Tom Watkins Viewpoint.

Tom Watkins. secretary of the Mem

holders, is hardly as optimistic in re-
gard to next season as President Mar
TN. However, Secretary Watkins be-
lieVes that with such an early closing
OF the war, things may shape up so
that the league may again operate, but
he is inclined to be cautious and not
hurry back into the game until he is
assured that the time is ripe for. the
reopening.
All over the league the magnates
are voicing their opinions relative TO
the proposed reopening, and when the
club owners meet at the call of Presi-
dent Bot Baugh, which is expected to
pc soon, all will have a vote in regard
TO the matter and to decide whether
the game shall be disinterred or re-
ViVed for next season.
The general feeling among the club
owners last season when the curtain
went down on the 1918 year was to
reopen as soon as possible and to keen
