The league has not yet announced whether or rot it inténds to open up its baseball parks the comin season, though the impression has been| spread abroad that 1919 would not see it in operatiou. There was con- siderable excuse fo: such a feeling not so long ago but the fact is. there is less doubt about the 1919 situa- tion today than there has been since last summer, ‘and though it is = still doubtfuly perhaps much of ‘the re- maining doubt will be dissipated within * the next few weeks.

He must retrench, and if the Yankees can see their way clear to pay $60,000 or $70,000 for Ty it's a sure thing Navin will part with his star. MAGNATES HISCUSS SPLIT OF WORLD SERIES MONEY One interesting topic of discussion at the-joint meeting of the National| and American leagues next month, will | be the world’s series of 1919, It is a long cry to the next world's series, of course, but the. readjust- ments following the world war are running so smoothly the magnates have every reason to hope that base- ball is in line for a tremendous boom. The majority of major league elub owners are satisfied thal the pian under which the world's series of 1918 ¢ was conducted was ona gigantic fail- ure. Indeed, it almost resu!ted in the ruination of the same for years to come. The delay in the last game of the classic occasioned by the| threatened strike of the Red Sox and In any city but Boston it probably would have occasioned riot and disgrace that might have taken years to live down. Pool Becomes Too Big. Because it was believed the players’ poot had reached an amount which threatened the sporting incentive of the annual classic—i. e, held out temptations for rival players to pair and pool mutual interests—the com- mission last spring changed its rules for the distribution of the pot. It| voted fixed sums for each participant —4§2,000 for each member of the win- ning team and $1,40¢ for each loser. The other three first division clubs of | each league were to share on a sliding | scale basis according to final team standings. : Shortly before the 1918 world's series | in two the customary prices of ad- mission to the big show.

All the world, including America, was amazed at the efficiency in action of the suddenly orsanized United States army. 2 v The impression was prevalent when war was declared that America was unprepared for the titanic struggle. This may be true, and possibly is along certain lines, but both the-enemy Americans have always been shooters. In this all-important line we were prepared. This was demonstrated at the battle of Seicheprey, when the Yanks routed the Huns with the greatest of America's contributions to the yar—the trench shotgun. It has not been generally known, even in America, that this is the only country in the world having more than 4000 shooting schools, where citizens of all ages and both 'sexes may learn to shoot, free of any cost. 4,000 Shooting Schools. These shooting schools are the gun clubs scattered over the entire coun- try. You will find them everywhere. No hamlet is too small to have & gun club, no city too large. These clubs helped America answe$ the unprepar- edness charge. The answer leaves no doubt in the minds of our allies and the Huns as to #merican prowess with firearms. SR Thoughts of our unpreparedness in a shooting way are attributed to the fact that we are not devoting our en- ergies to the long-range rile—the ac- cepted weapon of warfare. But Amer- icans -were preparing, just the same, They prepared along new shooting at clay targets at the gun club with a shotgun. At the proper signal Americans, clear of eye and steady of aim, went to the front fully prepared to hold up ‘their end and ease the burden of their allies. No man was sent to the firing line unless he was a qualified marksman. It is impossible to learn to shoot in a day. It takes considerable time and was evident from the tihe the Yanks were ushered through the mud “landers and France Government and now recognize (he clubs, realize that with the facili wte executives v e of the gun there club.

Soon after the Christmas holidays a boom in college track should be looked for. The Rochester Inteznational league club has asked the Giants to give it $10,000 for Catcher Earl Smith. The latter is said to be a great player, but $10,000 strikes the Giants as a trifle high. Columbia feels it is strong enough now to break in the big field of foot- ball. It would consider contests with Cornell and Pennsylvania. Gridiron interest would probably be greatly helped by a big team in New York city. Expenses are to be cut to a mini- mum by college athletic teams. Any- thing not considered very necessary will be wiped off the slate, for treas- uries are low and rigid economy must be practiced until ’varsity teams have| fattened up the box-offices.
