Mauy Important Issues. Slashing .the player limit to eighteen men, devising a plan to col- lect the Federal war tax, limiting the training season to two or possibly | three weeks, and the possible short- ! i ening of the schedules will be among | the important questions for conside:a- tion. “‘Baseball faces a critical situa:ion,” Herrmann said, “and a joint meeting will produce the desired results. The only thing to do is to put the cards on the table and settle every question confronting the two leagues. “The club owners in both organizn- tlons have different views to exprees and former football star of the Uni- ' | in regard to the player limit, the | schedule and other issues, and a joint i sesslon will, I think, iron everything i out 'satisfactorily. We must, have i unity of operation if baseball is to ! survive.” ! Collecting the 10 per cent war tax, | which the baseball public will. be | obliged to pay, is one of the big prob- lems confronting the two' leagues. Chairman Herrman estimated that the ' sport would contribute approximate- 1y $500,000 to the war cause next se~- son. Herrmann For Player. President Johnson, basing his fig- ures on the attendance at Cleveland last season, said that each club in the i American League will turn over about $30,000 to the government in taxes | The Cleveland club finished second to | the championship Chicago club in ths point of attendance and its receipts were close to $350,000. Mr. Herrmann said that he would recommend a player limit of eighteen men, but that he would oppose a 140- game schedule.

G. A. May Show Patriotism by Liiting Ban New York, Dec. 5.—Report has it that Francis Ouimet, the well known golfer, may shortly be reinstated to"“ full amateur standing by the United States Golf assoclation. Now that the former national amateur and open champion is serving his country, there is a feeling that the parent or- ganization could, without loss of pres- tige or dignity, restore Ouimet’s orig- inal status. It would, in the opinion of many, be a fitting recognition for devotion to his country. The report also has it that the ass soclation is likely to receive an &ap- plication for reinstatement from theé ‘Woodland golfer. There’s a para- graph in Section 7 of the by-laws which reads: “Any person who becomes ineligible by reason of this by-law may be re- instated by giving to the executive committee of this assocation satisfac- tory evidence of meriting such rein- statement.” The committee, i is understood, has he-n and still feels, most Kind-~ 1y disposed toward Ouimet. It is also o mmoughly patriotic body as is shown by its' policy of frowning on championship tournaments during the past season. It is said Ouimet in making bhis application for reinstatement will out- line a future policy that will enable the association to reverse its decision in his case. / SCHEDULE ARRANGED Physical Director Moorhead OCom- pletes List of Games for New Britain High School Basketbell Quintet.
