national commission meeting at Chi
cago may result in the player limit OF
the clubs in the major leagues being
reduced to eighteen men to a club.
This was indicated by Garry Herr
mann, chairman of the commission.
Some action must be taken to cut
down the expense of operating major
league clubs" said Hermann. Il DO
not think it is up to either league to
start retrenching. The action must be
taken in unison.
For that reason / believe the first
step should be taken by the commits
sion ] think we will take this step
tomorrow.
Every major league ball club is car
rying considerable dead timber. play
ers who rarely get chance to break
into the lineup. Why not put these
fellows back in the minors. where they
can improve themselves by playing
regularly, and at the same time In
crease the standard Of base ball in
those leagues?"
