BAR MID-SEASON
PLAYER CHANGES

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-In prohibiting
trades or sales of players after July
the American league has taken step
that will do much toward restoring the
sporting spirit in baseball. This was
the belief expressed in local baseball
circles today in conjunction with the
opinion that the National league made
mistake by refusing to adopt a like
rule.
The new American league rule viii put
a stop to indiscriminate bidding fO1l
players in the middle Of red-hot pennant
races 1t will do away with the practice
of tampering with players and Will pre-
vent players with second division clubs
from becoming so easily dissatisfied. It
Will also prevent another such battle in
American league circles as the one over
Carl Mays. "A battle that shook the league
to its foundation. American leaguers
hereafter will have TO struggle along on
their merits after the first Of July and
money bags will not count in the pen
nant race.
