TO RETAIN LARGE PLAYER LIMIT
Spring Training Trips Are to be Continued Leagues Backers Are Still Unpaid-Jont Meeting of Leagues be Held

Chicago, Dec. 1s-Retsntfon of the twenty-five player limit and contin- uation of the usual spring training trips was decided upon at the closing session of the American League meeting tonight. The club owners cleared up these points in preparation for the joint meeting with the Ma tional Leaguers here tomorrow.
 Summarized, the important uues- tions toti be considered by the sixteen club owners of the two leagues are:
 The advisability of reducing the playing schedule to 140 games.
 The advisability of a 154-game schedule running only 5 1-2 months.
 Devising a method to collect the federal war tax
 Settlement of the financial obliga- tions resulting from the Federal League war.
 Suggestion of new division of the world series receipts.
 Inserting a war clause in the play ers' contracts to protect the club own CT in the event the player is called into the national army.
 President Johnson'S announcement that the S110,000 fund agreed upon to reimburse packers of Federal League clubs still remained unpaid caused surprise. He said that the American League was ready to pay it's share $55, ,O00-at once. but that the entire issue would have to be settled by the club owners of the two leagues to- IuofIoW. .It was reSedled lLdI Eu- ward Gwinner, who lost heavily in backing the Pittsburgh club of the Federal League, is to receive $50,000 of the fund. and the balance is to be divided between Harry Sinclair, who financed the Newark club, and the Ward estate of New York, which supported the Brooklyn Federals.
 The suggestion advanced by the Ma tionaI League that a new lewiston of the worlds series receipts be made did not gain favor with the American League club owners. The National League proposes to limit the amount the players of the contending clubs receive and divide the remainder among the players on the four lead ing clubs in the two leaZnes.
