NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD PRESIDENT BAN JOHNSON SEES OASEBALL DISASTER American League Leader Would Abolish Southern Training Trips and Close , S or « Minor Leagues—lnterest lacking in Small Towns Chicago, (March 23.— 'Baseball is in for an overhauling such ae it has never before experienced if the suggestions of B. B. Johnson, president of the American League, are cajried out. Ac cording to the head of the junior cir cuit. there is need of reform along both artistic and financial lines. Included in ! The scheme for a "new deal" are the closing of the gates for the coming sea,- I son ot' some fifty ball |*arks and the ' abolition of spring training trips. The padlocks would be distributed among five or six minor leagues, while the American and Rational Leagues would ibe principally affected 'by tihe new sys tem of training. Tiie apparent lack of interest in'base baM in smaller towns is tike reason for the first suggestion, and needless ex pense, coupled with chilly reception, both at the gate and by the weather man at the Southern training camps, is resj eligible for the second. The policy of closing the g>ates of scores of minor league clubs has been brought home with added pressure the lasi few days through appeals to the National Commission from hall players for hack salaries. It seems that the majority of minor leagues failed to make both ends meet last year, and the players are at present in possession of 1. O. U.'s, ou which they have been unable to collect. Not beiug able to get any satisfaction from their employers, the players have Hooded the commission with requests for money. The supreme court of 'baseball has becu unable to offer much encourage- j mcnt, and it was pointed out toniay j through Mr. Johnson that the worsr is' yet to come. Hundreds of ( layers are ' likely to be out of jobs the coming soar-on with no relief in sight, regard-1 less of whether certaiu clu'bs close their ' gates or not. President Johnson pointed out that j the National League will have to get | rid ol' probably 150 players, while the American League will discard almost as many. The larger minor leagues will I cut their rosters to 16, 17 and IS play-; ers for each dirt), anil these moves will i throw more men out of jobs. "We have come to the parting of the i ways," said Mr. Johnson. "And either j ■have to furl out sails and run before the ' wind or take the chances of being j wrecked on the financial shoals. I aiu' not referring to the American or Na- j tional leagues when I say this, except that retrenchments along certain lines I may be necessary. What I refer to is: connected with the minors. Most of the' leagues throughout the country are in a bad wav. "There is no question but that it j would be a good thing for the game were the gates of iive or six minor league clubs closed during the coming season. In l'avi. I cannot see how the smaller cluO owuers can afford to keep their parks open. 'Few made any money last year and it does not look as if fhey are going to this. "The .National Commission has Deen bombarded of late with requests for back salaries. These have all couie from minor league players who were unable to coUect from different clirbs last fall. The commission naturally tries to sat i;i'y the players tq the best of its abil ity, but :f the club owing the money is bankrupt our hands are tied. '•1 am going to suggest to the club owners in the American and National Leagues that hereafter all players t»e compelled to report in condition to play one or two weeks before t'he season o; ens." said Johnson. "These training trips are getting to : be a .ioke. Thev are of 110 benefit and cost the clubs $3,000 to $4,000 everv | year.''

SERVIAN WOMAN TO SEEK AID FOR COUNTRY HERE Will Speak in City Next Week In Hall Offered for Her Use by Bishop Darlington—rever Prevalent in Her Land Mme. Slavko Grouitch, wife of the • Permanent Under Secretary of Foreign ; Affairs of Servia, is to speak in be < half of the Servian Agricultural Relief Committee, in this city some time •next j week. The exact date has not as yet been definitely decidied upon. Mme. Grouitch is in receipt of a let ter from Bishop James Henry Darl ington, inviting her to use the hall in the Bishopric for her address. His in vitation will no doubt be accepted. Mme. Slavko Grouitch, a war nurse j and Red Cross worker in the Balkan | battlefields, who is in the United Instates to secure relief for her impov j erished people, is organizing a corps of volunteer American college men, wlu will go to the little mountainous »a --j tion in June to form mobile working j units. Plague Taking Lives "Help us to stamp out the typhus plague, or your efforts to procure grain, seeds and agricultural implements for us will not be necessary. There will be few of us left." This is the frantic appeal that is being sent to the United States from war-ridden and fever-infested Servia. The country where a few vents ago "there were no beggars and no rich men'' has been involved in a war three times in three years. Only the women and children remain to plant the crops. They are huddled in concentra tion camps, and there are no crops to plant and few homes left to give them shelter. And now the dread typhus fever has made its appearance. These conditions, outlincdi by Mme. Slavko Grouitch, are beiug made the basis of an appeal for aid for the stricken country. Under the auspices of the Servian Agricultural Belief Committee, of America, with headquar ters at 70 Fifth avenue, New York City, Mme. Grouitch is making a tour of the principal cities in the United States in the interest of the local or ganizations being formed to take up the work. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, Presi dent Emeritus of Harvard, is presi dent, Breck Trowbridge, of New York, is chairman, and Dr. T. Tileston Wells, of New York, is chairman of tho Executive Committee, of the general relief committee. The committee asks that subscrip tions of money be sent to J. P. Morgan and Company, New York City, who are acting as bankers of the committee, and that grain, seeds and agricultural im plements be sent to Bush Terminal, New York. The first shipment of hospital sup plies, consisting of more than 300 cases of material for hospital and sani nurses, is already on its way from New tarv work, and a unit of Red Cross ork to Servia. This will bo a mere drop in the bucket, however. Mme. Grouitch is to visit Harris burg next week to speak before promi nent citizens in the cause of Servia.
