The war has made the world safe for baseball. There are twice as many ball play: ers as theye were before Uncle Sam got busy in the big world’s scries along the Rhine. If you want figures to be convirced harken to Tom Nokes, secretary of the National Baseball, federation: “IT think it is safe to say, from a federation standpoint, there are 50 per centjmore teams this spring than there were three years ago.’ And only a part of our soldiers have come back from France. Nearly all of them played ball in the army. The ones who hadn't donned a mitt for years went back to play when they were sent to camp. Others who never played learned. The ones who al- ways played kept on playing. They will want to keep it up. It is conservative to say, we be- lieve, there are at-Yeast 100,000 more ball players as~a result of the war. They’re pouring back from overseas. Grover Alexander and Rabbit Maran- yille came in a few days ago. They were heralded with much ado. But on the same boats came other play- ers—some who weren't players when they went in the army. The big amateur baseball body of which 'Nokes is the working head is planning for 1920. It sees the big- Best baseball, year of history. Of course, on the same line of reason- ii is the biggest baseball year of an. The sporting editor of the Stars and Stripes writes back home that fully 90,000 baseball players will return to the state with the A. E. F, Then there were sO many in the camps over here.

It will indeed be a dead community where no baseball diamond is laid and where the sandlotters are not in ac- tion. BACK IN THE GAME WITH NEW LIFE. What has the war done for base- ball? Read wnat John A. Heydler, president of the National League, wrote for the Daily Tribune. “The players now realize that what they farmerly considered a hard task ig really but play and recreation. “They are glad they came out of the war alive and well. As a canse- quence they are going into the con- tests with a new zest and spirit. “The baseball of recent years has Jacked in enthusiasm by those on the diamond, The war ras improved the game by reinstilling that enthusiasm Business | For AlrKinds of Sign Work PHONE 628-L.

E Grand Old Man of Man of Track Is Starting 48th d Year Ed F. Geers — maybe you'd know him better by the name of Pop—has changed his ‘system after, all these years, 48 of them, as king of the reinsmen. Pop's change of form prob- ably will make him unrecognizable in the harness field this year unless you read this story through and then keep it fresh in your memory during the months to come. For, be-it-known. Pop has thrown away the famous cigar and is biting the amber bit of a French briar. He changed on his_ sixty-sixth birthday, which came in January. No explanation goes gwith the change, either. Maybe itis because the revenue tax kept adding up and the price of a good™weed is about what one everyday pipe would sell for. The big. black cigars helped make both Pop Geers and Barney Oldfield !famous. Of course, they just helped.
