MINOR LEAGUES CONVENE Omaha, Neb. most important baseball meetings of a decade will be held in this city shortly. This is the occasion of the annual conference of the National Association, the governing head of the various minor leagues. All of the lesser circuits of organized base- ball have representatives on this board, which makes the yearly gatherings important. This session will have matters of unusual mo- ment to deal with. The minor leagues have been hit unusually hard since the advent of the Federal League, and have suffered more than the major leagues. Combined with the invasion of rival enterprise was business depression, the direct re- sult of the Mexican war scare, and the European imbroglo. So :erious is the situation which confronts the minor leagues, it has been sugse sted that operations in 1915 be suspend- ed, or at least postponed until the close of the European war.

The obscure minor leagues are the kindergartens of the major league stars, and to destroy the primary classes would mean no more major Jeague players. The situation is serious, and it is generally under- stood that several of the smaller or- ganizationg would favor the Federal League, if the Feds would consider accepting them. But the Federal League at the present critical stage bf its career wishes no additional | burdens. It is regarded as highly significant that practically all of the club p residents of the American and National Leagues are now in this city to attend this minor league con- JEmden had the object of the association being ! growers’ occupation, matters of leg- 10.—One of the LAKELAND, FLORIDA, TUESDAY.
