THREE outfielders with the Boston
L Braves this year have been staging
a merry fight for regular jobs
And the strange part Of it is that
the three we're former team mates in
the minor leagues.
joe Kelly, who once had fling
with the White Sox, and later played
with the Pirates and Cnbs, is one Of
the trio. Rabbit Powell secured from
Providence last season by Manager
Stallings, is the second, and Al Wick
land, who came to the Braves from the
Indianapolis club through the draft

THREE OLD TEAM MATES STRIVE
FOR BOSTON OUTFIELD BERTHS

Kelly and Powell were team mates at
St Joseph. No, under John Holland.
They played the oufield together and
played IL like q flash. But later they
became separated. and finally Powell
drifted into the international league,
while Kelly landed at Indianapolis,
Whehe he became a team mate Of
Wickland after the Feds broke up
Wickland was a member Of the Chi
cago Feds before Joining the Indian
apolis club under Jack Hendricks
So Kelly has been team mate OF
both his rival outfieIding recruits
and il would be hard TO find a speed
Ter or better matched trio than these
lads. WIckland has shared the for
tunes of managerial whims with the
other two, as all three have been
played in outfield positions at differ
ent times by the Boston management

CUTTING DOWN

DRESIDENT EBBETs, Of the Brook

tons in baseball make such a move

Twenty years ago National league
teams carried Il. IS or Is players and
stiu provided the public with good

error. the Brooklyns. when they won
the pennant in 1900. were composed
OF II men-three pitchers. two catch

ers- The schedule that year called
for 1876 games. The practice of carry
ing as many as p players nowadays
IS absurd. There are two many pitch.
ers, extra fielders and pinch hitterS
handed hltters against right handed
pitchers and the reverse whenever
they feel like it.
Do Il New.
Clubs that are keeping six infield-
ers OF outfielders, together with eight
or nine pitchers are not willing to aid
clubs that are short OF material But
if the player limit is reduced to 16 or
IS men, at least 30 capable players
VIII be available I do not mean that
the weak clubs should get players
for nothing They should be made to
nay q fair price
But, under present conditions,
whlch have become alarming be-
cause Of the many players already
taken IN the Eelective draft, the
National league must act quickly.
Cut down the player limit and
make the pennant race more even
" balanced. That s. n common
