New York, Feb. 3.-The question of
reducing the playing limit of 81 play
ers and adoption of the schedule for the
coming season were the matters up for
consideration at the melting here to-
day of the American League club own
ers. The proposal to lift the drafting
rule from the International League, the
American Association and the Pacific
Coast League, which make up the three
class AAA leagues, promises to take up
a large part OF the club owners time
while in session.
If one class AA League is accorded
this privilege from the National Com
mission the others will demand that the
National Commission lift the drafting
rule from them. This matter, it is said,
will be placed before the American
League Club owners. Final action on
the rule will take place at the meeting
of the National Commission this week.

"TRIS" SPEAKER, 32 TODAY, A
 SAD VICTIM OF CIGARETTES.
BY "GRAVY."

Gather about our knee, title l children, and we will spin for you the sad and pitiful story of a promis- ing career which was knocked in the
 bud by indulgence in the baneful and wicked practice of smoking cigaroots. Once upon time thirty-two years ago today. April 19, 1883, to slip you the exact vital statistics-there was born in Hubbard City. in the grand old state of Texas a male child. His papa's name was Speaker, and the offspring was christened Tristram, after the famous MT. Shandy. (Deep ht'ry stuff.) This. male child grew to be a stalwart boy, and ..all might have been well, had he not fell in with evil companions, who led him to indulge in the deadly habit of wniff- ing the paper pipes. Poor Tristram's s growth was stunted, and when he reached an inch short of six feet he stopped growing.
 The poor little shrimp with his cigarette-stained fingers, aspfred to become a baseball pitcher, and he was given a chance to display his abil- ity in pushing the pellet by the kind manager of the Cleburne club in the North Texas league. It was soon dis covered that the cigarette habit had affected his soup bone so seriously that he was impossible as a twirler, and he was sent to outfield. The next year the poor cigarette fiend had to be content with a job as outer gar dener for the Houston club of the Texas league. There his work was so poor, and his batting average of -314 so unsatisfactory, that George Huff, athletic director of the Uni versity of Illinois and then a scout for the Boston Red Sox, recommended that he be drafted. Houston was glad to get $500 for him, for cigaretter couldn't be expected to last long or accomplish much.
 At Boston young Speaker didn't get a chance to show his wares, and the Red Sox management just naturally forgot his existence when the time came around for sending out con- tracts. Speaker was left a free agent, and he kept the wires warm appeal ing for job. Barney Dreyfuss thought of signing him for the Pirates, but when he discovered that the Texan smoked cigarettes it was all off.
 Nix on that fellow" said Barney.
 l m off him. I won't have a cig- arctic buffer on my club. They're no
New Britain herald., 1915-04-19

good-no endurance, no wind, nc speed. nothin' at all
 At about this juncture Boston re- membered Iris existence and turned him over to Little Rock as ground rent man. Hampered as he was by his terrible addiction, all Speaker could do in the Southern league was to bat $50 At the close of the sea son Boston bought him back for $500.
 Early last year, after Speaker had made reputation as one of the great est outhelders and hardest hitters in the American league. the Feds tried to cop him, but Boston saved him by offering a contract for two years Tor S37,000, which established a new record for an active player. Last year ne was third among batting heroes of the American league, with an aver age of .338, being surpassed only by Cobb and Collins.
 And now, little children. whenever you are tempted to form the wicked habit of cigarette smoking. remem- Der the sad story of Tristram Speaker. the poor Texan, and think of what a great man he might have become if he mad staid off the paper pipes.

PIONEERS WIN IN
 THEIR FIRST GAME
In Doing So Local Team Cncovers Winkler. Whose Work on Mound
 Is Lauded By Fans.

The Pioneers opened their season yesterday by defeating the Larkspurs of Hartford in 8 rather slow and uninteresting game. The locals used three pitchers in order to give all a tryout, while the Hartford boys were forced to put another man in the box after the sixth inning.
 Winkler, a new addition to the local pitching staff, proved that the Pioneers know what they are doing when they after a pitcher. Out of nine men that faced him at bat, seven were retired on strikes. He also proved himself no weakling when it comes to handling the willow, by get ting two good hits out of as many times at bat. one being for two bases.
 McKeon started the scoring for the locals after the Hartford team had scored one by getting a three base hit in the second inning and going home on J. F'itzpatrick's single. The Larkspurs scored one in the first and one in tho second inning, but were unable to get any more, while the locals continued to pile up their tal- lies by sending one man across in the fourth, two in the seventh and one more in the eighth, making a score of 6-2 in their favor.

The first few days of baseball leave little chance of comparison of the teams in the different leagues. as tho season is hardly old enough to figure upon the efficiency of each machine but there has been enough playing Ro far to estimate in q measure the pre- paredness oc clcbs for q six months dash. Tn this respect two outfits stand out, the Philadelphia squad in the Ma tional league. and the Yankees in the younger organization. N

 There are few pennants won in April. howver, although a good beEh1- ming is said to be getting the work half done. and there will have to be more than condition among the Phn- lies to keep them in front until Octo- Der. Moran says there is plenty more. He shouts at the top Of his voice that there is not a chance 10 keep his team from the worlds series spells He asserts that he has the best pitching staff, the best catcher, the best pony infield and the hardest hitting outfiald in the league. Moran insists that the Phillies cannot lose.
 Seldom does a major league mann- ger become so firm in his predictions or arguments about pennant winning as has Moran. The pugnacious [rIgh man will listen 10 no deductions thatH place another team above his.
