MAJORS GROOMING
BOX OFFICE BLUES
Expense Slash Big Business
Before Annual Meetings
in New York.

BY the Associated Press.
n IEW YORK, December 10-Major
M league base ball magnates, most
v Of them singing the BOX Office
Blues" will gather in New York
City next week to ponder what they can
do as body to cut down expenses,
strengthen weak clubs and bring the
customers back to the parks.
The National League will open the
three day session with its annual
meeting Tuesday the American League
will meet the next day and the joint
session of the two bodies will be held
Thursday.
Except for few clubs, such as the
New York Yankees, Boston Braves,
Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Cubs,
base ball did not do so well at the gate
in 1882 and further economies must be
made for the coming season.
President John A. Hydler of the Ma
tional circuit, said today he knew Of
only two definite suggestions for cur
tailment in 1888. One of these would
include non-playing coaches in the
limit Of % men allowed each team,
while the other would make the 23-
player limit effective May IS, instead
of June Is, thus saving months sal
ary on several players.
4 MONG other suggestions from club
"A owners, as expressed in interviews.
are to trim salaries further,
shorten the training season, ban radio,
encourage field days and special days,
and trade players to give fans new
faces to watch and new deeds to cheer.
The question of reduction OF salaries
holds much dynamite, many of the
magnates feel, as the players took cuts
right down the line from Babe Ruth
to the bat boy last year and any effort
to reduce salaries further may bring
on a wholesale hold-out war. 1t ap-
pears probable each owner Will be left
to settle that problem as he sees fit.
One suggestion that is almost sure to
season. The magnateS are almost In
complete accord on that point, but there
Is wide divergence Of opinion on the
others.
Preliminary rumblings from Colum-
bus while the minors were in session
indicate the possibility of brisk trad
ing session during the week. Nearly
every club in the majors is looking for
new talent for next year and it would
not be surprising to see several deals
put through. The Giants, especially,
rebuilding under Manager Bill Terry,
are reported ready to trade any player
on the roster If they can get what they
want in return.

The collapse of some of the minor

not trained In base ball.
It takes a base ball man these
times to get anything out Of IT," he
said.
