There will be less wear and tear be- cause the magnates, at the annua! joint meeting of the American and National Leagues Thursday, voted to reduce the player limit from 25 to 23 players, trimming the list of bench ‘warmers. The decision was made partly as an economy measure, and partly to give the weaker clubs a chance to use ca- pable ball players who, as members of stronger teams, might see little ac- tion, The salary cut was not speci- fied, but the general opinion was that ‘wages would be trimmed 10 per cent. This would save each club about $10,- 000 annually. The resolution provid- ing for reductions of salaries was brief, reading: “Resolved that by reason of ptevail- ing conditions and the decrease in attendance at our games, it becomes necessary that the general operating expenses, including salary lists of ball players of both major leagues, be sub- HIS DAFFY HITCH-HIKER'S THUMB AND “HEN THINKING I'D INVEST #3q0.

The two service academies meet not as regular season rivals but in an extra-added feature on the common time in as many years the receipts will go to the fund for the unemployed. Pre-game estimates indicate a ‘crowd of 80,000 in the Yankee stadium ‘and receipts in excess of £400,000. Although the athletic “break” be- tween the two schools is just as wide now ‘as it was in December, 1927, when the Army declined to adopt the three-year eligibility rule at the Navy's demand, the fact remains they are natural rivals meeting in a game ‘which both are primed to win. Army’s record is by far the more impressive but most experts figure the Cadets “pointed” for the Notre Dame game which they wort, 12-0, and per-j| haps have lost that fine edge that made them look so impressive against the Ramblers. Navy, on the other hand, has ad- vanced slowly toward the peak of condition. ‘Weather prospects were for rain ‘Friday night making it almost certain | the game would be played on a slip- pery field.

The little school from the Moraga Valley, near San Francisco, has an en- rollment of only 700 students, but it produced an eleven that helped at- tract approximately 400,000 spectators during a ten game schedule.

Boxing Tourney Gets Under Way Thirty-Four Light Heavyweights Aspire to Rosenbloom’s Crown Chicago, Dec. 11—(#)—The busi- ness of sifting a light heavyweight boxing champion from a batch of 34 aspirants, will begin Friday night at the Chicago stadium in the opening round of the National Boxing associa- tion’s elimination tournament. The tournament became necessary, as far as the N. B. A. was concerned, when Maxie Rosenbloom of New York failed to defend the title during the time limit prescribed by the associa- tion. Forty-four 175-pounders signed up, and after those who were not deemed capable and those who had failed to post forfeits were culled out, 34 remained. Ten of the 34 will go into the hop- per Friday night, providing five bouts at eight rounds. An unusual feature of tonight's card is that there will be five winners., Major General John V. Clinnin, chairman of the Illinois state athletic commission and president of the N. B. A. has decreed that there will be no draw decisions. ° The ten who go into action tonight St. Mary’s, under the coaching of Slip Madigan, has displayed a faculty for producing colorful gridiron per-. formers. Larry Bettencourt was one of the best centers ever developed on the Pacific coast. Ike Frankain was an All-America end a few years ago. Fred Stennett finished a ous backfield career a year ago with the Gaels. When the team came east, metro- politan critics were agog over the bucking of Angel Brovelli, whose serk rushés defeated Fordham. ye ‘This skin all over the premises with a fine Jimmies Beaten In Opening Game. . of Cage eason ter. | North Dakota Outfit Drops Con: test to Northern Normal of Aberdeen disregard for anything or anybody in’). his way.

North Dakota will have Captain Vern Duchene, forward or guard; Lowe and Wexler, regular guards; Felber, regiilar center; Gillson, vet+ eran forward; and Webster, a center and forward, who made his letter last year.
