Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES y. coRBErr.

The foundation of organized baseball is tottering and the whole structure is likely to collapse. The game that has weathered the storms of more than 4 years sems about to founder.
 The menace of war, the resignation of John K Tener, the threatened abdica- tion of Ban Johnson, the internal strife in each of the big leagues and the inter- league bitterness-those are some Of the troubles that now afflict the professional part of the national game.
 But worst of all, is the apathy of the public toward baseball. It was expected that the attendance would slump this year-but no one figured so great fall ing off as has occurred. Only two or three of the teams will make money; the others will be heavy losers. And baseball cannot live without turnstile support.
 Two or three years ago the interest in baseball began to lesson. Golf. tennis and water sports took away many of the fans automobiles "stole away more on Saturdays and Sundays. Then came the war. And now the regulars are re- duced to a ''corporaTs guard"
 Baseball never faced a greater crisis than it has during the past few months. In times like this, when all hands seem raised against it's perpetuation, it needed cool-headed, resourceful leaders; men experienced in fighting their way out of tight places. Harmonious action was another vital need. The magnates should have realized that Perhaps they did. But despite such Knowledge they have youabbled among themselves and made matters worse. And now their business, representing an investment of around

RESTRICT CREDIT
 OF NONESSENTIALS
By HOLLAND

New York, August 14-(Special)-Th crops, tho shipbuilding activities, the amazingly great manufacture of guns and rifles and munitions of war. and the preparations for increasing our mil itary force, represent what may be called positive activities that are now under way. But there is to be estab- lished speedily. in afct it is already be- gun, what may be called negative in- nuence made necessary by the exigencies of the war. This is strong movement in the direction of restriction of credit for nonessentials. Business men all over the country are giving heed to this move ment and wondering how greatly it will affect their own enterprises. One of the difficulties that arise in establishing a restriction of credit is in reaching de- cision as to what constitutes nonessen- tial and what an essential In the finan- cial district it is reported that President Wilson, who is understood to have given much consideration to the subject, has not yet been able to make up his mind what are the factors which constitute an essential as differing from non- eSSeHlidl. II TepOrlS pt COTItCt, tHS ident is disposed to believe that it is impossible to establish any universal test. Many times what appears to be non- essential industry is, nevertheless, closely related to or associated with with an essential. Furthermore, it is believed to be the better part not so greatly to re- strict these nonessentials as to reduce the earning power of the people for if that be done, there will be inevitably . reduction of the ability to pay taxes.
 One of the leading bankers of the United States, an officer in the federal reserve system, said this morning that 1t is now clear that the ability of the United States to meet future demands occasioned by prolonging of the war will be chiefly proportionate to our ability to save and that the saving habit must be much more widely adopted by the people.
 WHAT BANKS ARE DOING
 Bankers all over the United States and especially those who are in control of the federal reserve banks of this city, are giving serious consideration now to the part the banks must take in prepar- ing for future war demands, And it Is tho understanding that borrowing from the banks in the expectation of the notes being renewed is to be greatly cur tailed.
 The government is taking the position that the public can now get along with out new parks, new public buildings. new irrigation propositions or the reclama-

$15, ,0oo,0 900 is on the verge of dissolution.
 Every effort should have been made to retain John K. Tener in office He
 may have had few faults, but, all in all, Tener has, made a splendid league
 president. He is cool. courageous, re- | sourceful-the ideal man in turbulent | times like these. Ban Johnson ever has
 been a great baseball leader-and always
 at his best in critical situations, He should have been encourages to battle | for the game as he never did before He | has been the salvation of baseball se3- l eral times. He might have repeated now, if handled decently by some of the magnates. But a few men started a flight on Johnson, prompted more by sell fish aims than basebalps good. And now Johnson, disgusted, is on the point of quitting.
 Without Johnson and Tener, what will happen:
 Major league baseball in 1919 is un- likely. And doubt if any will be played again until 1921 Even if the war does end in the fall or winter, it will be some nicnths before the troops are mus tered cut Of service. Certainly the ball player warriors wouldn't shed their khaki regalia in time to train for the April opening.
 But even if they did there may not be any parks for them to play Tn, as many club owners are now considering the proposition of leasing their parks for storage plants. It's case with them of permitting tho parks to remain idle until long after the war is over, or of getting what they car out of them. And the storage scheme, with sizable rental of- fers. appeals to them as wise move.
 If the club owners make a storage deal it means that no baseball can be played in those parks until the leases expire.
 And so when the last put out is made in 1913, it probably means that fandom won't see another big league combat for several years.

i ton of land until the close of the war. l And if that is the view of the govern
 ment respecting these projects, it will
 also be the view of the banks respecting ordinary banking transactions. The banks are beginning to realize that credit
 restrictions must go far beyond the ques- tion of public financing and in fact so
 far as to reach the financial. operations of the individual Speculative enterprises must wait until the end of the war. Bor- rowing for permanent investment can
 also wait. However. there can be no general rule adopted Each case must stand upon it's own merit and be the subject of the discretion of the bankers. l Nevertheless, the purpose to restrict credit so as to confine it to essentials is one of the most impressive of the evil dences that the United States is in a war which is of stupendous-- proportions and is likely to be of even greater pro- portions before it is ended.
 AN INEXHAUSTIBLE RESOURCE It is announced that construction work is soon to begin, if 1t has not already begun. upon the plant of an air-nitrates corporation which is to be established at Toledo and which when completed will represent an investment of $20,0 ,OOO The plant is to be built upon 500-acre tract at the mouth of the Maumee river.
 There is no reason to doubt the ability of the contractors to have the plant com pleted in eight months. When it is in operation at least 10000 men will be em- ployed in the works and in the accesso- ries
 The exigencies of the war compelled the United States to learn a lesson which Germany and Norway might have taught us some years ago. We were relying. for our nitrates upon the deposits of Chilli, although it was known that at the rate of consumption of this Chilian nitrate that field would be exhausted in a few years. Nevertheless. our men of capital and leaders of industry paid no heed to the fact that an American had defnon- strated at Niagara Falls that it was pos sible by means of electricity to secure IAitrogen from the atmosphere and to do 1t to commercial advantage. The men of science estimated that over three or four acres of land covered atmosphere reach ing far up toward the zenith which con- tained more nitrogen than is to be found in all the deposits of Chili.
 Norway took up this American discov- cry and invention and utilized electric ity equivalent to 400O Horsepower in se- curing nitrogen from the atmosphere. Germany speedily took the hint and her men of science improved upon the pro- cess. Had Germany not done this, she would have been unable to maintain the war. Her explosives are based upon nj trcsen which is obtained from the at mosphere. Now the United States is establishing great nitrogen plants, one of them in the south, and 1t is the un- derstanding that another is to be estab- lished at Niagara Falls. One of the largest of these plants is the one which is to be- within eight months. in opera
 tion at Toledo. These plants will be in operation after the war is ended and it is presumed that among the results follow
