The third game will be with Bucknell. Geor- gia and Bucknell are neweomers. Reports that Yale would meet McGill univerwity are not borne out by the schedule.

Heretofore, puch deals were possible up to August 1. Un- der the new regulation a team cannot increase its strength except by purchase from minor leagues after June 15. To offset this rule the clubs next sea- son will be perriitted to carry a roster of forty players, up to June 15, in place of May 15, and the additional month will enable them to experiment and_as- certain the value of younger players who heretofore have been shunted back to the minors unless they flashed sterliog form | during the first month of the pennant race. An effort to increase the maximum number of players from-forty to fifty was lost after the National league had voted in favor of it and the American against it, when Commissioner Landis voted in the negative. However, major league clubs hereafter will be permitted to have fifteen payers out under option for three years in place of two was de- teated. There was no discussion of the sus- gested return to nine games in place ot the present seven in the world serics and no agreement was reached betwe:n the two leagues to open upon the samo day next season. As the situation stands at present, the Nationaj is down to be- gin: the 1923 play on Tuesday, April 17, and the American league on Wednesday April 15. It appeared to be the general opinion. however, that when the. sched- ule committees meet in February this confusion of opening dates would be rec- tified.

MAJORS CLOSE MEETINGS AFTER DISCUSSING PLAYERS | New York, Dec. 14—Major league club owners closed their 1923 conferences to- day after establishing mew records for a maxtmum discussion of player deals and trades, and a minimum of actual propositions consummated. Three -deals involving acquisition of high'y touted minor league stars were the net results of practically continuous bartering ef- forts. No inter-league deals figured in the limelizht. Outstanding today was the intimation by officials of both New Yors and Chi- cago American league clubs that the deal bv which the Yankees sought to ac- quire Eddie Collins, star “second base. man of the white Sox, had practically fallen, through. It was learned definitely, however, that Dick Kerr, White Sox southpaw, who is under suspension for failure o report Iast -year and playing with ineligibles has been eliminated from any deal be- cause he must remain another year out- But Taylor, the highly touted Terre Haute bantam, who has been cominz alohg like a house afire of late, has been billed for two more bouts, Fri- ¥y night at Terre Haute he will meet Bill Mascott, while on the 22d at Chi- cago he will face Pal Moore for the American Legion.
