Grayson Contends Baseball
Can Survive a Lone Var

In the end, there is no excuse
for several thousand robust
men devoting their entire time
and attention to hitting and
chasing a little white pill while
the nation is up to its ears in
war. Y
1t will be embarrassing, to
say the least, for professional
ball players to travel south for
training among millions being
prepared for the main event.
Professional baseball would
be wise to 60 easy. 1t might be
best to call the whole thing off
until victory is achieved.
But a long war would not
mean the end of baseball. It
would be played behind the
lines and by service teams, war
workers and boys too young to
be in uniform. After all, base
ball has been around for more
than 100 years.
Baseball will emerge from
the war healthier than ever
provided it does a full share

NEW YORK, Dec. Branch
Hickey should insert the word
professional when he ex-
presses the opinion that if the
war lasts three more years, he
doesn't see how baseball can
survive.
What the new head of the
Brooklyns means to say is that if
the war continues for tn a t
length of time, professional
BASEBALL will have to fold up I'M
til the last shot has been fired.
Hickey sees lack of manpower
as professional baseball great
est danger.
That is as it should be. There
are vastly more important jobs
to be done than playing base
ball.
There is a report that Brook
lyn scouts may be sent in search
of competent farmers and cow
hands so Dolph Camilli may be
released from his California
ranch next spring.
Now where would Camilli do
the most good in the war eff
fort-playing first base for the
Dodgers or raising crops and
cattle?
From the way owners talk
now, in order to keep profess
sional baseball alive next season,
they are going to drag all the
players now engaged therein out
of war work.
Manpower may appear to be
professional basebalrs greatest
problem, but its taking away
players from vital posts easily
could result in public disaffec-
ton or Government disapprov-
al.

their slim lead over the field.
With the second-place Chicago

Now in fourth place, a point
behind the Toronto Maple Leafs,
the Bruins could tie the Black

Eastman Has
CHEEKY Word
for Baseball
Club Owners Get
New Hope from
His Settlement
BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN

BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN
CHICAGO, Dec. l. up -
Major league baseball execu-
tiVes, encouraged by a message
from Joseph B. Eastman, de-
Tense transportation director, to-
day formally opened their most
important meeting in history.
A statement by Eastman that
he felt other types of travel by
individuals and groups 'have
possibly a lesser justification
than baseball travel" reacted
like a tonic. Magnates were
quick to term it splendid recog-
nition."
Although the ODT director
emphasized that his letter could
not be taken as a guarantee of
the future, the mere fact that q
government official had given
first intimation that there would
be a 1913 season spiked the
meetings with cheer.
With some Of the gloom thus
dispelled, the major leagues met
in separate sessions today to
study suggestions by Eastman
for curtailing travel.
ENCOURAGEMENT
Presidents William Harridge
and Ford Frick of the Ameri-
can and National leagues, re-
spectively, ana club owners
agreed that Its good to know
the government has given an in
dication that SO far as can be
seen at this time the game will
be continued"
Eastman suggested m 6
other things that travel to spring
training be minimized, that Ions
duplicate trips during the regu-
lar season be avoided, and that
schedules provide for ample
travelling time between cities tc
avoid possible game cancella.
tons in case Of delays.
Harridge and Frick said that
next seasons schedules had been
arranged to cut travel nearly
$4,000 miles in each league
There will be more four-game
series instead of the two and
three games, three intersectional
swings rather than four, and
possible elimination of other
trips by shifting more weekday
games into Sunday doublehead.
ers.
DOUBLE UP
Schedules are so flexible"
explained Harridge, that clubs
can easily arrange to double up
in any series to provide one day
for coach travel during home
and home games and two days
for intersectional travel.
Spring training travel is en-
tirely up to the clubs, but
know they will cooperate in
every way possible"
Eastman's suggestion to con.
dition the players as close ia
home as possible was particu-
larly pertinent for the st. Louis
Browns, Pittsburgh Pirates, Chi
cago Cubs and Chicago White
Sox who have selected Cali
fornia training grounds. They
may discuss alternate plans to-
day. Hot Springs, Ark, was
mentioned as a likely spot, par.
ticularly for western teams.
