Connie Mack Sees No Good Cause For Alarm. While baseball mignates contem- plate their - dwindling coffers and, with September Ist in mind, look with apprehension toward the fut- ure, Connie Mack sees ne cause for alarm. . oT Mack's conclusions may be sum- med yp as follo First--Unless the war continues two years, baseball will feel no per- manent "Wel fects. Second---There will be no break the relations between the Am- erican dnd National Leagues. i Third--The seéming unpleasant- | ness developed at 'Cleveland will be | forgotten and Ban Johnson's preés- | tige will remain unimpaired. Fourth--No rédorganization of the National Commission with a view to the elimination of Garry Herrmann is contemplated. Fifth--American soldiers and sailors will not permit baseball to] die out. | Discussing baseball, Mack said: "Whether baseball will suffer permanently as a result of the war depends upon the war's duration "Unless it lasts several years, baseball will retain its popularity. Of course, the gates will be eclased next year. It would be foolish to attempt to keep the game going with men: putside the draft limits. "When the war is over, the great- est reaction in the history of the game will result. The sport cannot be forgotten 'when it is being play- | ed in every post, camp and canton- ment in the United States and overn- seas."
