Plan To Send Ball
Players To War
Areas Discussed
By TOMMY DEVINE

CHICAGO, Aug. 81. = UP)-
Major league baseball's ambitious
plan to send all-star teams into bat
tie areas for the entertainment of
American troops reached positive
action-t taking stage today.
The proposal, which represents
the games top bid to fortify its
claim as a wartime morale builder
was discussed at meeting of COM
missioner Kenesaw M. Lands and
presidents William Harridge OF the
American league and Ford Frick OF
the National league.
LEADING ROLE
Lands, 76 year old Diamond Gar
who has taken leading role in de-
manding that baseball go all out in
cooperation with war agencies, has
worked quietly on the elaborate
overseas tour for the past two
months.
The commissioner is credited with
conceiving and then selling" the
war department on the worthwhile
ness of the idea. 1t is believed that
Ile TcCclNGu luli SillCUioli IL Jill oAiS
government for the trip before
calling in Harridge and F'rick.
LONE HAND
Lands has played a Lone Hand
on many of baseballs important
war time moves and that has been
his policy on this project. An in
dication of this was offered by
Harridge who said the American
league was ready to mobilize its
player talen in whatever way was
desired.
Il haven't the facts regarding the
trip, however" Harridge said, but
I expect to get them at this meet
ing"
The most controversial aspect of
the plan is the method of selecting
the players. This is Hot potato
for the games executives, club own
ers and the players, since the
choice of a performer virtually will
be for a command appearance"
1t is believed that 20 players
from each league will be chosen,
with every club having at least one
representative The managers of
the world series rivals likely will be
named to pilot the overseas aggre-
cations.

than expected.
REPORT INCREASE
The American Association was
the only one to report an outright
increase over 1912. Frank NJ Col
ley, publicity director, said the As
sociation's attendance Gas of Aug.
2O for 316 openings was 823,359
an increase of 82,745 or 11.2 per
cent over last seasons 740614 for
the same number of openings.
In the other two double "A" Or
ganizations, the Pacific coast league
seems to be holding it's own while
the International league probably
will be off only eight or nine per
cent at the close of the season.
The coast clubs, on a strict diet
of daylight ball, drew better than
last season until interest in the
pennant race begged down because
of Los Angeles strangehold on the
lead and the ENHANCEMENT of other
clubs in the first division. Harry A..
Williams, league secretary, expects
this curtailed season of 155 games
| to provide total attendance
slightly in excess of 100000" as
compared to last years 1,257,250
for a 178-game schedule.
Frank J. ShaughnesSy, president
of the International league, expects
attendance to be off only eight or
nine per cent. He said this season
would have been one of the leagues
best were it not for the ban on
pleasure driving and the prohabi-
ton of night games at Newark and
Jersey City.
"HOLDING OWN"
Billy Evans, preSioen. Ci the
Southern Association, said: "We
are holding our own with last sea-
son or other seasons" He expects
his circuit to hit the 100000 mark
with a curtailed 140-game sched-
ule, compared with 743,385 for last
years 154-game slatz. The count OF
Aug. 20 was 615,881.
The Eastern league has nothing
to brag about" in attendance, ac-
cording to president Thomas H
Richardson. He points out that his
circuit particularly is affected by
the ban against pleasure driving.
however, we are not complaining

son."
The interstate league is off about
Is per cent, compared with 1912, ac-
cording to president Arthur H.
Ehlers. It's paid attendance of
238,l76 up to Aug. 81, he says, sis
really remarkable considering our
transportation problems" He be-
lieves attendance will pick up now
and probably equal last seasons
figure when the final game is play
ed.
J. Ross Edgemon, president of the
appalachian league, estimates that
this seasons four club total will be
about 100000, compared with l42,-
600 for last season when six clubs
operated half the schedule and four
