PURIFYING BASEBALL

Ii has been the habit of the Ameri-
can public to regard big league base
ball as beyond the pale of crooked
ness. Few suspected that 1T would
be possible to tarnish the reputation
OF the sport.
There have been some cynical fel-
lows who from time to time oplned
that it may be as much of gamblers
paradise as horse racing or the mar
-kets, still the possibilities for crook
ed vork-especially in big series
were always at hand, and that 1t
would be merely a matter of time
before a crooked deal would be
pulled OFF.
II appears they were right. The
house-cleaning process has started.
Players have confessed to taking part
m gambling deals in which the pub
lie was hoodwinked and the gamblers
enriched.
1t is to the credit of the so-called
<-magnates" of the game, however,
that with the first breath of suspicion
they were prepared to assist in Kidding
the game of men under cloud, and
in sporting circles there never has
been finer example of the 'sporkins
spirit than that shown by Comisky,
of the Chicago club, who deliberately
threw away his clubs chances of
winning the pennant by promptly dis
charging several of his most valuable
men when they confessed to double
dealing.
That is one thing that will keep
baseball from degenerating to the
level of professional horse racing,
where the magnates do not assist in
uncovering crooked work.

One extremely important consider
alton is this: The widespread price
cutting now goinng On will diminish
at least one or two billions Oh uol-
lars the volume OF money and credit
necessary to swing the country's Dusl-
ness. This should bring relief to the
money market And every one in in
innate touch with the inner hnanclal
circles knows that reasonably cheap
money would be the signal Tor em-
barking upon a great many enter
prises now held in allegiance because
of the acute scarcity anu dearness OF
capital. The spirit or enterprise Is
extremely vigorous among progress

given full play as soon as monetary

Again, the iniquitously heavy taxes
on prof 5 are acting as a hed'y nahu-
leap u.ol enterprises, just as they
are also responsible in no MINOR d.
gree for unConsciOnaEly Aigh prices.
Since both presidential candidates
have pledged themselves to effect
economy and correct existing tax
evils, there is q prospect that this
burden will be lightened, thus both
facilitating the lowering OF prices
without Staying profits and encourag-
ing the launching of new projects.
The increased industry and eff
cheney of labor is another factor rich
in encouragement, since it will lower
the cost Of production and, as a
corollary, the cost of living, thereby
modifying much of the bitterness
which has been so prevalent among
the rank and file Of the people dur
ing the last two or three years.
All this will tend to bring about a
revival of sound, active business next
