MINOR LEAGUES AGAIN
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

NEW YORK, June 3-The minor
baseball league, at its height a short
time before the entry OF the United
States into the World War and so
nearly threatened with extermina-
ton during that period, is regain-
ing its former strength. Baseball
men have watched with interest and
optimism the gain of the many
small leagues since the close of the
war. They declare it is a matter
Of only one OF two years before the
small cities, which in years past
have supported Glass c and Glass d
organizations, again will back the
numerous leagues which formerly
supplied the majors with playing
talent. The frequency with which
college and semi-professional stars
of the past two or three years have
entered major league baseball sue
cessfully, is declared to be largely
due to the paucity, during war tfmes
Of the small leagues. TX
The high water mark of the minor.
league was in 1914. That year in
addition to the two major leagues
and three Class AA loops, the Amer
lean Association, International
League and the Pacific Coast
League, there were two class A or.
carnations; eight in Glass B; seven,
in Glass C and 81 in Glass D. The
two class A organizations, the
Southern Association and Western
League, withstood the war shock
although at financial losses to dfrec.
tors. They were Joined in the claSSs-
ifcation last year by the EastefV
League and this season by thN
Texas League.
The decrease in the smaller
leagues from 1914 until 1918, when
the minimum was reached, however,
was marked. In 1915 the Class B
group, which the previous year had
comprised the Central, Eastern AS
ISOLATION, Three-I, New Eng-A
New York State, Northsyes
Texas and Tri-State leagues, Z
ped the Eastern Association anG
Tri-State league, the latter
posed of a group of Pennsylvt M
New Jersey and Delaware cities Y
By 1918, only three leagues
this class had survived, the Eas
ern, Pacific Coast International a,
Texas leagues. It was largely t
vigor shown by the Texas and Eas
ern groups during this period tn
earned for them their present clas
ifcation in Glass A. IL
BY 1920 the membership OF tai
Class B leagues again numbered si,!
including the Three-I, Michigan-On+
tario, Pacific International, Texas,
virginia and Western Canada
leagues.

on Sunday afternoon, Manager
Springs team being booked to play
the Casey Stars at Corrigan field,

a majority of the strongest semi-pro
teams in New York and New Jersey.
According to advance information
issued by the knights of Columbus
manager, Mickey Milchick or John
