Golf and gasoline" says Gear, ARE,
OF course, keeping the people away from
the games. Base ball is no longer the
popular priced amusement and, of
course, those who can afford cars and
golf are the ones who could afford to
attend bali games. whether base ball is
popular-priced or not.
Situation Is Serious.
"Ths situation is serious. I think
one of the necessities to the future of
base ball is this: That neither the
majors nor the Double AS should sign
ball players who have never had pro-
fessional experience. Leave the young
fellows to the small minors entirely.
The overhead then will be practically
cut in two and base ball will be in a
much healthier condition financially, all
along the line"
Gears suggestion is that the Ameri-
can, the National, the international.
the American Association and the
Pacific Coast circuits leave to all minor
leagues below Double A classification
the players from the colleges and the
sandlots.
This year the ma jors and Double A
clubs, as usual, got the pick OF the col
leRe ranks, because they could anord
to nav bonuses for the signing OF these
Young players. They also scout the
amateur and the semi-pro ranks thor
oughly. and, as a rule, have their choice
OF all likely sandlotters.
Bonuses Hurt Minors
The collegians and sandlotters not
wanted by the majors and Double AS
then sign up with some of the small
minor leagues But the advantage Is
always with the bigger fellows for they
have the money to pay bonuses.
II the small minors are given the
privilege of taking all young players
first. then they will have chance to
use them. to develop them and to sell
them to the bigger fellows. and THEREBY
make I'D the present difference between
the red ink and the black ink columns.
