CAN BASEBALL GAME
REGAIN OLD PLACE?
Will National PaStime Be as
Popular After the War;
Magnates viii Have Tough Time In
Rebuilding Teams When Great
Struggle Is Ended-Blg Stars
Are Not Coming Back.

Unless peace Is declared before an
other summer rolls around baseball Is
going to have tough time regainlng
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 back seat until the olive
branch is waving over this turbulent
globe of ours, says writer In an ex-
change. In the meantime, with the
oncoming generation engaging In base
ball In 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 crutch.
II is reasonable to figure that n
certain per cent Of the players who
have their John HnncOcks 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 efficlen-
cy, there Will be dozens Of players In
all classes Of leagues who will be un-
able to return to the game. Others
will not return to II 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 Tor
greatly reduced salaries, which are
bound to follow the war.
For the same reason goodly per
cent of the players who up to a year
or so ago wer The coming ellgibles 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 1t Will
take time. The powers that be hung
on as long as they possibly could for
this very reason. They foresaw that
cessation of operations would be
terrific body blow. They have said
so 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 1t is up
against and will be tolerant.
No game Is more red-blooded than
baseball as sport or pastime In Peace
full days, and people will want plenty
Of red-blooded amusement after the
war is over. So the magnates need
not go about hanging crepe on each
other. The future Of the game is
bright enough, and 1t will be much bet.
ter off for having gone through the
fire. This view of the baseball sltua'
tlon is of course contingent only upon
lengthy continuation of the war.
