the affairs of the
organization in such fluid state that
business can be resumed at the prop
er moment with as slight a jar as
| possible The Office of the league
will be continued and Secretary Hey
der will, in all probability, lie re-
elected to his present position with
full authority to act for the league
in all matters which have heretofore
been in the hands Of the president as
we'll as the ohter elective officers Of
the league.

Baseball as played indoors during
tho winter months In the United
States is proving remarkably popular
among the Allied soldiers in France
It is played, of course, out Of doors,
but the large indoor ball is used and
the rules of indoor baseball adhered
to. It seems to be an easier game as
well for the British soldiers to learn
than the more scientific and technica!
outdoor baseball. It Is quickly
learned and its calibre is not too high
to admit an amateur. The English
soldiers find that any good cricket
player possesses sufficient qua'ifica-
tons to feel at home in few in
nings.
On athletic fields and aerodromes
all over France, one may see scores
of British. Canadian, Australian and
American officers and men, playing
indoor baseball with vim and eager
ness never displayed at cricket,
Indoor baseball knocks cricket In
to a cooked hat" declared the star
cricketer of one of the Guards regi.
ments the other day. Probably the
quicker action, the wider inclusive.
ness of the game, and the laughs II
arouses among the players and spec
tators-to say nothing Of the roofing
appeal more to the soldier in France
than the more serious and sedate
game of cricket, and the equipment Is
simpler and cheaper.

Missing Steamer Cyclops
Creqets Another Sea Mystery

Washington, June What be-
came of the missing collier Cy-
clops?
IS she a prize in some German
port the victim of treachery? Does
she lie disabled in some unire-
quentd cove of the tropical seas,
driven there and helpless by acci-
dent
Or has she made her last voyage
and with more than 800 souls turn
ed up in Port OF Missing Men to
join seventeen other ships of the
American navy which have disap-
peared just as mysteriously since
1881?
Sailing from Barbados in the
West Indies, March 4 with com
plement OF POS men, the great 1900
ton naval collier has not since been
sighted or reported. BY order OF
the navy department all available
navy craft in southern waters have
been making a dragnet search ior
the vessel, bat daily the conviction
among Officials grows stronger
that the great modern mystery OF
the sea will remain unsolved.
Continue to Search.
But the search for the ship still
is maintained with undated IN
tensity. Cruisers and destroyers
have retraccd her route. Every
island among the scores that dot
that portion OF the sea is being
carefully scrrtinized for any clue.
But the unremitting anxiety OF the
