In the World of Sport
TWO new RULES
TO Be ADOPTED
ONE WILL REFER TO THE SALARY
LIMIT IN THE BIG LEAGUES AND
THE OTHER WILL BE A SEVEN
MONTHS CLAUSE FOR THE
PLAYERS.

Before another year is at hand, ac-
cording to the dope fend of louis
Vile, KY, two new rules will be adopt
ed by the major leagues, unless present
talk is idle gossip. One will be a
salary limit, minimum and maximum,
and the other a seven months clause
in players contracts.
At present players are paid from
the opening to the close of the sea-
son. Their salaries do not include the
work done in the training camps.
Under the new rule the players salary
will cover the work he does from the
time the team reports for practice in
the spring until the season ends. This
will include the months of March,,
April, May, June, July, August and
September. The season does not end in
September, but does not extend much
over that, and since the majority of
clubs do not gather in the south until
the second week in March, the time
will be squared up that way.

the spring report in poor shape and
lose practically a month playing
themselves into condition, so that the
club that employs a holdout player is
the loser.
There are few instances where a
player holding out Is getting daily
practice and working himself into
condition, Ty Cobb has been playing
all spring and when he reported the
Georgian was in shape. But Cobb is
the exception.

does not sustain a financial loss by
absenting himself from the team until
