MAJOR LEAGUES
TO OPERATE ON
ECONOMY PLANS
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. II. U.P)-A rigid
economy program has been out
lined by the two major leagues for
the 1882 season.
The two most important measures
adopted by the two major leagues
in their joint session yesterday
which ended their three day annu-
al winter meeting follow:
l. Reduction of the player limit
of each club from 25 to %.
2. Adoption of a resolution for
substantial reduction" in ball play
ers salaries and general operating
expenses.
The reduction of the player limit
will save each club approximately
$4,000, each league 100000 and
both leagues 100000. Another ben
eft expected to be derived is that
1t will enable second division teams
to get players who will strengthen
the weaker clubs of both leagues.
The player limit goes into effect
June Is. Each club may continue
to option Is players.
The American League favored a
reduction Of the player limit to %.
But the National League won when
Commissioned K. NJ. Lands cast the
deciding vote for %.
One of the most important prob
lens facing the majors-the broad
casting of games-was taken at
great length and the definite trend
is toward prohibiting radio broad
casts in 1893. Action at the present
time was blocked when one club,
later found out to be the Chicago
Cubs. signed a contract for 1882
the night before the matter came
up for discussion.
OF the l6 major league club own
ers. it was understood that II are
definitely against broadcasting.
William L. Veeck, Cubs president
is the champion of those favoring
broadcasting. He believes radio has
gone q long way toward educating
the fans, particularly the women.
President William Harridge of
the American League intimated that
If radio became an issue with the
newspapers, he would recommend
broadcaSts be eliminated.
Newspaper publicity made base
ball." said Harridge.
1t developed at a meeting of the
Baseball Writer'S Association that
metropolitan newspapers believed
radio has curtailed the sale of base
ball extras. A survey will be made
in each city to determine what
action should be recommended to
the club owners before the next
meeting.

DAVID OUT FOR
REVENGE TONIGHT
AT BOXING ARENA

With a shot at Goldie Hess prom
ised the winner, tonight's battle at
the Imperial Valley Athletic club
between Young David and Victor
(Kid) Ponce, should give the fans
plenty of excitement.
David has the added incentive Of
a sound trouncing recently hv
Santiago Gorilla to stimulate lots
OF action tonight. The little Fill
pino is not intending to let Ponce
do to him what Gorilla did. 4,
Ponce is ring veteran, who was
at the top of the heap two years
ago and is still long way from
being through. He can hit and
step as we'll as he ever could, and
the records show that he can punch.
The David-Ponce scrap is one of
three good l0-rounders that Harry
Woodbury. has arranged for the eve
nings card.
In the second bout, Ramon
Montoya, the pride of Brawley, will
take on Kid Mack of Denver. Ra-
mon is another veteran and he has
returned to Brawley after several
years of successful campaigning on
the coast. Ramon started up north
quite a number of years ago and
he has met some Of the best men
in the game, his high spot being
decision over Kid Francis, the
European champion. Montoya is
popular with the fans for he has
given them a run for their money
every time he stepped into the ring.
even when he was just preliini-
nary boy in the old four-round days.
He has been successful financially
and has used his head as well as
his fists.
Mack is reputed to be quite
slugger and has had consistent sue
cess up in Denver. Just how he
will go down here, with heavy dif-
ference in altitude to consider, re-
mains to be seen.
In the opener, Kid Mcintyre, an
Irish Filipino, and Tony Sanchez, a
product OF old Mexico will swap
punches. Seeing an Irish-Filipino
is quite a novelty and If this one
inherits the fighting ability Of both
races he ought to be a wildcat.
The first bout will be called at
$50 and the usual low prices, with
free admission for ladies, will be in
force. The heated tent assures ali
fans of a comfortable time at the
bouts,

erybody now but James Joseph Tun-
ney and the delicatessen keeper
around the corner has come out
with the statement that James
Joseph Tunney plans to return to
the ring and knock off somebody
and half a million dollars.
Everybody but Mister Tunney and
Mister Lucas (the delicatessen keep
err has his own reasons for Tun-
ney's return to the racket which he
so highly ard nightly washed his
hands Of several years ago. These
reasons range from the sublime to
the ridiculous. One of the ridiculous
ones is that Tunney has trouble
sleeping when he thinks of anyone
but an American holding the heav-
weight title.
One of the sublime ones is that
Tunney, a wealthy man when he
retired, is not SO wealthy now and
can think of no easier way to re-.
coup his fortunes than get in there
for a couple of fights.
Being a frail creature and pos
sessed of a fine finish glass CHR,

to make money than standing out
in front of some bird who has evil
intentions on my chin. OF course.

about as good condition as he was

Dempsey. judging by the way he

means that any time during fight,

CORN FUTURES
DROP z CENTS
ON RAIN NEWS
Strong Cables Unable to
Hold Wheat Up: Oats
Move Down.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 20.-Corn prices
dropped between / cent and 2 cents
as the Board of Trade opened after
general rains over the weekend had
allayed fears of damage and
knocked the props out from under
the market. Selling was heavy at
the start and stop-loss orders were
picked up on the way down, fur
thering the decline.
Wheat eased fractionally with
corn, despite strength at Liverpool
Foreign cables we're firm but dull
on smaller shipments and a lack Of
pressure. Wheat found some sup
port on the decline here, but corn
had few friends.
Trade Very Slow
Oats slumped a major fraction
with corn but trade in both wheat
and oats pits was very slow.
at the opening wheat was I'M
changed to g cent lower, corn was
is cent to cents down and oats
Il cent to z cent of. Provisions
were slow and about steady.
Liverpool was unchanged to Z
cent higher, slightly better than
had been expected. Prices are SO
low that few traders are willing 70
press the short side and any change,
it is felt. must be on the upside.
Traders expect hedging pressure to
begin to decline this week as the
peak of the movement in the
southwest has been reached.
Stocks are Small
Stock in millers' hands and flour
reserves are small, another argu-
ment in favor OF an advance in
prices. Middlewest growers are
showing disposition to hold back
their wheat.
The corn belt got fairly wide
spread rains over the weekend
with moisture reaching many Sec
tons where urgently needed. But
with the critical stage in growth
at hand, steady rains will be needed
in plentitude. July continues to act
tight.
Reports from the oats region are
less favorable but the crop for the
most part is made. The smaller
crop and slower movement is not
aiding prices greatly and they are
around the lows of the year.
