MANY CLUBS NEED
MORE YOUNGSTERS
National Circuit 0utstripS
American in Employing
New Talent.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, December 16.-
M In the season of 1891 in
base ball there will be less
tendency to retain veteran
players any length Of time If II
appears they do not possess
enough skill to be of decided ad-
vantage to the major league club
with which they may be con-
nected.
II they are released, it may be ar
outright release. There is little chance
that they Will be sent to minor league
clubs below Double-A. They will be
permitted to find employment for them
selves wherever they can. There VII
be chances for them to play with Dou-
ble-A if they wish to do so, because, al
the present moment the Dounle-A a
leagues seem to be those which viii
be most solicitous to find players.
The major leagues realize that at
least one-half of their teams have ar
rived at the point where they must be
bolstered by young players who are on
the upgrade. Several old-tine pitchers
have been carried who have had a GER
tain degree of effectiveness. They will
have to do a little better than that next
year.
ouinn's Release Example.
The Athletics showed what is in mind
when they permitted Jack Quinn to 60
He has pitched well for them, and he
pitched with q certain degree OF skill
In 1880. He can do as well under GER
tain conditions this coming season, put
his spitban has lost its terror 20 tne
batters. The breaking point came Wnen
the Cubs knocked him out Of the box
IN the world series Of 1929.
American League batterS were con-
adent the past season that If the Cubs
could force Quinn out OF game, SO
could they. He was batted harder In
1880 than he had been before, but he
fought determinedly, for ne IS per-
sistent pitcher.
If the Pacific Coast League permitted
spitball pitching, Quinn should DO wen
out there for time. II he went TO
the National League he might DO well.
f5nIt n he is enraged by a major league
club he VIII have to be at least $3.50
winner to hold his own.
Vets In American League.
The American League has expert
nented less with young players in the
past season than in previous years.
Once the difference between the two
major leagues rested in the Willingness
Of American League owners 20 engage
plenty Of high-class new talent every
year, against the conservatism Of the
National League, which retained old
players to the very end Of their skill.
Now it seems to be the other way.
The National League has had two
gplendid seasons in succession py max
in0 exDerimeuts when It thought 1t
worth while, and the American League
has tried to combine young and olos
giving mild preference to the old :.
II the major leagues cannot recruit
players from the double-A leagues, they
viii be more disposed, Of course, to
keep their rosters down and try out
side talent wherever they can pick 1t
up. That is another reason why vet
eran players who cannot keep the pace
will drop out.

CUBS FIRST-SACKER
SEEN IN OUTFIELDER
Barton, Bought From Baltimore,
Will Be Given Chance to
Play at Base.
Nv the Associated prAns

By. the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 16.-After
hunting all over the base ball land
scape for another first baseman, the
Cubs discovered they bought one from
Baltimore last Summer, although they
purchased him for an outfielder.
Vincent Barton, o 22-year-old pros
pect played in the outfield because Bal
timore had a capable FIRST baseman and
needed an outfielder. After the Cubs
failed to obtain Jim Bottomley from
the st. Louis Cardinals, Manager Rog-
ers Hornsby and President william L.
Veeck wondered If Barton might not be
converted into first sacker.
Investigation revealed that Barton
played all his base ball at the initial
corner until the Orioles moved him into
the outfeld. Hornsby says he viii be
given plenty of opportunity to prepare
himself to understudy Charlie Grimm
and George Kelly.
