The Brighter Side

T GUESS the most optimistic
Il fellows in the country today
are the big league baseball mag
mates.
They are going ahead with
spring training OF their players
AS il they were going 10 play
the season OF 1913 all the way
through. though the price
against that proposition is about
9 10 8.
/ give the magnates due credit
for their gameness in even at
tempting a start. but l think II
they had tried 10 do any con-
siderable travelling lately they
would realize the difficulty OF
the transportation pro b e m,
which is increasing every day
and which, L fear, will put the
crusher on the big league sched-
ules as now arranged.
THEY may get part way, but
Il it is my conjecture that they
will then either have TO close
down altogether or wind up
playing sectional schedules.
That is 10 say. the eastern
teams will be restricted TO play
ing each other with the same
situation prevailing in the West.
II is just not in the cards that
the teams can travel back and
forth as in normal times.
1t is my opinion baseball Is as
essential as any other public
amusement, yet it is in an un-
fortunate position in that il re-
quires the movement of its play
ers in fairly large squads in
military times when all trans
portation facilities are taxed TO
the limit.
Certain priorities might solve
