In every war there is that vastly important

fighters constitute the strength of the nation Ger
many learned that in 1918 when a series OF strikes
broke down the support and morale Of the still
aggressive armies of the Kaiser. No matter how
great its military power in the field, no nation at
is stronger than the morale of its people at

tremendous implication 1t is not as simple as it
sounds. True, Mr. Roosevelt has said: Go right

of responsibilities for baseball. 1t is not enough
that the game adopt schedules and lay them out so
that a people at war may have some amusement

outline such plan in New York this month.
There are Defense Bond campaigns. There is
the Red Cross. There other efforts which
will have to be supported in an active concrete way.
1t will not be enough for baseball concentrate on
its Ball and Bat Fund. 1t will have to make
aggressive movements in many directions and at

STAY IN THERE AND PITCH

Baseball has a legitimate place in maintaining
public morale during the war emergency and base
ball will be the big sport during the coming sum-
mer ON sandlots, in small towns and in the large
cities throughout the Nation. President Roosevelt
practically says to stay in there and pitch" and
let the sport continue the Nations great game.
The go ahead signal has been given by President
Roosevelt to Baseball Commissioner Keneshaw M
Lands The spark has been kinded and the flame
is going TO spread as the following article. in The
Sporting News basebas official newspaper clearly
indicates:
Well in advance of the 1912 pennant season,
baseball could designate Franklin Deano Roosevelt,
President of the United States it's Player of the
Year. Without waiting for the national execu-
tive to throw cut the first ball in Washington in
April both major leagues would make no mistake in
naming Mr. Roosevelt their most valuable man in
all branches of their specialized endeavor. For in
writing to Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Lands
that the White House wanted baseball to go right
on through the war, in giving to National Game
that priceless executive sanction and presidential
approval. FDR already has done for the
game than any of its most brilliant opponents pos
sbly could hope to contribute through the 1912
son-and the 1913 campaign to boot.
To Judge Lands too goes the accolade of the
fans, for the Commissioner took the initiative and
drew from Mr.. Roosevelt expression which the
President doubtless wanted to have drawn from him
In simple little note scrubbed in pencil-and in
the Judges we-nigh ilegible handwriting, too
lands stated the situation tersey and to the point.
In effect, Judge Lands wrote that Baseball is
about to adopt schedules, sign players, make vast
commitments, go to training camps What do you
want it to do? If you believe we ought to close
down for the duration of the war, ready to
do Immediately. If you feel we ought to con-
tnue we would be delighted to do We await
your order"
The Presidents answer came at once. He said
in part:
II honestly feel that it would be best for the
country to keep baseball going. There will be fewer
people unemployed and everybody will work longer
hours and harder than before And that means
that they ought to have chance for recreation and
for taking their minds off their work even more
than before"
In effect the President told baseball to keep
