NEW YORK, Feb. 22-That old be-
whiskered gent who back in the stone
ages somewhere announced that every
action has its reaction must have been
looking into the dim and misty future
at the 1915 baseball chaos. Certain 1t
is that the reaction of frenzied fin
ance in our national pastime is here.
Never was thing more fully demon
strated than at the recent meeting Of
National league magnates here.
Thirty-two herths in the National
league occupied last year will be va
oant this season. That means a saw.
ing OF from $4,000 to 500 900 to the
masnates and the blighting of thirty
two aspiring youngsters hopes. For
the moguls decreed that no club
should carry more than twenty-one
men from May 1 to September / Last
year they were allowed to pay travel
ing expenses for twenty-five.
Thirty-two jobs have been suddenly
snatched away from ball players.
Friends of o. B. lay the blame On the
Feds. Federal adherents, quick to re-
sent anything of the sort, claim that
it is merely the result of hard times,
and deny absolutely that the Feds are
responsible for anything that would
take anything away from the sun.
burned athletes
Be that as it may, the retrenchment
days are here. Ball players few
months ago held UP the Federal ogre
as a means of drawing fat contracts
from their o. B. bosses. Now their
bosses tell them If they can help
themselves by taking the hurdle, go
to 1t. That is what President James
Gaffney Of the champion Braves told
Leslie Mann at the National meeting.
Mann wanted $500; Gaffney offered
So. 900 and refused to bulge.

Old Time Training Season Squad OF
rs or 80 Men is Thing of the
Past in the Central
Association.
FEW PLAYERS REPORT
This League Has Joined With Larger
Organizations in Picking
the Best Early,
Says Scribe.

MUSCATINE, Ia, Feb. 22-The
old-time squad of 25 or 80 recruits
who We're once wont to gather at the
c. A. ball parks when the training
season opened. will be missing when
time is called around April I, this
year.
1t is significant that practically
every manager of the circuit has an
nounced that he will try out but few
players this season. 1t has been the
experience of the majority of the pill
OTIS that large training squads rareiy
resulted in good teams and for the
present season there will be no divl-
sion Of the squad into two teams for
the simple reason that there will not
be enough ball players to go around.
Ned Egan will have nineteen men
report for the spring work, seven
pitchers, five infielders, four outfield-
ers and three catchers. Lizzie" Rich
ards announces that he will have only
seventeen men in training at MIRA
shalltown. Frank Boyle at Keokuk,
choosing an entirely new team, will
have only comparatively small squad.
Andrews Is signing only one or two
additional men for the various div1s-
ions of the field at Waterloo and other
pilots are going about the preseason
work in much the same way. To date,
despite whole troop of applications,
Harry Bey at Mason City, has signed
only thirteen men and expects to sign
only half a dozen more, picking his
men carefully and taking no chances
on a delay in the training WORK
through a tryout of driftwood and
worthless material that always creeps
into the squad and halts the entire
club in its advance work.
The new policy Is being followed
throughout the country and means
that hundreds of ball players will this
season be out even a chance to land
job. whereas in former years the
highways and hedges we're combed for
material by practically every club III
the country. AS result huge squads
