(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Nov. 19—All
baseball magnates, players and
followers of the game in gen
eral, are almost unanimous in
♦expression of the opinion that
the coming winter months will
witness important changes in
the methods and arrangements
governing the professional end
of the spoTt. It appears certain
that part of the mass of sug
gested and proposed radical
changes will occur relative to
the conduct of the business
end of the game during the
duration of the war at least.
Both major and minor lea
gue magnates will discuss and
consider numerous suggestions
looking toward improvement
of conditions existing at the
present time during the com
ing annual meetings. While no
hasty action will be taken it is
considered likely that several
innovations both combination
and conduct of the sport wi'
he adopted before the season
of 1918 is reached. Owing to
the difference of opinion on
these points among the various
club owners, it is difficult to
name the proposals which may
eventually be enacted in base
ball law but there lias been no
dearth of those both from of
ficial and unofficial sources.
Among the plans advanced
are the following; shorter sea
son and schedule in the major
leagues, coupled with a sugges
tion to start the world’s ser
ies several weeks earlier than
has been the case in recent
years; curtailment of the num
ber of players now admitted
to each club and a reduction of
* -—^__ • •• —
| the present salaries; the shift*
1 ing of one or more club franch
ises to new and more profit
able fields of patronage; the
long and expensive southern
training trips; rearrangement
of schedules with the idea of
reducing the large annual bill
for transportation; re-adjust
meat or combination of minor
league circuits in order to pro
vide more attractive and more
lucrative play.
It is exceedingly doubtful
if all of these suggestions are
adopted but it is equally cer
tain that some will find their
way into the codes or agree
ments of the league since those
in charge realize that baseball
like all other sports, is con- j
fronted with conditions that
are far from normal. An exam
ple of these conditions can bo
cited in the draft problem con
fronting the baseball magnates
at this time. A number of ma
jor and minor league players
will probably be lost to the
game in this manner before the|
spring practice begins and the
places must be filled. It is ex
pected that the big league
clubs will draw upon the min
ors for war time substitutes
j and if this is done both the
I quality and quantity of play
may decrease to a certain ex
tent. Viewed from any angle
the position of the baseball
j magnate cannot be compared
to the proverbial be 1 of roses.
The proposal of a stage foot
j ball game between the elev
ens of the University of Chica
go and the University of
Michigan for the benefit of the
Red Cross may result in the
revival of one of the most im
I portant of the Middle West
ern gridiron classics. These
twro institutions first met in
football in 1892 and since that j
date have played fourteen
games, of which Michigan hasj
won nine and Chicago five.
The ’Wolverines lead in points
with a totai of 199 to Chica
go’s 102. Michigan has held
the Maroon elevens scoreless |
four times while Chicago shut
out the Arm Arbor university
but once and this was in the
famous and final game be
tween these universities played
in 1902 when Chicago forced
Michigan to make a safety;
the only score of the contest.
Michigan’s greatest string of
victories was won between
1901 and 1904 when the Yost
Warriors took four games in
a row.
