President Heydler Says Sentiment
Favors Cutting Down to
That Number.

NEW YORK. January 14.-Barney
Dreyfuss. president of the Pittsburgh
club, and Mai. Branch Hickey. presi-
dent of the ST. Louis club, were the
first of the major league men from
out of town to get here yesterday for
the weeks doings
John Heydler, president of the Ma
tional League, said that the prevailing
sentiment in his league favored an
eighteen player limit. This would be
the smallest limit in years, three less
than the twenty-one limit recently de-
cided on by the American League. All
player limits were done away with
last year, but in 1917 the National
League limit was twenty-five.
Our clubs have decided they cannot
spend more than the business can
endure" said Heydler. They have
counted costs pretty we'll for next sea-
son. Hotel bills and travelling ex-
penses will be higher than ever be-
fore and there are big war taxes to
be met. There must be a cutting of
somewhere to get down to q business
basis
Heydler said tho question Of salaries
was taken up at the last meeting, but
that no salary limit was decided on.
The sentiment, however. was that the
salaries in recent years had been out
of proportion to the receipts.

Hermann. on leaving Cincinnati last
night for the joint meeting of the two
major leagues here on Thursday. was
quoted as saying that he did not care

is committed to the policy of either a
one-man commission or Of a three
men commission. with q chairman in
no way associated with any club or
any league.
In choosing between the two, IL
choice there was, he has decided in
favor OF sticking to the Cincinnati
Reds.

minor MAGNATES

Want Relief From Draft Reg

NEW YORK. January IA meet
ing of the new International League
officials and another of the National
Association of Professional Base Ball
Leagues. at which the question of OBJ
tanning for the minor leagues relief
from the present draft regulations
was considered, ushered in here today
the most important week of base ball
conferences held in many years. Some
minor league officials intimated that
unless demands of the minors were
granted they would break with the
major organizations.

maintained, was unfair in that when

PHILADELPHIA. January 14.-Wil-
lie Hoppe won both the afternoon and
evening contests with George Sutton

noon he ran 400 points in six innings
while Sutton was compiling 90 points.
In the evening the game went four
teen innings and Hoppe scored 300
points to Sutton's 241.
The exhibition attracted a large
crowd at both sessions. and there was
great applause for both players. At
the matinee Hoppe was merciless. He
clicked of 24e points in the first three
innings and Sutton didn't have a
chance to get going. The evening
performance found Sutton in much
better form. He got away to a much
better start, leading Willie in the first
inning. The scoring was fairly even
for the first six innings. Sutton made
a high run of 119 in his fifth inning
that put him in the lead. but Hoppe
came right back in the next session
with count of 100. and then by con-
sistent play ran out the string. After
making his high run Sutton fell of in
his scoring and Jagged behind.

BAHBALLONTHE INSIDE
WITH BILLY EVANS
Being His Opinions on Interesting Features and
SideEghts of the National Game.
WITH BILLY EVANS

Larry Lajoie is through with base
ball. The king" closed his major
league career several years ago. Last
season he was with Indianapolis. in the
American Association, as manager and
player. The other day Larry let it be
known that he is through with the
minors, as we'll as the majors. Larry
says that possibly he may play with
the semi professionals, but l rather
hope he decides not to do SO. 1t would
seem tragic to read of some sand lot
pitcher striking out a couple of times
in a game Larry Lajoie, name that
to you has always been the last word
in the art of hitting. Such a thing is
liable to happen 1T any time, for base
ball is no respecter of persons or
reputation.
The passing of Larry La joie from
the majors was a distinct loss to the
American League. His passing from
the minors is even greater loss to
base ball as a pastime. The name of
Lajoie has for years been a by-word
in base ball. ! seriously doubt if any
player in the history of the game was
more universally popular. He was
drawing card, if there ever was one
in base ball. Fans the country over
1ocked to the ball park to see the big
Frenchman make impossible plays for
the ordinary player look easy and to
see him step up to the plate with
confidence that was sublime. Two
strikes didn't worry Lajoie. AS rule
he spotted the pitcher the first one.
Pitchers knew he seldom hit the first
one. and they always tried to get it
over. Larry never paid any attention
to the first two strikes that were call
ed by the umpire; he always figured
he needed only one. 1 often heard
him say he didn't care where the first
two strikes were, just SO long as the
umpire didn't call him out on a bad
third strike, He always liked to have
at least one cut at the ball.
In Boston, New York or wherever
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-01-14

the Cleveland club appeared, because
Larry saw his best days in a CleVe-
land uniform. he was always received
as conquering hero. AS matter OF
fact l believe Larry was more popular
in Boston than he ever was in Cleve-
land. and that is saying a great deal.
because Larry was much beloved in
his home town. No better tribute to
"a players popularity can be offered
than the attitude assumed by his fell
low players. Larry was extremely
popular with all players, veterans and
youngsters alike. To try to enumer-
ate the many wonderful plays Larry
made in the field and to record
achievements at the bat would fill
many volumes Suffice it to say that
no more graceful fielder ever han
died a grounder, that no more pro-
ficient batsman ever stepped into the
batter's box. Lajoie's handling of
thrown balls was equally wonderful.
AS long as l live l will recall plays in
which l have seen Larry take a high
or wide throw with his goved hand,
and with the same motion somehow
put it on the runner
I shall always regard it as a great
pleasure to have been identified with
base ball during the days of Lajoie.
He was not only ball player but
gentleman. On the base ball field my
relations have always been most
pleasant with him. Only once did I
ever think of putting him out of the
game. That was in ST. Louis about
ten years ago. Terry Turner had miss
ed touching some one at third and I
had called the runner safe. Just as /
was calling him safe a glove skated
along the ground. 1 had decided the
wearer could take 1t to the clubhouse.
Looking up / saw Larry. sore. but
smiling, and before I could speak my
piece, he stopped me with. The deci-
sion was right, Terry missed him a
foot. Throw me my glove" I threw
him his glove, and didn't put him out
of the game. If he meant that glove
for me, he deserved to get away with
it for his quick thinking.
Goodbye, Larry, everybody is sorry
to see Npu go.
