CARDINALS PRESIDENT SAYS =.
Baseball Ruined
If Farms Ended

Sam Breadon. president of the ST
Louis Cardinals bluntly warned to-
day
Eliminate the farm system and
what have you left?' Breadon ask
ed. Nothing" he answered him
self.
There would be no small minor
/ leagues. no uncoycring and develop
ment of players, and no major
league clubs, except those with un-
limited bankrolls."
ANSWERS GRIFFITH
Breadon said in an interview that
no plans for the 1914 season nor for
the postwar era can be made with
out considering a spot for the farm
system. The Redbird preXy, who
along with Branch Hickey, now
president of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
started the entire scheme, made his
statements almost in answer to a
battering attack on the farm Sys-
tenn launched yesterday by Clark
Griffith, owner of the Washington
Senators.
Breadon would continue his farm
clubs along the same lines with
but one exception - he will not
venture into the field as eXten-
Sively as when Hickey was MASTER
minding the Cards to top honors in
the baseball world
RICH GET RICHER
DO away with farms" said Brca-
con, and you are doing away with
Initiative and enterprise and put
ting a premium on dollars, instead
of brains. The rich clubs will get
richer and the poor clubs poorer
and soon there will be a dearth Of
major league material"
After the war. baseball offici.~
should encourage all systems-farm,
independent and working agree
ments, in Breadon's opinion, but he
doubts whether the good old days
of community supported teams will
ever come back.
