SUGGESTS SERIES TWEEN STAR
MINES FROM THE EAST AND WEST
Cut Out Shares In World Series From Any But First
Place Winners Abolish City Championship Games
and Substitute Intersectional Games Is Plan To
Broaden Interest Of Baseball Fans In Pastime.

/ Importance OF the contests. 1or the
teams would be representative
While the real Championship talent
OF the years would be in the worlds
series. the star players Of runner-up
teams could be selected by competent
judges and games would result that
would be fully up 70 the standard OF
play that the worlds series might
produce.
There IS no doubt that the incentive
OF being selected for the ali-star team
that would represent the east and
west, respectively, would be suffi-
cient for all the players TO do their
best during the championship season.
II would be q distinction not to be
denied. The financial returns, too. for
the players would be possibly as large
as II they had shared in the big
classic
The idea OF a sectional series played
between PLAYERS born in the section
they represented is what would catch
the baseball public with 4 most ap-
pealinE force. There would not only
be national rivalry enlisted. but also
local one, for there Is little doubt
that every city In which the games
would be played would have at least
one local player on the teams.
Series OF Wide Scope.
Series would in consequences be Of
much wider scope than the worlds
series that is played n but two cities
and with a possibility. too. OF not a
single player Of either team being a
native Of those two cities. Il is the
local flavor that brings out the real
enthusiasm. In time I look for both
big leagues to adopt the plan OF hsv-
ing none but strictly state local play
ers on their respective teams. Such
plan may be q long way off. but IL
will add untold interest and popu-
larity to baseball when conditions are
such that state pride and loyalty can
be catered TO.
As 1t is now, take Manhattan for
instance, the only native OF Greater
New York OF the Giants is Heinie
Zimmerman. Jack Warner for years
was the only native New York man
on the same team This same condi-
tons exist in nearly every other city
in the big leagues.
There are so few star players, how
ever, who are natives Of city dis
tricts in the big league circuit that
It would probably he impossible TO
limit players 10 cities. but state pride
is just as intense as that Of cities and
the rivalry between the east and west
is certainly keen. so that sectional
representative teams would have 10
be made the starters for the new de-
parture, when the time comes for It.
