Baseball Made Money.
Professional baseball last year
brought in profits that amazed the
magnates. who were pessimistic az
to the probabilities Of q baseball
revival following the war.
There is so much money In the
game now, that there are plenty
OF rumors abroad as to the desire
OF certain malignant interests 20
buy into big leagues and syndicate
the clubs. which of course would
mean the finish OF the game.
There will be plenty Of dirty
meetings. Let us hope IL is
thoroughly rinsed and cleansed.
The game is too good a one TO be
killed or mangled. and there Is
danger that IT might be. for know

been guilty Of SO much stupidity

public as the baseball magnates.
