PLAYER LIMIT RULE
WORRIES MAGNATtS
Club Owners Are Beginning to Have
Bad Dreams and Merit OF Rule
.. Is Doubted.

Since the National League voted to
establish a twenty-five player limit
and do away with the disability
clause, some OF the club owners have
been having bad dreams. And now
the merit Of the. new rule Is being
doubted.
What will do II injuries to play
ers ever break up my infIeld or out
f1eld?"
This L. what the club owner In the
National League has been bordering
on of late. and he has an excuse for
nightmare. Under the new rule In
tured players, in fact, all players I'M
der contract to a National League
club, must be counted within the
player limit during the CLOSED sea-
son."
Suppose some National League club
suffers as the Yankees did last sum-
mer. SUPPOSE injury upon injury

owner be forced to play pitchers in
the place OF his regular players? Echo

When the old leaguers are in ses-
sion they are nearly as close with
news as a clam. But since the meet

trickled out. One scrap of info" says

which will enable that club to patch
up Its lineup, at least temporarily.
But II there Is tight race on, and
the rule Is stable, what about the
limit In time that shall be given a
club to carry more than twenty-five
men? What will the magnates do In
the heat of pennant scramble !?
Should such a condition arise 1t is
more than likely that genuine dissat-
isfaction would crop out all around.
So the magnates are wondering.
Some OF the baseball wiseacres are
predicting that when the National
Leaguers get set" on q player limit
rule that will be satisfactory all
around there will be higher limit,
and also a disability clause. for at
least two clubs-the Giants and Cubs
are against tho rule as 1t stands at
present.

NAY TAX OLD HIGH
LIVING COST ITSELF


Washington. Dec 2s.--A tax on the
high cost OF living as means Of
reflling the depleted Golfers Of tho
Federal treasury was taken under COM
sideration today by Treasury Depart
ment officials. seeking new sources of
revenue. The proposal would provide
a graduated tax on articles of food in
cold storage warehouses throughout
the country and was hailed by admin
istration leaders in and out Of Congress
As new means Of taxation which
would raise revenue without arousing
popular disapproval.
The suggestion was submitted to
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
frame general revenue program to
be laid before Congress soon after
the holidays. The condition of the
treasury. with the outlook for a $500
100000 deficit during the next fiscal
year. has aroused considerable anxiety
among administration leaders. Sug-
gestion of increased liquor and beer
taxes. and OF consumption taxes on
tea. coffee. sugar and other necessaries
have been received with outspoken
disapproval by members Of the House
Ways and Means Committee. which
must frame new revenue legislat ton.
They declare that Congress could not
be forced to enact measures taxing
the necessaries Of life. under present
cost OF living conditions.
SO the treasury experts have turned
to the cost Of living itself a. source
Of revenue.
verious government Investigations
Of high food prices have devslo ped
charges that tho ''cornering'' Of food
products In cold storage warehouses
hAs had much to do with raising
prices. Federal legislation to limit the
length Of time food may remain In
storage has been suggestsd. 9ut the
revenue experts believe that a tax
would prove repediAl and at the same
time help out the treasury.

MITCHELL HAD CEECkERED
CAREER ON THE DlAMONl

The real name Of Fred Mitchell, the
newly appointed manager OF the Cubs
is Yapp. but he changed It early in
his baseball career because, while
some people might consider the name
appropriate for a professional ball
player. he thought it would make him
too much OF Joke.
Fred Yapp was born in Aliston,
Mass, part of Boston, forty-two
years ago, and lived In South Law
renee, Mass, when a boy. his father
running riding park. Fred attended
the Packard School there, where he
played second base. The family re-
moved to Concord. N. H, and later
to Brookline, Mass. Fred played
semi-professional ball In Concord;
then for Lawrence, Of the Eastern
League.
He first attracted the attention of
big Lacquer when Jimmy Collins.
manager OF the Boston Americans In
the first year Boston had q team in
the young league, gave him a trial.
He was a pitcher then. and one day
as he was warming up Collins called
him to one side and suggested a
change in his name
IT you ever get on this team" said
Jimmy, every fan In this country
will pan you with Close you yap'
and other such expressions" Fred
took the cue and adopted his mother
surname.

PENNSYLVANIA TEAM
WELCOMED BY RAIN

Los Angeles. Dec. 2s.-After travel
ing $500 miles to find the land Of per-
petual sunshine the University OF Penn
football team ran into a sloppy rain
and cold cutting wind today. A
blanket Of 1ugubrious clouds hung over
the landscape all day and there was
nothing cheering about the whole
affair.
In the morning the team was taken
through the Universal City. At 8
o'clock in the afternoon Folwell took
his squad to Tournament Park. where
they slid into the uniforms and went
to work. In spits of the cold driz-
zle, the work was fast and snappy.
The men were driven hard by Fol-
well. whose main object Is speed ana

The work was entirely signal drill and

open to the public and perhaps hun
dred persons witnessed tho workout.
