Petty Evasion

CEcRETARY BAKER, leaning backward to be
- utterly fair to baseball after the heads of the
major leagues had made punk show of them
selves in excusably emitting to present their case
adequately to the provost marshal says that the
may continue jas it is until September 1. So baseball
announces that it will close its after September g.
and then play the customary worlds SERIES
In this petty evasion of fair and consderate rul-
ing will perceive precisely the spirit of baseball
todaythe thickheaded tactics that sooner or later
will disgust every with the conduct of the national
game, as they have already sickened many.
If there any disposition obey the strict letter
of Secretary Bakers ruling the worlds SERIES if it
played at ALL would be arranged it could be COM
peted by September /, and the game would be tenn
porarly sheved with honor. But baseball has been
petted and spoiled until it has to greatly over
estimate it's Importance; much so that even a
kind government order apparently is be evaded that
a few dollars may not escape.
With luck baseball may yet close down, so far as
men between twentyone and thirty-one years of age
concerned and retain shred of it's erstwhle honor
and prestige but it looks though it is going to take
lot of luck in the absence of quality sometimes re-
ferred to brains.

The 1918 Giants will be remembered as an odd
combination. First they too good be true and

they would right themselves But at times the Cubs
seemed to have assmiated something of the spirit the
Boston Braves had in 1914 and as such they were un
