Omitted Press Sports Edition.
New York, August 19.-Baseball is
rather generally aroused over the
strange hold that money is getting on
the major league sport.
Pennant buying ought to be stopped
AS long as there are piles of coin in the
New York offices as long as there
are club owners of the Frazee type,
the only wav to stop it is through
legal channels.
If legislation against mid-season
selling isn't enacted this winter, the
poorer club owners will have no COM
plant coming next year as they should
have thirteen out OF sixteen votes to
put through what they might decide
to be the proper remedy.

Considering the fact that money is
not new born menace of baseball and
that it should have been nipped in its
infancy, the doubt arises that the club
owners are sincere in their loud voiced
protests. One can't help but get the
idea that they don't want to lose the
chance to make big sales.
Those of the club owners who have
nothing to market this season can't
be sure that they will not have play
er to bring down big coin on the block
next year.
Most of the big league managers
favor an amendment to the present
rule moving The time limit for sales
