New York, Feb. IO.-Nstional league
club owners in their annual schedule
meeting yesterday ground out grist
of important business. The mag
mates of the senior league declined 10
follow the lead OF the American league
in several instances, the most impor-
tant of which was that pertaining to
the time for players going 10 the
training camps and the placing Of a
limit on the number Of players TO be
carried.
Instead OF revoking the edicr that
no players be sent into training camps
by any club before March l each year
this was made a hard and fast rule
and read into the constitution. Sim
liar action was taken as 70 the revi-
sion OF the player limit from % 70 r.
adopted at the December meeting.
The New York club Representatives
tried to have the limit raised TO 22'
but this was voted down. In addition
all player managers who participate
in one or more games during the sea
son are to be included in the player
limit of 81. which will be the maximum
from May l TO Sept. 1 each year.

Chicago. III, Feb. 1O.-President
Thomas OF the Cubs is trying to induce
National league club owners TO change
the waiver rule. making it necessary
for a club to take a player if it re
fuses to waive claim on him. or at
least 10 remove its claim within d per-
iod of three or five days.
We asked waivers on one of our
players early in the winter" said
Thomas. and one of the clubs claim
ed him. That club waited a month,
then decided it didn't want him
In the meantime we had two off
ferent opportunities TO use that
player in a trade. but couldn't under
the conditions. When the club final
ly did waive claim. our chances to
trade the man had disappeared. The
fact of the matter was the other club
put in a claim. then spent a month
trying TO work up a deal to trade
that player for some one it wanted
and when it couldn't make the deal it
waived claim
