COAST LEAGUE TO
BE IT j|
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6—The
proposition of making the Pacific
Coast league a California outfit from;
crown to bootstrap, with four clubs'
instead of six, will be one of the
items to come before the annual meet.'
ing of the league’s directors in Los
Angeles on December 17. There will
be several other interesting numbers
on the program for the meeting, one
one of the principal ones being a pro-J
postion to further decrease salary^
limits in order that the clubs may
be guaranteed a margin when the
last bat is tucked in the locker.
Another item will be the proposal
to shorten the league season by at
least two weeks, which would bring
the campaign to an end about the
middle of next October. The claim
is made that interest in baseball lags
after the world scries, and that min-J
ors conduct their seasons after that
period only at a great financial sacri-'
fice.
The outstanding proposition, of
cnurse is the dyed-in-the-wool Cali- j
fornia league. Portland appears to
be definitely out on account of trans
portation expenses. This argument
also applies to Salt Lake and beside,
the wiseacres say, Sacramento is
about ready to purchase its former
interest in the Salt Lake franchise.
This would leave San Francisco, Oak
I
land, Sacramento and Los Angeles i
i
is the clubs with Vernon forced out
3n account of its position as a fifth
club.
