Will Harridge
|sConfident
Of Good Season
Diamond Leader
Presents Sport
as Morale Builder
BY WILLIAM HARRIDGE
president Of American Baseball
League


CHICAGO, Jan. 4 - up -
Baseball's biggest problem, as
the game approaches the 1914
season is one of manpower-and
| am confident the sport will
meet this problem as success
ful!y-as II has met many others
which developed in baseball's
first two wartime seasons.
About 25 years ago, the game
was preparing for another war
time SeaSon-that of 1918 during
World War l. A check OF the
rosters al that time discloses that
the eight American League clubs
then had $50 players under con-
tract-l0 fewer than the League
now has on its reserve lists for
tn 1914 season.
MORE TO GO
We know that scores of play
erS, many of them stars, will
Join the armed forces between
now and opening day next April,
But our League owners are con-
fident that despite these antici-
pated departures, their clubs will
be able TO field teams and again
do a good job of providing en-
tertainment and relaxation.
The American League now
has approximately 100 Of its
players in the armed forces
and they are part Of legion
which is baseball's biggest boost
er. During the 1912 and 1913
seasons, baseball went TO our
fighting men all over the world
via radio and the American
League motion pictures.
Only recently the newest
American League movie-"The
World Series of 1913 has gone
TO our boys IN every theater Of
war.
IN the near future, millions Of
boys will see the perturbation
of the 1913 fall classic between
the New York Yankees and st.
Louis Cardinals. From the de-
mand for this new movie we
know the soldiers, sailors and
marines want baseball TO go on.
SERVICE FANS
Some 500, 900 of those serv-
icemen watched our teams In
1913 as guests of our eight Am
erican League clubs. The past
season say almost 1000, 900 other
fans attend American League
gameS-a total only slightly UNI
der banner 1912 season attend
ance. The 1913 attendance was
backed up by a World Series tic
ket demand which was the
greatest in years and which saw
the largest series crowd for a
single game-69 900.
That World Series raised more
than S300, 900 for war charities,
TO which can be added other
thousands Of dollars raised dur
ing regular season war relief
program which will be repeated
in some manner-next sum-
mer.
Attendance in 1913 was all the
more remarkable when il is re-
membered that the American
League was not favored with a
close pennant race and, during
the early part of the season, in
Cured the worst stretch of in
clement weather in the League s
history. The fans know the CALI
bre Of baseball is down--it
could not be otherwise with so
many great American League
