Boston, Mass, Feb. S.-When the
eastern league gets 70 the point where
it will really decide whether It will
operate or suspend in the coming
baseball season. perhaps the first
matter which will receive its consid-
GRAFTON is the suggestion Of manager
Jack Mack. Of the Boosters, that the
teams be cut TO IS players.
Such action will give every team
in the league two backstops and four
pitchers. which manager Mack thinks
ought to be all any team might ask
to have.
His idea IS to have one OF the bat
terry players do substitute service in
the field If the regular or any po-
sition is temporarily out OF the game.
The adoption of that rule would
make Il possible for the league 10 con-
tlnue at much reduced cost OF opera
ton, and II patronage and financial
support is lacking a club may still
be able TO 90 along without losing
money, as the costs have been ma
terially reduced.
