AMERICAN LEAGUE MAY
REDUCE PLAYER LIMIT

CLENEVLAND, oct. 31.-As a war
time measure, the American league
probably will cut its player limit to
twenty or twenty-one men next sea-
son. according TO James G. Dunn. pres
ident OF the Cleveland club. The ques-
ton will be settled at the annual meet
ing OF the league to be held in Chi
cago the latter part of the month.
Dunn believes that all of the clubs
are carrying too many pitchers and
that each team can reduce its roster
without impairing Its strength. Six
pitchers are sufficient for any major
league club, he believes, providing tho
SIX are willing TO work and keep in
condition.
with a schedule calling for 140
Iames." Dunn said, "it will be pos
sible to get along with fewer men.
think we all carry too many players.
II is my belief that a club does its
best work when a manager works
four pitchers in rotation and keeps
two In reserve"

CARDINALS WILL HAVE

st. Louis Nationals President
Declares He Has Higgins
Successor Picked.

ST LOUIS, oct 31.-The big guess
ing contest as to who will succeed
Miller Higgins as manager OF the st.
Louis Nationals Is at its height.
Branch Hickey, president Of the club,
asserts that the new Cardinals leader
has been chosen, but announcement
will be withheld until the deal is

Half a dozen men of high baseball
standing are under consideration, Ric-
key said, i'm the event the deal for the

Hickey said, "and IL only remains TO

have in mind will pilot the Cardinals

Hickey declares there is no scarcity
of talent of managerial ability. Altho
not the slightest hint has been dropped
II is believed that Jack Hendricks, the
manager OF the pennant-winning In
dianapolis club of the American asso-
citation: Paddy Livingston, manager
OF the Milwaukee club, and Roaring
BIZ Clymer. who piloted Louisville
In the American association race, are
among those under consideration TO
succeed Higgins. Ira Thomas, the
veteran of Connie Mack's old ma
chine, also is mentioned as a possible
candidate. Both Hendricks and ely
mer are understood to be under con-
tract for the 1918 season. but 1t is
pointed out that either probably could

TANNING WANTS CRACK
AT LIGHTWEIGHT KING
Joplin Fans Believe Okla
homan Would Give Leo
nard Stiff Battle.

JOPLIN. Mo-, Oct s1.-Following
the announcement that Champion
Benny Leonard Is not an officer OF the
national army and Is free to box where
and when he pleases. Bert Connors.
manager of Arlos flaming. pricked up
his ears. put on his company smile
and Immediately began convincing
everyone he met yesterday that he has
the only and original contender for
the lightweight honors of the world.
Connors is not very far wrong. at
that. Tanning is a fast and clever
kid. He may not have punch enough
to put the champ out in a short fight
he is handicapped a little because
of his exceedingly short arms-but he
stands good show to outpoint the
present holder of the worlds title.
And that Is Just exactly what Corners
is planning for.
Tanning showed more stuff" In
his bout against Cashill than a cham
pion would need. Cashill took ter
rible beating. but that is no sign that
he is a dub. for he isn't. Cashill has
beaten some mighty good boys and all
that was said about his record is true.
He simply met man that outclassed
him here Monday night.
Tanning Is Woodworking boy
himself. He has won his last three
fights, all Of them staged within the
last two weeks. He decisively beat
Henry Cherry at Oklahoma City two
weeks ago Monday and beat Ever
Hammer here Monday night, October
22. His victory over Cashill gave
Joplin fans a chance to see him in
action against a standup fighter and
he shows up better each time he gets
into ring.
Conners has an offer to take Fam
ming to Miami and box some OF the
native sons and Tanning has been
offered a chance to go against the
winner of the Bobby Waugh frankie
Murphy fight in Denver Friday night.
If Matchmaker Jimmie Bronson isn't
able to line up a match for the Okla
homan within a couple OF weeks he
probably will go to Denver for a fight.
Tanning has beaten Waugh, but Bobby
Is coming back strong, having regis
tered a decisive win over Benny
Cordova at Silver City last week.

Lineup of Soldiers Would
Make Hard Fight Against
Any College Team.

Has Kendall n chance to win against
the army team at Camp Funston,
Kan, next Saturday afternoon? Is a
question that has been asked many Of
the players lately by fans. Whether
they have a chance or not the Presby-
terians are sure getting ready for a
fight for the way Mefford and Nc
Birney have been showing the work
on them indicates that they are anxi-
Gus to make credtable showing
against the stars that will compose
the soldier eleven.
Since the joining of Mcdonald and
Wallace to the squad the Presbyter-
ians have been materially strength
ened Both are last-ye men and the
soldier game will be the first that they
have started in this season. For
throwing more power into the lineup
II is thot that Hause and Blevins also
of the last year all-victorious team
will be taken along for the fight with
the soldiers. They have been working
with the squad for several afternoons
lately.
There is doubt II any college team
in the country could hope for victory
over the men who can be thrown into
the game by the soldiers at Camp
Funston. They come from the cream
of the leading university teams of the
past. Following are some OF the
players:

Morissey is harder hitter than
Tanning and almost as clever. He
would be much better match for
Tanning than any Of the others whom
the Oklahoma flash has faced here
in Tulsa. A comparison can be drawn
by their showing against Cherry. A
few weeks ago Tanning won a deci-
sion over Cherry at oklahoma City.
Recently Morissey met the same man
out at Ogden and gave him such Il
beating that the referee stopped tire
bout In the eleventh. Here Is what

match:

lack steam. In his last meeting with
Puryear, however, Jackson adopted
different style, setting himself AMI
catching with hefty wallops his oppo-
ing punching power under these con-
ditiops which many who had seen him
fight many a battle did not know he

CONTROL Of HOOKWORM
AIM OF HEALTH BOARD
International Effort Made in 1916
to Check Spread Of
Disease.

NEW YORK. October 9. Efforts to
relieve and control hookworm disease
in eight southern states of this coun-
try and fifteen foreign countries oc-
cupied the chief attention OF the in
ternational health board, subsidiary
organization of the Rockefeller Foun-
dation. during 1916. according to add
vance sheets of the foundations re-
port made public here.
Extensive practical and scientific IN
quiries to determine the INTERPRETATION
of hookworm disease and malaria were
conducted, as well as experiments look
ing to the eradication OF yellow fever
infection. So far as South America Is
concerned. the report stated. the work
of the yellow fever commission.
financed by the board. resulted in de-
fining the problem and in preparing the
way for extending into other areas tho
methods shown to be most effective.
Active measures to control and pre-
vent hookworm disease are now in
operation in kentucky, Louisiana. Mis-
sissippi. North Carolina, South Carolina.

tigua, Grenada, st. Lucia, ST. Vincent
and Trinidad of the West Indies: IN
British Guiana and Dutch Guiana: in

of the far east" the report states.
The draining and regarding of natural
streams so as to secure a rapid off,
flow, the filing of bottoms and digging
of bitches, the removal of accumulated
vegetation and the systematic use Of
larvacidal substances was declared ef-
fectual in the elimination of malaria
infection in tests conducted in Arkan-
sas, the board declares. These measures
were taken on the theory that mos
quitoes are largely responsible for
spread of this disease.
