CHANGE IN POLICY
HIGHLY PROBABLE
Amateur Leagues Likely to
Have Only Four Clubs Each
Coming Season.

A final date having been set by Sec
rotary John r. Hooper. Jr., for the
first meeting of the Amateur Commits
sion in the new year-Ianuary 10, 10
be dehnite-much speculation is being
INDUCED in by the amateur bail toss
ers as to the complexion Of the sew
eral leagues for the new season. Ger
tain IT is that there will be many
more leagues than last year. and the
policy tends toward four Instead Of
eight-club organizations. The advan-
tage Of the lesser number Of cubs in
any given league must be obvious
where the season is necessarily short
and where but one game a week can
be played.
With just four clubs competing for
honors in a league. the teams Will
get together just 80 Is per cent
oftener than If there were six clubs
In other words. a fairer test can be
made Of the relative ability Of four
clubs within a,short period than could
be made Of six clubs in the same period.
