somewhat along the following lines:
Pitchers, s.; catchers, 4; infielders, 6;
outflelders, q. At the beginning of tho
1913 season the American League
club rosters contained the following
number of players: Athletics, 30;
Washington, 25; Cleveland, &c; Bos.

York, rs; st. Louis, 30. The National
League list was about the same.

Strengthening before the opening Of
next season il they are TO be drawing

without exception these clubs have d
large percentage of their present

and where desirable and seasoned new
material is to be secured and carried
under the 81 player rule is some.
