Club Rosters
Are Disclosed
Player Shortage

Current Spring training rosters
show that the least of the Amer
lean Leagues worries this year
is player shortage.
Next month, 247 men - only
10 less than last season - will
report to Spring training camps
in the restricted wartime zones,

The st. Louis Browns squad
now numbers 36, whereas 35
were listed in 1912. The Detroit
Tigers have boosted their roster
to 80, largest in the league at
present and six more than they
carried last year.
The New York Yank s,
whose departure of stars has
left serious infield and outfield
problems, have only 27 players
on their Spring roster. one Of

BY the Associated Press

The Detroit Red Wings last
night lost an opportunity to
break their first place deadlock
with Boston in the National
Hockey League by dropping a
Al decision in hectic game at
Montreal.
The Canadiens, whom the vic
tory lifted within one point of
fourth place, never gave the
Wings much of a chance as they
went to work in the first pc
Rod with pair of goals by
Dutch Hitler and Toe Blake and
prevented the Wings from scor-
ing until the second chapter was
more than half over.
Then when the session was

parting shot for Detroit eight

SEC Appropriation
For 1913 Cut More
Than Is Per Cent
Decline in Financial
Activity Is Cited by
House Committee
BY the Associated Press.

The House Appropriations Com
mittee today voted a reduction Of
more than Is per cent in the 1914
appropriation for the Securities
Commission, attributing it's action
to reduced activity in the finan-
cial world"
The Budget Bureau had recon-
mended a total SEC appropriation
for the 1914 fiscal year of $4,798, 900,
or $4,000 below the $4,910,000
made available for the 1943 fiscal
year, but the committee called for
further reduction to $4,048, 900.
This amount was 1862 900 below
last year and $750O00 under the
budget proposal. The Budget Bureau
had called for a decrease in the SEC
salary appropriation Of from 1885,
600 in 1913 to ESQ 900 in 1914, but
the House Committee slashed the
amount an additional $750O00. A
$4,000 reduction proposed by the
budget for SEC printing was I'M
changed.
I'm recommending this reduction
the committee has taken into con-
sideration the reduced activity in
the financial world as indicated very
definitely In tables relating to loans,
exchange membership, the number
Of New York Stock Exchange tickers
and electric boards in operation,
the committee explained in q report
to the House.
THE committee believes that the
need for retrenchment in non-war
appropriations is further justifica-
ton for the reduction recon-
mended."
Representative Howell, Republican
OF Illinois introduced in the House
yesterday a bill suspending in
definitely the provision of the
Securities Commission Act which
compels utility holding company sys-
TENS to simplify their corporate
structures.
The provision which would be
nullif1ed Is known in financial circles
as the death sentence"
Technically, the measure would
lift the requirement that utilities.
at the discretion of the SEC. modify
their holding company structures in
accordance with the commission's
"simplifcation" orders.
