DENTIST DR.E. J. JONES TO RETAIN LARGE PLAYER LIMIT Spring Training Trips Are to be Continued—Federal Leagues’ Backers Are Still Unpaid—Joint Meeting be Held. Chicago, Dec. 13.—Retention of the twenty-five player lLimit and contin- uation of the usual spring training trips was dectded upon at the closing session of the Amcrican League meeting tonight. The club owners cleared up these points in preparation for ,the joint meeting with the Na- tional Leaguers here tomorrow. S ized, the important ques- tions to be considered by the sixteen club owhers of the two leagues are: The advisability of reducing the playing schedule to 140 games. The advisability of a 154-game schedule -running only 5 1-2 months. Devising a method to collect the federal war tax. Settlement of the financial obliga- tions resulting from the Federal League war. Suggestion of a new division of the world series receipts. Inserting a war clause in the play- ers’ contracts to protect the club own- er in the event the player is called into the national army. President Johnson’s announcement that the $110,000 fund agreed upon to reimburse backers of Federal League clubs still remained unpaid caused a surprise. He spid that the American League was ready to pay its share— $55,000—at once, but that the entire issue would have to be settled by the-| club owners of the two leagues to- morrow. It was revealed that Ed- ward Gwinner, who lost heavily in backing the Pittsburgh club of ths Federal League, is to receive $50,000 of the fund, and.the balance is to be divided between Harry Sinclair, who financed the Newark club, and the Ward estate of New York, which supported the Brooklyn Federals. The suggestion advanced by the Na- tional League that a new devision of the world’s series receipts be made did not gain favor with the American League club owners.

This marks the beginning of a comprehensive plan for the care of soldiers who are disabled in the line of duty. It will be used only for distribution. . From Staten Island institution men will be transferred to genera 1 or special treatment hospitals, sites for which are no wbeing selected through- out the country. ‘Whenever possible injured soldiers will be sent places near their own homes.. They will be fitted for trades to which they are adapted, and at the time of discharge the Government will assist them in returning to their proper places in in- dustry. Injured War Has Demanded Men With Know- ledge of Wireless Ttlegraphy. Many young men who a few months ago were picking up fugitive wireless messages on rudely constructed ama- teur instruments in thtir homes are now serving at important radio posts on sea and ashore. The war has re- vealed what a large number of young men were interested in radio experi- mentation and service. A school for men enlisted in the radio service was opened at Harvard University, where 2000. men are training, 400 graduating for duty each month. s In addition to the war work rou- tine peace services are continued. in- cluding storm signals and weather re- ports and floatifg wrecks, buoys out of position, ictbergs, and other ob- structions to na\'fgatmn.

Since the opening of the war the ex- 1 pansion of the.personnel in training in the radio service has been more than 1000 per cent. high- Cantonmnt Camp Hospitals Badly in Need of Trained Nurses. The outbreaks of measles at the can- tonments, followed by the" resultant complications. including pneumonia, have increased the need for additionai trained nurses at the hospitals est: lished in connection with the camps. At least 500 trained nurses are want- ed at once. After a recent inspection trip to one of the camps with a high sick rate the Surgeon General reported there had been 3,000 cases of measles. At the time of his visit there were 300 cases of pneumonia in the hospital. The height of the measles epidemic is over, but pneumonia does mnot re- velop for some time after the incidence of the measles, so a considerable num- ber of cases of pmeumonia may be expected. The pay of nurses is $50 a2 month and maintenance. Application should be made .to the superintendent, Army Nurse, Mills Building. Washinston, D. Girl messengers are now employed by many of the Government depart- ments at Washington. * Alterations are béing made which will double the seating capacity of the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
