EASTERN LEAGUE TO
CUT PLAYER LIST

Boston Fcb.-Whcn the Eastern
League gets to the point where ii will
really decide whether it will operate
or suspend in the coming baseball
season perhaps the first matter which
will receive its consideration is the
suggestion Of Manager Jack Mack OF
the Boosters that the teams be cut
to thirteen 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
10 have.
His idea is to have one OF the bat.
terry players do substitute service in
the field if the regular or any posi-
ton is temporarily out of the game.
The adoption of that rule would
make it possible for The league to
continue at much reduced cost Of
operation, and If patronage and iinan-
cial support is lacking a club may
stlll be able to so along without los.
ing money, as the costs have been
materially reduced
