NEW YORK, Feb. 15,-Only IA
of the 81 minor baseball leagues
that started the 1892 season remain
in the picture for the coming sea-
son and at least five of the survi-
vors are in the doubtful class.
Attributing their reasons to vari-
Gus specific conditions. but with
the war as the underlying cause,
a trio of circuits voted to suspend
operations for the duration yester-
day. In addition. the Texas League
couldn't make up its mind and de-
cided to wait until February "a for
a definite verdict.
Three-Eye Loop Suspends.
At Minneapolis the club owners
of the Glass c Northern League
first debated cutting to eight clubs
before deciding to drop out alto
gether. At Pocatello, Idaho, despite
a fat sinking fund. the Pioneer
agreed to disband for the duration.
1t also is Class C loop.

and one of the Nations Oldest
reached the same conclusion at
Chicago. Johnny Mostil, manager
of the Waterloo, Iowa, entry, ex-
planned afterward that Il had II
players on my roster at the end of
the 1912 season, now I have only
two"
Along with the Texas League, the
Canadian American circuit ran into
a snag over the week end and could
not reach a definite decision. Feb
ruary % was set as the date for
another meeting.
Five of the II circuits which have
suspended since the start of the
1912 season failed to finish the cam
paigns of last year. During the
winter II others decided they were
not strong enough to battle the
shortage Of talent, travel handi-
caps and the rationing of gasoline.
Only One Finished in 1918.
Baseball men have predicted all
along that at least 10 minor leagues
would start the 1943 program unless
the sport is wiped out by Gov
ernment edict. In 1918, during
World War I. only the Interna-
tional League of all the minors was
able TO complete its schedule.
The various club owners in the
suspended leagues have until Feb
raary Is to dispose of their players
by selling them and placing their
names on the retired Or service
lists to avoid having them declared
free agents.
