Amateur Baseball Heads To
Meet in Toledo, Ohio, Friday

TOLEDO. O., Jan. 1.-THE question
Of how long a professional ball
player should have been retired from
the professional ranks before he is
eligible to join any Of the clubs under
the supervision Of the National Base
ball Federation will be one OF the
most important matters 10 come up at
the second annual meeting OF the fed
Grafton on Friday at the Hotel secor
here.
The National Baseball Federation
does not insist upon the rulings. "once
q professional. always aiprofessional," Z"
or professional for ambitious young
players to secure try-outs In the pro-
fessional ranks and for former pro-
fess.Onais to keep on playing ball even
after they have retired from the big
league"
The federation takes the view that
the younger players are better off for
having experienced veterans to coach
them. But the federation does not
wish TO have a loophole for profess
sional players TO get into the amateur
and semi-professional ranks by the al
lurements OF easy jobs with firms fos-
tering and supporting representative
clubs.
At present the National Baseball
Federation has two olassifications Of
players: Glass A. those players who
receive no monetary remuneration for
their services as a player during the
current season lin other words anna
teurs) Glass AA. those players who do
not earn a livelihood by their services
as players Gin other words. a player
who receives small sums OF money for
playing ball with his own or another
club. but earns his living IN another
manner entirely, these players being
commonly known as semi-profes-
sionals).
Last year the National Baseball
Federation conducted championship
lnter-city series for both Class A and
Glass AA Ateams. Fourteen cities from
the West. Middle West. South and Mid
die Atlantic States put forth their
representative clubs in the Glass AA
competition Johnstown, Pa; Cleve-
land. O.; Cincinnati. o. and Louis
vile. Ky, competed in the Glass A
series.
The Kelsch team. Of Cleveland. won
the houors IN the Class A division,
with the Knights Of Columbus team, Of
Louisville KY. as runner-up.
After an exciting and interesting
elimination series the NOrwoods OF
Cincinnati. O.. won the Glass AA title
with the Rail Lights. OF Toledo. o..
as runner-up. The other cities par
ticipating included Des Moines. Ia:
