was aroused by and through tho war

Il rather remarkable statement Pc
markabIc for Connie Mack. anyhow.
For the first time since 1919. he
said. 'thc baseball fan is going TO Get II
square deal this season. For tho first
time in six years the fan iS going to
sec baseball players with their minds
concentrated entirely ON tho game.
1t was right from tho shoulder that
statement. without any attempt at talk

Unrest Subsidcd
In tho last hv" seasons thcr" haV"
been side attractions for the players.
In 1914 the Federal League started to
draw mon from the big leagues by Offer
ing enormous salaries. That caused Il
spirit of unrest. Of diScontcnt. of dis
satisfaction generally among the play
crS. clubowncrS aud fans. Tho players
couldn't get their minds down to the
game.
THAT had scarcely subsidized when
the war cam" on and between tn" bugIc
call and tho rlums held out by steel
and shipyHrd leagues the players didn't
know which way To turn. And they
didn't turn toward baseball with their
club.
But that spirit of unrest is gouc
now. The war is over. the Federal
League is through and the stool and
shipyard leagues arc through. There 3

Young Mans Year
"rhcn there's another angle This
is the age of development among play

The stage is set this season for the
Younger men. They have their chance
now to get into the big leagues and
stay there.

continued:
THE clubs this year may not be n

they will be. With these younger players
coming up and the veterans still in the
