U. S. CONTROL OF MAJOR LEAGUES IS ADVOCATED

Baseball Players Would Become National Entertainers Under New Plan. Agitation for rtovernment control of major leagues Issued from Chicago Monday. With reclassification of Class Four men going on all over the country. It will play havoc with the national game ; and may force magnates to close ! down before the end of the season. Government control of major league baseball may solve the complex problems. The president, under this scheme could appoint a baseball director with

power similar to that of McAdoo over

the railroads. The major DaseDau

properties would simply be taken over

by the government until tne ena oi the war. Hardly a well informed baseball man in United States believes that the major leagues will continue to operate when draft boards have requls1 ltlon on all Class Four men. Government control is about the only way ' out providing that most of the stars 1 in the majors are to be reclassified. The major league players under this

scheme would become government en-

itertalners. The big parks would be i retained for military drill, patriotic

meetings and other activities until the

closo of the war. Magnates Must Make Offer. This plan would have to come from the magnates and be in the form of an offer to the government. The mag-

: nates would have to offer the use of j their properties for government base-

i ball until the close of the war. The

i entire proceeds of games, after the

i club owners had been given a percentage of the profits, could be turned

over for athletic activities in the camps, for training and equipping the home guard and for providing mate

rial aid for our boys "over there.

The dwindling attendance at some

of the parks occasioned by a lack of

interest for purely local reasons would not be the order as now. Fans would

want to attend the games for patriotic reasons, as well as to see their favor

ite clubs perform. Capacity crowds would be the order, provided the

leagues were properly operated. Under such a plan it would be nec- , essary for the government to guaran

tee the exemption of players who , might be taken to the service under

General Crowderg work or fight order.

The plan would mean a sacrifice on the part of the magnates, but it would

be a patriotic move calculated to prolong the life of major league baseball. Isn't it better for baseball to go on as , a government enterprise, with all Its i beneficial Influence ramifying to every : military organization, than for the leagues to shut down until the close of the war? Government Gets Receipt. That millions of Americans are entertained by 320 ball players of the major leagues and that the 240 eligible eventually for military service would be only a drop in the bucket for the Army and Navy would be a potent argument for the government in accepting such an offer. Under the new scheme the war tax would be eliminati ed, for the whole proceeds would go to the government. Plans for moving pictures and other entertainments of a patriotic kind In the evenings could be arranged for the parks. AH the managers now in the game would be retained and would hold their posi

tions until the close of the war prodded they didn't voluntarily resign. Players who had volunteered for duty in the Army and Navy could be called from service fox baseball duty and their places filled with men from the clubs, chosen by tine baseball managers. This scheme, or a similar one embracing government control of the baseball parks, business and players would not injure the wealthy magnate. It would be a boost for his interests and would save the game from being wrecked.

FOR SKIN DISEASE IT IS WONDERFUL

His Granddaughter Cured by D. O. D. Too. May 6, 1917. It always gives me great pleasure to recommend D. D. D. whenever occasions arise. I know only too well of its wonderful qualities and virtues, and furthermore I feel It my duty to aid suffering humanity when they are sorely and dangerously afflicted as I was. as hundreds here can and will testify. A short time ago my little granddaughter (aged 2 years) was afflicted with a skin disease resembling eczema and after a mild treatment of seven applications she was entirely cured and the disease entirely and perfectly eradicated. This was certainly a remarkable cure in the course of only 8 days. JOHN II. CAMPBELL. 1536 E. Main St.. Richmond, Ind.
