Copyright. 1922, by The Argus)
New York, N. T., Dec. 2.-Agita-
ton to restrict the number Of
players major league clubs may
carry between May is and Aug. 81
now is afoot
Under present regulations they
may carry Is players. Clubs in
the smaller cities are behind this
movement At present ball play
ers cannot be sold by q club Of one
league to a club Of the same
league after a certain date. The
smaller cities desire to move that
date up nearer the start of the sea-
son. They suggest there would be
more players to go around and ex-
penses of the club would not be as
great If the majors would cut their
player lists to 20 or even less.
The clubs with the smaller popu-
lations to cater to and facing the
possibilities of smaller crowds in
their stands have always shouted
for a lower player limit. They have
always been out-voted because
those opposed to them argued that
they did not have to engage Is play
ers il they did not want to do so.
Pop Arson repeatedly said that
major league clubs were hampered
by double the number OF players
really necessary. He always said
the clubs got less good baseball for
that reason. Ineffectiveness OF
pitchers he contended was due to
the fact that they did not get
enough work rather than to over
work. ii
Asked to name a club of world
heaters for all time based on the
theory that but few men really
were needed, he listed Ewing and
Mike Kelly as catchers, Clarkson,
Mccormick and Rusie as pitchers,
Fred Pfeffer, second base; Ad Will
hanson, third; Ross Barnes, short
stop, and himself at first with Hugh
Duffy in leftfield; George Gore in
center and Jimmy Ryan in right
AS a concession he added that he
might include Ed Delehanty as a
utility player. Imagine Deiehanty
as a utility man with all the speed
he possessed. Yet in the team An
son named Delehanty might have
had difficulty in finding a place ex-
cept in the utility role.
The same arguments advanced
by Arson now are being used by
those who would reduce expenses
of the major league clubs If they
could Fewer players for the ma,
jors naturally would please the
minors. but there is no ogerwhelm.
ing desire to lend helping hand
to the minors in view of the fact
that they will not accept the draft
which would mean reduced prices
for players for the major league
clubs.

The plan for raising the neces-

against letting the progame die out

Some radical innovations in the
handling Of pro football here In
the future are necessary. The un.

SOMEBODY SAVES
MONEY IN GOTHAM

New York.-The popular idea
that the term New Yorker" is
synonymous with prodigality in
expenditures for unimportant
things, extravaganza in dress and
style of living and outlay for
bright, light amusements, is re-
futed by some significant figures
just Compiled by the Merchants
association.
On July 1. 1922. the savings
banks OF New York held on deposit
81. O69. 77s,S24.S5, representing &C.
counts of 1,6S0,625 depositors or
more than one out Of every four
of the entire population.
"These figures" said the state
ment "are as significant relatively
as positively. They prove that the
habit of thrift among the wage
earners in the city has grown enor-
;; mously during the last twenty-five
years. .r.
In 1897 the books Of the New
York savings banks showed depos-
its of a total of $500 ,907 ,247.75. The
actual deposits in that period have
therefore multiplied almost four
times. Within the same period the
number Of depositors has increased
from 1,222,366 to the total as ,indi-
Gated above. 1t is true that the
increase in numbers Of accounts il
