LINES TIGHTER
ON PLAYER LIMIT
Every Man Signed Comes
Within Rule, Say Nation
al Leaguers.

The lines were drawn still tighter or
the twenty-five player limit at the sec
ond day session Of the National Leagues
annual meeting in the waldorf-Astoria
yesterday. According to Secretary John
Heydler. the league had decided that ut
limit to include all players on a club
within its bounds, such as college or
semi-professional players which a club
might pick up during the season"
The argument came up as a result of
the complaint OF the New York club that
President Tener refused to honor q special
contract entered into between the Giants
and Charles Stafford. a college player
from Tufts. Tener also demurred about
accepting the Giant contract signed by
"Pi' Way Of Yale. Hereafter when any
club signs a college player II must first
release a man to keep within the twenty
two limit.
John B.. Day. owner Of the original
Giants n later Manage of the New
York team, has been pcnsioned for life.

league has waived on the man involved,
met with favor and was turned over to
the committee on constitution. consist
OF Garry Hermann m Baker. to be
put In the form Of an amendment and
brought up for action at the February
meeting. Tit motion OF the New York
club that no more than two games may
be played on any day also was turned
over to this committee.
Charles II. Ebbets. Barney Dreyfuss
and John Heydler were appointed a com
mittee to draw up suitable resolutions
on the death OF Nicholas Young. former
president Of the league.
The 2o cent seat question Is again
being raised. and President Baker OF
Philadelphia says he may reduce the
number OF his % cent bleacher seats
from $500 to 5000. He says that 200.
900 persons saw the Phillies play from
quarter seats last season. and rival clubs
were putting up a protest. Again Eb'
bets is leading the fight to exterminat'
the bleacherite.
Tener's suggestion for improving thu
worlds series M the new form Of con
tracts will come up to-day. Heydlei
said the league would probably remair
in session until tomorrow.
