BASEBALL IS BIG
 BUSINESS SURELY
Billy Evans Discusses Game-'
 Punishment for Offenders
(By Billy Evans)

Basepall Is big business There fore 1t is no more immune from scandal than any other business en- terprise in which many men are en- gagged and much money involved.
 Big banking institutions are every now and then placed in an cmbar- rassing situation because some lead ing officer goes wrong.
 However, the defauting of n mere individual in no way affects tho confidence of the public in the bank as an institution for good.
 There are contain men engaged in baseball who have no scruples as to their conduct. Such individuals will at various times bring the game into disrepute by their personal acts.
 The only solution is their removal from the game as an object lesson.
 It has always been my contention, that regardless of the acts of the mere individual, the popularity of baseball will never wane as long as Young America continues to play it..
 However, to thousands of lovers of the national pastime. it is very distasteful to see n limited few cast suspicion on many. Only the other day l received an Interesting letter from one of the many who seek to protect baseball against the acts of q fou s1yron1 do oera
 The letter says: "My ideas to en- force honesty in professional base ball and thereby retain the conf- dcnce of the public in the game are as follows:
 T. A federal law forbidding one man. or set of men, owning more than one club in each league, with Jail penalty for violation.
 70. Providing for a license for each club and each player, including the manager and coach. and with drawal of the license for good of the game or any other reason. Jail penalty for violation.

 That doesn't make bit of diff ference" snapped Buster. .'Im hungry enough to eat my own brother if I had one."
 All the time Buster was scrambling after Bobby Coon mad Bobby was run ni--s for his life. Now. big as he is, Buster can move very fast when he is in hurry, especially when he is thin and lean. Bobby Coon squealed with fright and scrambled up a big tree faster than he ever had scrambled up a tree before in all his life. Buster growled a deep, grumbly, rumbly growl and started up after him.
 Oh! Oh!" cried Bobby Coon, and you may be sure he was very much awake by this time. There was no thought of sleep in Bobby's head now. as he scrambled nearly to the top of that big tree. Peter Rabbit stared in horror. Surely Buster Bear would catch Bobby now.
