NATIONAL LEAGUE TO MEET
Holds Final Conference with Sew
eral Questions Of Importance
Before House.
PLAYER LIMIT IS A THORN

NEW YORK. Feb. 6--wath the holding
OF the National league schedule meeting
here next Tuesday the base ball mag
mates of organized base bali will begin
20 edge out of the spotlight in favor Of
the player. The winter months mark the
season of the magnates greatest promi-
hence. and this has been particularly
true of the league executives and club
owners since the world series, The strug-
gle between Organized and independent
base ball interests has forced the player.
in his active role. we'll into the back
ground with the call for spring train
ing and the announcement of schedules
real base ball enthusiasm will begin TO
revive and the possibilities of the 1915
season outlined.
Before this situation in the national
sport can be reached, however. there are
u number of important rulings, legal
and executive, which must be clarified.
The schedule meeting of the American
league has already been held and the
National league will hold its final con-
ference in this city next Tuesday. At
this gathering the magnates Of the senior
league whl pass officially upon the play
ing dates Tor the coming season, and also
upon several resolutions and suggestions
passed or considered at the meeting held
early In December.
Hescind Player Rule.
Chief among these is the rule limiting
a club to twenty-one players during the
major portion OF the pennant race and
the proposal to deny the withdrawal Of
! waivers once requested upon player
as we'll as the proposition to increase
the number of games in the worlds ser
les. General opinion among the National
league magnates appears to indicate thai
the twenty-one player rule will be re
scinded at this meeting. Passed at .
time when a. financial retrenchment pol
/ icy was strongly advocated a careful
consideration OF the effects of the rule
has led to the belief that 1t will work 9
hardship upon the majority Of the clubs
without effecting saving in keeping
with its drastic results.
Regarding the proposed rule against th'
withdrawal of waivers requested, ther'
is wide difference OF opinion and def
mite action on this proposition is uncer.
tan. The question has been discussed
generally among club owners and man
ayers since the December meeting. ans
there IS much doubt regarding the cffec
of such a regulation. 1t appears likeI!
that the proposal win be tabled for fur
Their consideration. The idea OF increas
\ ing the worlds series games from sever
to nine. or even eleven contests. has ap
parently been dismissed for the presen
at least. It is probable that the matte
win be given but passing mention 4
business before the league.
