DANCES FOR JAcKIES

"Chaperonage Of girls to and from
parties given for the sailors at the
Great Lakes Training Station has
been so successfully managed that
Chicago can offer SUGGESTIONS to all
women who are planning recreation
for soldiers or Sailors" says Mary
Wood Human, field representative OF
the Department of Health and Recre-
alton of the Woman's Committee OF
the council of National Defense.
Groups of girls over 20 have been
sent with carefully chosen women,
who are made responsible for their
behavior. Usually each woman
takes 5 girls in her charge; never
more than TO- 1t is the rule that
the girls return to their chaperons
frequently during the evening.
1.-THE hostess committee in Chicago
also endeavors to see that there is
not too much duplication Of enter
tainment. Every hostess who Is to
entert7'- aen Is put
upon the hostess committee and talks
over the entertainment at least two
weeks before II takes place. Thus
the Inequalities can be so arranged
as to prevent number of entertain
ments occurring one Saturday nigh
and having none to offer the follow
ing week.
"Music for the different entertain
ments has proved problem.
partial solution has been found in a.
arrangement with the Great Lake
Station whereby a small band fror
the station is made available, TIL
committee pays the mems car far
and entertains them at dinner an
overnight. 1t has been found we'll
ask for more musicians than are a.
tually required, as the sailors like
relay each other. In that way all tn
players are given a chance to enjo
the dancing themselves.

FANS ALL TALKING

Johnny Corriden Writes of En-

Magnates and scribes having agreed
that the game is coming back big and
having laid Ntheir plans accordingly, it
also is interesting to hear from the
players on the subject and pleasing to
hear them join In the chorus of optim-
ism. Probably, too, some Of them are
in even closer touch with the fan pub
lie that either of the other two elements
named, and that gives increased weight
to what, the players have to say
Johnny Corridor, a shrewd observer
of things baseball, who is under re-
serve to the st. Paul American Asso-
citation club, is working this winter in
where hundreds Of men are employed,
and he has a great chance to learn how
they feel about baseball, even in a town
that has no league team. He writes:
Baseball is buzzing again, and it's
coming back with a rush. / can feel 1t.
] could feel last spring that it was go

Just as strong now hat it will go great.

have something to talk and read about

HIGGINS TO CUT A

The purchase Of Pitcher Pete Schnei-
der from the Cincinnati Reds indicates
hat Manager Miller Higgins of the
Yankees plans to do considerable de-
mobilizing next spring on what is now
one of the largest string of pitchers
in baseball. The Yankee boss appar-
antly is prepared to turn loose a flock
Of boxmen, for his pitching squad at
this time includes more than 20 men.
Many are veterans and on the outside
it would appear that Higgins was well
fixed in this department. His chase
for new boxmen, as emphasized in the
Schneider purchase. must mean that
some of the old-timers are slated to go.
Higgins closed the season with a
staff made up of Ffnneran, Heating,
Mogridge, Sanders and Love. y. short
time before the season closed Pitcher
Hank Robinson quit the club and ne
turned to his home in Alabama. Mog-
ridge did the best work of the Yankee
boxmen last season and seems certain
to be retained. Love pitched brilliantly
at times and was poor at others, Keat-
ing and Finneran did not enjoy the
success that Higgins had hoped for,
and both may be returned to the mi
nors. Robinson is through, as far as
the New York club is concerned. San
ders showed enough promise to make
Higgins enthuse over his prospects.

FRED MITCHELL
HAS LIMIT IDEA
Clubs May Own Twenty-Five
Men, But Garry Only 18.

President Manager Fred Mitchell, of
the Chicago Cubs, has a new player
limit idea that he has suggested for
adoption. His suggestion is to permit
each team to sign % men, but to use
only 10 on the road. In that way the
travelling expenses of four men would
he saved and that amounts to nearly
S. 600, WHICH is almost two players
salaries. In the event that a player
is injured on the road he can be sent
home and one of the reserves called to
take his place.
1.-The men tNat are left at home will
have to be out for practice every day"
said President Mitchell. youngsters
can be developed that a If we re-
duce to 20 players the manager is
deprived of the opportunity Of training
the men he thinks have a future. When
the club is at home it will have 20
players. The visiting team will have
only Is, but as every club has to play
half its games abroad and half at
home, they all get an even break. l
consider this one way Of saving money
and at the same time giving the man
ayers an opportunity to develop young
sters."
