A large number of players appreciated tho impracticability of the scheme and declined to have anything to do with It, with the result that the stuff went wrong from the start. Real Object of Scheme Disclosed by Announcement IJTTLE criticism can be directed at Ban Johnson for announcing that the Amerl J can League will open Its schedule ns arranged, cen In the event of war. It la the fact that tho announcement discloses the real object of the much-advertised Military training propaganda In the southern camps that creates a target for honest ariticUm. It Is the inconsistency of the whole procedure that is amazing. Why train tho men for military duty and then keep them busy by opening a schedule tlAt will be completed if there is any1 way possible of completing it? As a matter f fact, the whole scheme was poorly conceived, and it is hard to understand how anybody could think for a minute that It had" any real virtue as a means of pre paring men for the serious business of war. It was a thimbleful of military training with a b'arrelful of advertising. At this time an announcement that league schedules would be suspended would be somewhat immature, even hysterical. Thinking men realize that this te a time for calmness a time for all men to go quietly about their business, Whether it be baseball or running a corner grocery store, and to await tho call. If this country Is hurried Into war men must be drawn from the business of the Satlon promptly but carefully, with the realization that things "back home" must be conducted even more efficiently than in times of peace. Baseball Is an amuse ment the greatest outdoor amusement that we have and amusement Is the safety valve of a people. It Is the business of baseball players and executives to furnish this amusement, this relaxation, that mankind needs more In times of great excite ment and'stress than under normal conditions. The t,ime has pot yet come for all baseball to bo called off; but tho time never was. Is not and never will bo for making the serious business of preparing for war a medium for advertising. A RECENT report from the South relates the "amusing burlesque" on military training put on by members of the Braves prior to a game with the Athletics. Need more be said in condemnation ot tho whole scheme of training men to be .ball players and soldiers at one and the same time? Inter league Serbs Will Be Watched Closely WHEN the clubs of the International League and the American Association meet In an lnterleague series following their regular season next fall the out eome of the experiment will attract the close attention of the men who are In Charge of the major leagues. Two of the greatest of the minor organizations have decided to make a radical change in intcrleaguc competition. Their plan is to havo the various teams of one league meet thoso of the other In a big round robin series for a purse to be divided between the eight clubs of the winning league. This plan should please the players as well as the public. The lntersectlonal nature of the series, added to the fact that thero will be something doing at half of the parks, Will attract the spectators, while the split of the purse is bound to make a hit rvith the players. The men are to receive their regular salaries throughout the inter league series and the $10,000 distribution to the winners will serve as a bonus. Another advantage of the Innovation is the fact that it is the only real test e supremacy between two organizations. The usual series between tho pennant Winners of the major leagues does not indicate that tho winning team represents the superior league. Should the plan work out successfully this fall with the big minors It Is very likely that the majors will seriously consider Its adoption. Tho World's series during the last few years have not been a howling nuccess west of Pittsburgh. The big post-season event Is confined to two ball parks out of sixteen and the prize money Is divided among the players of the two contending clubs. Herein lies the weakness of .the event. A substitute that would hold the attention f fans throughout the circuit and please the players from a financial viewpoint would be welcomed", and for this reason the coming experiment will receive more than local attention. THE added Interest which wlllsprlng up among the players Is confidently expected to make the pennant races In the two leagues much hotter than It has been for several years. ' Battle Royal a Qreat Institution SOME folks can sit through the rendition of a sonata, or whatever It Is, at tho hands of a great violinist without the quiver of an eyelash or a single respon sive heart throb, yet when the brass band of tho village goes on a rampage these rajne. persons respond will; hat-throwing and tho wildest exultation. The magic lantern has Its appeal to few, no matter how lovely the pictures, yet roll off a 'teovles" batch of squash pie 'comedy and tho same stolid onlookers rock In a frenzy of response. Lots of action Js the explanation by many to the response an evangelist on a tear gets from his hearers In contrast to a pulpit preacher. Roaring cannons and the blowing of the -bugles make the stony eye of the multi tude to sparkle and the bosom to heave. The slam-bang stuff Is the thing. Fans can sit through a pretty boxing match, much of squaring off, here a pretty pass, htre a elever block; but come a flurry of blows, come some solid slugging by both parties, como a tumult of conflict, ami the pop-eyed gallery rises In its delight, , a howl on Its lip, Joy In Its soul Promoters of boxing are gladdened when the ft' rafters ring with eager applause, for that ; to'get In.

