NBW YORK, Sept. 4. — Further ef
fects of the war on baseball, par
' Ocularly the minor league circuits, Ip
shown in the latest issue of a semi
official organ of the professional
game. The records indicate that nine
leagues, consisting of more than fifty
clubs, have disbanded since the open
ing of the present season; that eight
others have been forced to revise their
playing schedule, while several nioro
have either droppod clubs or shifted
them to cities or towns which prom
ised better support. All these changes
occurred during the first half of the
season, however, and it appears that
those organizations which have read
justed to meet or passed the crisis
will continue until the close of their
regulnr playing schedule.
Further analysed, the reports show
that Three-I (iHnois-iowa-Indianu),
Northwestern, South Atlantic, Vir
ginia, Central Texas. Doxie, Georgia
Alabama, North Carolina and North
ern leagues all abandoned the idea of
playing out the schedule season.
Among those circuits which revised
their schedules were the American
and International leagues, due to the
cancellation of the proposed inter
league series; Western. Bastern, Now
York State, Texas, Central and Blue
Ridge leagues. In several cases ttie
revision of schedules was made neces
sary through the dropping of one or
two clubs.
The secretary of the National Asso
ciation of Professional Baseball
leagues has called to the attention all
members of that organization the re
quirement that the secretary of each
league entitled to the privilege of re
servation. shall on or before October
1, 1917, transmit to his office a reserve
list of players under contract with
each of its several club members lor
the current season, in addition there
to the secretaries must send a list of
the players reserved In any prior an
nual reserve list who have refused
to contract with such club, as well as
of all ineligible players. No player par
chased or drafted is to be Included
in the reserve list of the club selling
him or losing his services by draft.
In no case is the list of reserved play
ers to exceed the player limit for each
classification.
Class A A clubs shall not have moie
than thirty players under contract or !
reservation at any time; Class A clubs |
not more than twenty-eight; Class »
twenty-s/x; Class C twenty four and
Class I) twenty-two players. No club
shall carry more than five suspended
players on its reserve list and urn- j
pires are subject to reservation in the j
same manner as players. The major j
league drafting season opens Septem
ber 20, that of A A class September 27;
Class O October 4; Class II October [
10; Class C October 17, and continuing
for five days after these dates named
for the minor leagues.
The drafting prices which major
leagues shall pay are as follows;
Class AA players $2,500; Class A $1,
500; Class B $1,200; Class C $750, and
Class D $500, All sales to major
leagues must be made within twenty
days prior to the close of the league
season.
The decision to confine the early
round play in the National Patriotic
Lawn Tennis Singles Tournament to
the best two out of three sets calls
attention to the fact that the U. S.
N. L. T. A. rules do not. at the presont
time, specify the number of sets which
shall be played in a championship
tournament match. One of the regu
lations calls for a rest at the '•lose
of the third set, Indicating that the
code makers had in mind a match of
more than three sets where all were
not won by the same player.

The three out of five regulation Is
generally adopted In the various state
and sectional tournaments nnt| I(, t(lR
standard In the International Davis
cup play. It Is likely that the Na
tional Association will draft a definite
rule upon this point at tht? next an
nual meeting.
In the moantlme--g lively con.
troversy Is developing among tennis
players as to the proper length of
championship tnati lies one gr0up
holds to the view tligt three sots la
sufficient to decide the playing skill
'of opponents, while the other contends
that endurance nnd physical condition
must be given some consideration In
view of tlie fact the pertain players
are notoriously slow starters and do
not roach the height of their latwer
and racquet skill until the second or I
even the third set.
