he has been watching the Yanigans at
work, declared that he had not been
notified that the limit rule on PLAYERS

order to prevent the Federal League
from signing players turned back to the
minors by the big league clubs the ma
tional commission had decided to abolish
the limit rule which compels clubs to
reduce their lists to twenty-five players
by May 10.
Manager Mack sal, however, that he
would not be surprised if such an order
would be issued. as the Federals were
only waiting for chance to grab a lot
of young players from organized base
ball. It Is believed that both the Ameri-
can and National Leagues will agree upon

There are some towns in the new

lived in New York and does not realize
this. But if he intends to run Sunday

Another thing. Did Ward ever stop to
think that the very talk he is making
about Sunday base ball is food for re-
formers? When battle against Sunday
base ball is made the first thing the re-
formers will bring up is the fact that a
