American and National leagues go
faitn their baseball campaign with i
the American league facing a bit
ter fight to regain its lost pres
tiee. built up in the early days
ef i?a existence and; beaten down
gradually by various causes.
"Drastic measures must, and
will, be taken by the American
league to regain that prestige."
Such are the statements of a
man high in baseball circles.
"While the American league,"
he eaid, "has fought internal
strife, suffered the long standing
jw between Ban Johnson and
tuommissioner K. M Landis. and
"t6en watched its playing seasons,
marred by runaway races, the Na
tional league haa been overtaking
its younger rival through the me
dium of hectic baseball races, the
evelopment of stars, and a unl
fied front in handling its own
problems," he continues.
"The overwhelming superiority

"For the first time in years. If
aot in its history, the circuit fall

reason for thla. It was no secret
that three clubs in the league suf
