Big League Club Owners May Decide
to Abolish Worlds Series or d.

So much trouble In baseball has been
caused by the playing Of the worlds
series that the big league club owners
may decide either 10 abolish the games
altogether or to divide the net receipts
among themselves, says a well known
baseball veteran. in Evening Sun.
The players are responsible for the
hostile attitude of some Of the mag
mates, who say that the squabbles over
worlds series shares are cOmmercializ-

commission, they dealt the game a

Last year certain players openly ex
pressed a desire TO be traded to teams
that appeared TO have chances to par

for the purpose of getting more money

Recent War Killed on Many Of Small.

Thing for Veterans.

One Of the serious results Of the war
from a baseball standpoint Is shown In
the lack of young ball players coming
up from the minor leagues. Of all the
recruits taken south by the different
major league teams but very few are
to be seen on the team now that the

sway. The scarcity Of young ball play.

er, but Il means that 1t will grow more
and more difficult to recruit the big
league teams unless there Is greatly
increased interest In minor league ball
as played In the smaller cities.
The war killed of most Of the small
er leagues, thus lessening the crop OF
young ball players to be purchased
and drafted. For two years the minors
were either not operating mt all or do
ing so on very small scale and with
inferior players. Most Of the boys who
would have been starting out on
baseball career were In the army In
those days and many Of them will new
er go back TO baseball. The supply OF
baseball talent was almost entirely cut
off for at least two years and the re-
suit Is that most Of the major league
clubs are shy Of recruits and are going
ahead with their veteran players.
The present condition among the
minors is much improved so far, es-
pecially as the larger leagues 20, but
Il Is not ut all like II was before the
war; The reason for this Is that sal
aries and wages In other positions are
so vastly increased that lad Of any
real skill or ambition can do much bet

classification. II used to he that a boy
