Mats Get HurIer Still in Navy
AS Majors Draft Only Nine

There won't be many new faces in
baseball's major leagues in 1916.
Many players in service will be back
and so will most of the 1945 cast, but
the rookie crop appears slim.
Seven of the 16 major league

and plucked out only nine men, the

leaguers on their bill of sale of $500
each.
The other seven minor leagues, in

$62 500 by seven clubs for the nine
