IL Should ball players en-
gage in winter baseball, or
should they conserve their
energy for the long season,
particularly Coast league toss
ers, who have the longest
schedule of any performers
in the country?
This is a moot question
with Coast league owners,
most of them being opposed
to winter baseball. This OBJ
lection is directed chiefly
against the pitchers, who are
more subject to injury by
overpitching than the other
players are.
