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 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.
