Adoption OF the 1924 schedule. ap-
pointment OF the umpire staff by
President John A. Heydler, report
on the leagues golden jubilee in 1925
and a plan to select the most valu-
able player on each club will be
among other important matters be-
fore the meeting. The scheme for
selecting each clubs outstanding
star Is expected to be introduced by
Sam Breadon, president OF the st.
Louis Club. 1t is Il modification of the
plan proposed by the Baseball Writ
ers' Association to both major lea gues
several years ago to select the most
valuable player in each league. This
was accepted by the American
League, but tabled by the senior cir
cult which, it is believed, favors hav-
ing, the base ball writer's pick the
most valuable player on each of the
eight clubs. out of this selection,
according to Breadon, and as re-
suit OF the tabulated vote, the
leagues outstanding star might
emerge, but this would be secondary.
1t is proposed to give an appropriate
award TO the stars selected under this
plan.
The league may act to limit the
number OF coaches each team may
have. Under the changes made at
Chicago, men who act exclusively as
coaches, are not counted under the
player-limit rule.
Instructions to umpires to throw
fewer new balls into 1924 games. as
a curb on the liyeliness of the
sphere, probably will be announced
by President Heydler. 1T is pointed
out that in 1923 the league used
1856 balls, an increase of $3.50 over
1922.
Plans for the golden jubilee will be
reported by the special committee
composed by Christy Matthewson,
Boston; William Feeck, Chicago
Barney DreyfusS. Pittsburgh, and
CharleS H. Ebbets. Brooklyn.

Always Team Worker.
Harris is a fighter. but always has

world, too. Nothing short of d vic

willing to concede defeat.
Another gratifying thing about
Harris is that he likes Washington
and is more than willing to make his
home here. With the manager al
ways right on the scene, in season
structive work will be possible. With
him available for conferences at any
time all moves designed to strength
