War is always brewing in baseball. particularly in the long, dull winters. but there is small likelihood that any thing out of the ordinary will happen in this line at the meetings this week. The ma gnates have other things on their minds-the troublesome draft, the threat of a players union and some me9 Sures circulated to prevent pennant contenders from acquiring star players in the heat of a cham pionship race.

Petty squabbIcS among the magnates and small politics are no port of baseball. They weak en the game more than they strengthen it. It is not hard to interpret the nopuIar attitude to- ward Judge Iandis. He is re- gilricd as responsible for the efficient and@shoncst conduct of the game. When things are done wrongly. in the fans Opin- ion, they will hold the former jurist responsible. as was shown in the ''riot scene' during the worlds series. The fans Pecog- niZe him as the biggest man in the game, and it is time that Johnson, who assumes none of the direct personal responsibili- ties, recognize that fact also.
