PLAYER LIMIT GIVES
AMERICANS ADVANTAGE

Perhaps the best explanation Of the
difference in the strength OF the
American and National Leagues Is
that Ban Johnson allows his clubs to
carry twenty-five players. while the
National holds It's clubs 10 twenty
one men during the playing season,
says J. Ed. GriIlo. IN the Washington
Star.
This difference unquestonahly gives
the American Lea que a big advan-
tage, because 1t can carry players for
developm ent, while the old league
clubs. limited TO twenty-one. cannot
carry enough utility players TO plug
up holes caused by accidents.
There Is likely to pc an awakening
by the National League magnates in
the matter of this limit. resulting III
legislation this winter which WILL put
them on a par with their rival circuit
