MANY PLAYERS ARE
 SUBJECT TO RECALL
Tanks; With 27 Reserves, Lead
 Both Leagues

Cincinnati, Aug. 1O.-The National Baseball commission yesterday gave out a full list of major league players who have been released to minor league clubs under properly approved optional agreements. In the cases of all of these clubs the releasing ma jor league club has the right to repur- chase any of these players at the specified terms on August IS. The list this year is especially large. The fact that a major league club lets out a player on option does not neces- sarily mean that the player will be re- called.
 Owing to the more expansive sys- tenn of letting out young players there are more players out on options this year than ever before. The Yan- kees lead by big margin. They have the right to recall twenty-one players to the colors, including several not yet selected by the club in return for other players. The club already has recalled it's most promising farm hands, Shocker, Aragon and Miller, but other promising boys who are subject to recall, this month are Tip pie, Hendryx, Blodgett and Piercey
 The Giants have several promising players subject to recall, among them being Jim Thorpe, who is hitting we'll in Milwaukee; Bill Ritter the pitcher, and Rodriguez, the Cuban first base man, who is doing fine work for New London Brooklyn has ten players out on option, the most promising be- ing Smythe, Nixon and Mack Wheat
 A number of options which include only a money consideration on the side of the major league club are also included in the list which follows:
