A BIG LEAGUE MANAGER
" , (By the United Press)
.vNew York, Sept. 4. The class of
baseball this year as compared to the
game, put up in 1915 and 1914, has
ahown a vast improvement, not only
in the major leagues, but in the small
organizations. : ' : - :..:'
A prominent manager of the bg
leagues, discussing this condition, to
day declared it ds due to the demise
of the Federal 'League.
v"The disorganizing effect of the
Federal League upon ballplayers of
alt classes- was remarkable," he de
clared. "A good baseball player, un
less he was most conscientious, would
not give his best efforts a year ago'
