vantage Of this unexpected golden
rain.
Player Shortage Was Acute.
The shortage of players was acute,
as it promises to be this year, be-
cause youngsters who for the most
part make up minor league clubs
were ripe for Army duty, and that's
where they went.
Using some homegrown logic, it
would seem that If the minor leagues
can survive this year we still are not
up to our all-out effort of 1918, when
they couldn't survive because of cir
cumstances which are duplicated TO-
day. If they didn't have time for
the game then, it would seem logical
that they wouldn't have time now.
This is no effort to knock baseball,
but is merely recitation Of little
history to show what happens to
our national pastime when we really
get down to the business Of winning
a war. Maybe the clubs can play
night ball after all, and the eight
hour day will give workers chance
TO go to games.
But the record of 1918 is nons too
encouraging for the minors.
