some Other Matters.
Two other matters that point
strongly TO the fact that the owners
OF the majors intend TO make the
most OF it IS the retention Of the 25-
player limit by the American league
magnates, and the arranging OF a
154-Eame schedule. Rumors that the
limit would be cut down 10 IS men
have caused quite a depression in the
ranks Of baseball. although 70 IS a
fact that II would contribute 70 a

leagues or the dropping OF one

tendency to strengthen the other
clubs. and a faster EtrHndnrd Is
generally dispensed.
