N view of the apparent ease with whioh a b Jub can be knocked from leadership inte nothing by @ series of accidents, and also in view of the fact that a ball club, getting a bad start, has littie or no interest in a big league race, Capt. Huston and other magnates are discussing a plan for changing the system of deotding! pennants and world’s championships | that may revolutionise modern base- ball, The plan, heartily approved by Garry Herrmann, Chairman of the| National Commission, contemplates | dividing the regular season of alx months into two pennant races of seventy games each. One season is to begin in April and end July 1, the other going from then untt! Oot. 1, In other words a pegnant race will be decided by July 1 and a fresh one start all over again, If two clubs win ionships in each of the two leagues they to play off in a eVen game series to sce which sball | the winner of tie opposition in 8 for the world's championship, This plan has been tried in. minor leagues and met with considerable success, but the fallure of big leagues to adopt it caused Its discontinuance. In the Southern League many years ago Chattanooga and Birmingham won the two pennants and then played off for the champtonship. “There is no doubt in my mind," said Capt. the plan of dividing the summer into baseball seasons would increase Juterest all around. It is vident tat the public is more in- ested in the baseball race than in the games themselves, a surmise that is proved by the fact that the minute @ ball club cinches the pennant there is little more interest in the games. ‘This is also true of a club that is hopelessly beaten from the start." ‘This new echome, as radical as it may seem, offers many advantages to the ball clubs a# well as the pub- lic, It would make it possible for a club to met together and build up for a fresh start after having been left ers Victors ight wets all through the t round.
