New York, Dec. As an aftermath of the recent worlds series a number of suggestions have been advanced for revising the present system in vogue in the meeting of the pennant win ners of the two major leagues each year. Various objections have been raised by both magnates and players regarding the round robin series as proposed by Garry Hermann and oth- CT suggestions along similar lines The latest proposal, which comes from a New England baseball autho ority, calls for real inter-league series with all- American teams from the National and American leagues playing for the worlds title.
 It is proposed that a committee, se- 1ected from the members of the Base ball Writers Association, appoint two all-league teams, one from the Ameri- can and the other from the National League, and that these com binations play a 8eries of nine games for the worlds hampionship, each game to be played in a different city on the two big circuits. The plan calls for the choice to be limited to twenty players in each league, and also would limit a players eligibility to two years of such worlds championship play The selection of each player would be made by a majority vote in the com naittee and no city would have more than one representative on such com naittee.
 The father of the idea points out that such a plan would provide a, series between the best players of each league and would thus prove a test of the playing ability of the two rival or ganizations. It would further g1ve star players in second division clubs a chance to share in the worlds series money and the fans of the two leagues
 
 cults an opportunity to witness at least one game of each seasons worlds series. From a financial stand point the; sixteen clubs composing the two major leagues would all share in the receipts and the leading players as well. By limiting the eligibility of a player to two years the way would be open for new and rising players to figure in the series.
 It is pointed out that such a plan would do away with the Jealousy and jeers of those players and magnates who feel that they are entitled to a portion of the thousands of dollars now annually divided by the leading clubs of the two leagues. Those who have heard the scheme explained and do not approve of it, claim that it is too Utopian for professional baseball and opens the way for charges of faNoritisrn and wire pulling during the selection process They further con tend that the interest, being national rather than centralized, would result in a heavy falling off in gate receipts and lead to the eventual collapse of the worlds series as the climax of the baseball season. Regardless, however of personal opinions, the fact that such a broad plan should have been evolved shows that there are baseball men who do not believe that the pres ent worlds series is the last word in Americas national sports.
 Preliminary details for the 1914 yacht race for the Americas cup are rapidly being completed on both sides of the Atlantic. Long before the eheI- 1enger and defending candidates slide off the ways, the sailing masters, skip pers and crews will have been select ed and all plans arranged for the trial and tuning-up races, both off the English and American coasts. Three possible cup defenders are assured for
