PLAYER LIMIT TO BE MAINTAINED

suits of the Major and Eastern Leagues.

s Chicago, May o5.-The player limit
of twenty two men will be maintained
by the National League, President
John K Tener announced today. in
denying reports at meeting of the
National Baseball Commission that the
league teams would reduce their play
ing stats.
August Hermann, owner of the Gin
cfnnati Nationals, and chairman of the
National Commission, said that ru-
mors that the league would retrench
were without foundation.
The plan to reduce the player limit
never has been considered: neither
is it contemplated Mr.. Hermann
said
The commission disposed of several
minor league cases during its four
hour session and adjourned until to-
morrow. It Is generally believed that
the commission will suggest a policy
for the major league clubs to pursue

Putnam Team Is Getting Ready.

The Putnam club is fast getting into

Southbridge on Memorial day. All
last week a force of men were work

diamond in this part of the state.
The players are all in fine condition
and anxious to play ball. Capt. Gus
MdNamee, the premier backstop, who
caught Jim Hanly all last season, says
the old boy never was in better form.
Jim is a great favorlte with the Put
nam fans. During the entire season
that he pitched he did not lose a game.
Hanly pitched four seasons with Man
haitian college and while in college
was considered one of the best college
pitchers in the country. In 1914 he

TUFTS MAY LOSE
FOOTBALL COACH
Or. Charles WheIan is Member of
Medical Officers Reserve.

Dr.. Charles Whelan. the efficient
Tufts football coach, is a member of
the Medical Officers Reserve and the
chances are largely that he will not be
on hand when the football season
opens at Medford next season. Tufts
had looked forward to having a fine
eleven next fall, but under normal
conditions only two men of the team
that defeated Harvard and held
Princeton to TO o contest, would
have been lost.
Now, however, enlistment In the
national service of several star play
ers has spoiled the outlook, while DR.
Whelan's probable absence alone
would make the situation dubious.
But Tufts need not be as gloomy as
dispatches picture her: there will be
football next fall anyway. This ap-
plies also to Pittsburgh, whose crack
football players: Hastings, DeHart,
Sizes. McLaren. Meadows, Seide1, Her
ron and Morrow have already enlisted
for the training camp at Fort Niagara.

Now that Gene MCCAIN didn't get

it is probable that the Eastern league

Last year Mccain had his bunch
