By WHITNEY MARTIN

for themselves in publicity, il not
in actual gate receipts from ex-
hibitions negligible, the clubs get
comparatively little benefit and
even the managers don't know
much more about the players when
the season starts than when thew
reported.
The lower classification leagues
can't afford the luxury of spring
training, but they seem to get
along all right. The athletes are
just plunked down in a town one
day and bingo, start their sched-
ule the next day.
we know the majors will figure
out some way to meet the ODT
request, but personally we'd like
to see them sacrifice in some 9TH
er way rather than eliminate the
World Series.
Inc World Series is the apple
pie to top off the season. II base
pal! is permitted to continue it
is because it is deemed a good
tmng for the public at large, and
LOT the Servicemen. And if t h e
service men are interested in Ma
]or League baseball, what phase
OF 1t arouses the most interest?
The World Series, of course.
we rather see them lop a cou-
pie OF weeks off the season than
eliminate the series. The elimina.
ton OF the all-star game won't
bring out any crying towels, as
after all that's more on the fly-by
night order, a flash. Purely ar
exhibition without meaning.
Considering that is clubs will be
travelling off and on tor better
than five months, it would no
seem to make much difference i
two clubs made one trip at the enc
OF that time. Or one club mad,
one trip. They could flip for i
and play all the games in on

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-(P)-The
ODT hasn't got around to asking
the Major Leagues to play their
games by mail, or arranging all
home games, but it is creeping
up on the idea, with the latest
suggestion that the clubs u t
their travel Is per cent.
Not that there is anything
against this request, since If such
a saving is necessary for the COM

all, and we can confidently expect
similar restrictions against banks,
ice shows and other forms OF port
able entertainment unless there is
a distinction made between base.

ment.
The simplest way for the ball
clubs to live up to the letter OF
the request would be to slash Is
per cent of the players from their
rosters, although the difficulty in
getting one-fourth of Is players is
apparent. They should have quar-.
terbacks to make it come out
even.
Anyway, a cut of .one-fourth in
the rosters, thus eliminating one.

too far fetched. 1t would leave,

leagues get along on a 15-plave,

every day without the benefit
of supernumeraries to relieve
them when they have the sniffles
