! CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 21.-Wed-
nesday's national commission meet
ing at Chicago may result in the
player limit Of the clubs in the
major leagues being reduced to eigh-
| teen men to a club.
This was indicated today by Garry
Hermann, chairman of the commits
sion.
Some action must be taken to cut
down the expense of operating major
league clubs" said Hermann. Il do
not think it is up to either league to
start retrenching. The action must
be taken in unison. For that reason
believe the first step SHOULD be
taken by the commission. / think we
will take this step Wednesday.
Every league ball club is carrying
considerable dead timber, players
who rarely get chance to break
into the lineup. Why not put these
fellows back in the minors, where
they can improve them selves by
playing regularly and at the same
time increase the standard of base
ball in those leagues.

Circuit.
[BY H. c. HAMILTON

/ UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
| NEW YORK, May 21.-The rejuve-
nation of western teams in the Ma
tionaI league will do more to boost
ing baseball to greater glory than
anything in years, in the opinion Of
Governor John K. Tener, president
of the circuit.
Pointing out the dash and spirit of
the Chicago and ST. Louis clubs in
the past few weeks, the season has
been sitting along, Tener declared it
not only was pleasant surprise but
one that will create renewed interest
in these clubs. This means increased
patronage in every one of the eight
cities, with a tremendous increase in
Chicago and st. Louis. \
1t has been so long since the Cubs
and Cardinals gave promise of doing
anything more than going through
the motions of baseball season that
the fans have tried to forget them
The sudden rise of the teams has
turned that feeling around.
Comm nting on the Cubs Tener
said:
Joe Tinker had fifty ball players
from which to build baseball team.
He didn't do it. 1t must be a great
satisfaction to Fred Mitchell to know
that he has been able to fight his
way through with a team of left
overs"
The White Sox streak was stopped
by the Red Sox at the probable ex-
pense of Manager Barry's services.
Six hits was the Athletics total for
two games. The Indians won both.
Boland's double in pinch, COM
bined with his pitching. troubled the
Yankees to the extent Of one to
nothing.