There Is haidly a profession In the unl erso which has to think as quickly as tho ball plaer. In place of being a bonehcad the avctage player has something more than aerage Intelligence, as aerage Intelligence Is known. He mubt not only have n mind ami a brain, but he Is taught and trained to use this brain nt a second's notice. He hasn't an hour to make up his mind what to. do, nor a half hour, nor yet a half- minute. Frequently he hasn't even a second. Ho must think In a flash to turn the proper trick, and If he doesn't think In a flash somo one else will beat him to it. Ill Military Training Keigeant (jIIisoii, who has charge of the "cw Yoik Yankees in their drill, was greatly surprised at the quickness shown by players in obeying commands or picking up Instructions. He found them to be far ahead of the average recruit lot drawn from other i calms of civilian existence. They took hold In much better shape and in much quicker time. The seigcant also discovered after Issuing an order that the plaer was Inclined to fol low In a flash. In fact, they obeed with a greater promptness than he desired, a promptness amounting to hurry. "Xot quite so fast," he was forced to say frequently at the start. "Take a littlo more time." The player, trained to act upon the In stantto think quickly and to start quickly was Inclined to carry this habit Into the .It 111. One player may thlnlc more quickly than another. But a ball player Is much more apt to think and act with far greater speed than most other citizens for the simple rea son that he Is engaged In a business that demands not only speed of though, but speed of every other available sort. Sport the Mind Trainer Sport is not only a great trainer for the body. It Is also a fine trainer for the mind. To be a siucess In sport one must employ his brains at frequent Intervals. Whether It be baseball, football, tennis, golf, or what you will, the brain must be used to produce results. And In most of these games there Is not time to think things out in any careful, se date way. Action Is Immediate, so the work of the brain must be immediate. There Is no great hurry of thought in golf, of course, which Is more of a contemplative, philosophical sport than It is one of action.

WINS MEADOWBROOK TROPHY Long Island Four Easily Defeat Del ' ' Monte for Polo Title SAN DIEGO, Cal, March 24, The Metdowbrook Country Club -polo '(tarn, of t ;Tr f ,W irt ' old policy of guessing incorrectly and lag ging behind. The American League has made and will make a tremendous hit with Its preparedness policy. Involving military training, and will thereby work Its way still further Into the fancy of the sport-loving populace. We have no entanglements with nor any particular leaning to either league. But as a citizen standing to one side and watching the double parade pass one can't keep from wondering how the older circuit could have kept away from a proposition of such im mediate Impoitance and appeal. By adopting this policy of nloofness the National has merely permitted Its young rival to pick up and play a winning card. When the chief of staff of a big division, embracing many States, announces that the action of the American League has been of Incalculable benefit In the way of example, there must be something more to the move ment than mere froth. In noting the actions of the two leagues upon this matter of military preparation one might find an easier answer asito Why It Is that the American League has won every world series, barring one, since 1309 a matter of eight years back. A supremacy ot this magnitude can hardly be put down as a matter of luck. Speaker's Style Of all present-day batsmen, ball players are Inclined to award the finest batting style to Tris Speaker. "I have never seen any one hit the ball a3 Speaker did last season," remarked one of the Yankee veterans. "Lvery hit that he got was a clean, hard wallop. And even when he failed to make a hit he walloped the ball, and generally drove It with a smash either tu an in flelder or an outfielder. But whether he made his hit or not, he was r'jtlng the ball, and hitting It on the nose. It was a wonderful thing to lead Ty Cobb for six consecutive months at bat, but an oven more wonderful thing to keep on hitting the ball, as Speaker did. from April to October, without a slump. Whether he can maintain this pace another year Is another matter. But you can gamble if he does he will not only lead the field again, but will be up above .400 for the season." Admitting Speaker's greatness at bat, ball players are not willing to pick him as a 1917 victor over Cobb. They figure on not only Cobb's great speed, but his ag gressiveness and determination, and they know with what a rush he is going back to gain his old place at the top. Under present circumstances the best dope seems to be. as the players themselves see It that the Speaker-Cobb grapple will be a very close affair possibly closer than last season's great duel, where .Speaker led by fifteen points, a matter i : ly four or five extra hits In 150 games.
