NEW MINORS SOON
TO HELP BIG LOOPS.
Great Increase in Young
Baseball Talent Likely,
Says Trautman.

- OLUMBUs, Ohio, Jan. 1s.-
The shortage Of capable
~ young players from which the
major and higher minor
leagues have been suffering is about
over, in the opinion Of George M.
Trautman, president Of the American
Association.
Trautman points out that the cur
rent shortage is nothing unusual. In
1888, only four seasons ago, Just II
minor leagues finished the season." he
began. I'm 1884 there We're IA to ride
out the campaign, in 1885 there were
19 and in 1886 there were something
like %. But last year 81 leagues start
ed the season and every one finished.
II the National Association would
grant franchises to all applicants there
would be at least so leagues in business
at the start Of the 1898 season.
Now, 1t stands to reason that II or
10 or % leagues, many Of them in the
very lowest class1flcations, cannot sup
ply enough players to meet the major
league demands. Thirty-seven centers
Of production can carry the load, and
1t only is a matter Of one or two more
seasons until the majors will be getting
all the young talent they need.

Old Whoopla Days Gone.


COLUMBIA hasn't held an invita-
tion affair in i've years. The
Wardman Cup sits in isolated dignity
tn the clubhouse. So does the Presi-
dents Cup at Congressional. presented
to the club back in 1925 by Herbert
Hoover. Washington hasn't held an
invitation event since 1888 and Indian
Spring Is in the same boat.
The old whoopla days are over.
Maybe they went out with prohibition,
and perhaps the depression killed EN-,
but whatever the cause many Of the
clubs nowadays are not disposed to
turn over their courses for q week Of
tournament play.
They were lots Of fun. Ten years
and more ago we had steady round
Of tournaments from early May to
mid-July. usually ending with the
Maryland Country Club invitation in
July. Usually there were eight or
nine big affairs for the golfers of the
Capital. running through the spring
and well into the summer.
Those Maryland Country Club parties
were the real thing. They raised. for
two or three years, around $1,000
for each tournament, and no one ever
made better juleps than Mark-and
no one ever ran a tournament better
than Big Bill Hall. That is until Jim
Cosgrove and his crowd at Manor
came along, picked up the fallen
scepter and revived the old idea that
an invitation tournament was q chal-
aenge to q lot of fun.
