BIG LEAGUE CLUBS
AIM TO RETRENCH
Training Operations to Be Con-
Quoted on Very Modest
Scale.

From present indications spring
training operations Of the 16 major
league ball clubs will be conducted on
very modest scale in 1918.
The heavy expense of taking a big
squad Of ball players to the sunny
Southland has caused talk Of curtail-
ments along this line for several years,
but because Of the hard knocks base
ball has taken In q financial way and
the uncertainties Of what the future
holds for the game owing to the world
war, there is little chance that the club
owners will be ready to spend money
lavfshly next spring.
A forerunner of the retrenchment
policies of major league-owners was
found In the draft last September,
when the major league clubs drafted
fewer players than for the past ten
years. The Chicago White Sox, for
instance, did not draft single player.
Neither did the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Several other clubs drafted only one
CT two men, and before spring train

chance that some of the drafted
players will be turned back.
The annual report Of the national
commission, showing the players pur-
chased from the minor leagues by ma
jor league clubs between the dates of
the 1916 and 1917 drafts, showed to-
tai of 127 players who were taken by
the big leagues under approved agree
ments, other than optional contracts.
In this list the Boston Red Sox did not
obtain a single player by the purchase
route, while the Boston Braves got but
one. The drafted players totaled 33,
u of whom were drafted by American
league clubs and q by clubs In the
National league.
In all the major leagues secured a
total Of 100 players, including both
those purchased for trial and those
drafted. OF this number it is said
that not more than so per cent will be
taken South next spring.
