topics will be discussed AT the National

suggestion of Charles H.. E.bbets for a
later schedule start. The F1atbush
Squire seems TO stand alone on this
issue. The twen,y-one player roster
limit and the restriction against spring
training before March I. adopted a year
ago, are sure to- be retained. Several
National League club owners will even
suggest that the club rosters be pared
