(By Associated Press)
NKVV YORK, Dec. 31.—One of the
effects of the war Is the nerPsgity for
radical readjustment of the profess
ional baseball structure and of the
many proposed Innovations and cur
tailments suggested, the limitation of
each club roster to eighteen players
has aroused the greatest discussion.
Magnates In both of the major leagues
are sharply aligned In favor or opposl.
tion to this amendment to the rules
and it is likely that there will be
considerable controversy before the
matter Is adjusted. |
The proposal Is one which permits'
of much argument with plenty of facts
to support the contentions of the de
baters. For Instance It has been point
ed out that no club Is required, at the
present time, to carry the full limit
of players and might go through the
season with fifteen If It so desired.
Clubs favoring a maximum of eighteen
offer in rebuttal the statement that
certain organizations, financially cap
able of supporting a twenty-five play-'
er team, would under such condition s
have a decided advantage over the
club which £ould not afford, In war
times, to carry more than twenty
at the outside. From other unof
ficial sources comes the claim that
the reduttion is advocated by certain
clnbs, the pennant chance of which
would be greatly strengthened if oth- ~
er formidable opponents were forced
to cut down their playing staff to con
form with the proposed requirements I
The adoption of the rule would also
require, in all probability, a change in
the National agreement which at the
present time places a maximum limit
of twenty-five players upon the chibs
of the American and National leagues
during the greater portion of the play
ing season. This is further reduced
twenty two In the case or the Nation
nl league through a regulation In
force In the senior organization while
the American league holds to twenty
five.
One baseball authority brings out
the point that the cost of maintain
ing a big league has increased tre
mendously In the past twelve months
and is likely to advance still further
during the season of 1918. The chnrge
for hotel accommodations and me^ls,
both on the trains and while playing
In rival cities have reached figures
far beyond those existing in previous
years. The war tax alone on railroad
and Pullman reservations will add
something like eighteen per cent to
the transportation charges of traveling
teams.
That numerous pennants have been
won in past years by clubs with con
siderable less than the number of
players allowed at this time is shown
by a search of the records of the na
tional game. During the early seven
ties National league teams played
through the season without approach
ing the eighteen player total. The
’Irst of the American league clubs
ranged from seventeen to twenty.

What Is life without u sweater?
.lust like home without a mother- -the
next thing to impossible. Besides the
comfort of them sweaters are con
venient for the casual touch they lend
to the toilette, and they manage to
tone It up, or tone it down—depend
ing on the kind of swt-ater and the
manner of wearing lt.\ If one has
a busy day abend and begins it bv
dressing for the afternoon, the svveat
ercout conceals the fact. And a smart
Kweatercoat leuds character to the
plainest f morning or sports clothes.
Those who manufacture them have
turned out a variety of wonderful
sweaters and sweatercouts for women
and almost us interesting an assort
ment for men. Soft, knitted wool ap
pears to have outdistanced silk In the
met) for popularity, but silk Is never
theless well represented.
Two new mode's are shown in the
Illustration, one of them an example '
of the “slip-over" which made p* ,
trance last year to the glad acclaim j
of sports women, it is very elastic, |
loosely knitted and shaped to mold I
Itself to the Uguro. The ribbed waist-I
line forms a knltted-ln girdle and the
cuffs are ribbed, with a border of plain
stitches above them. Its crowning
glory appears In the sailor collar of
white angora yarn—a hit of strategy
on the part of the designer that makes
this garment immensely becoming.
The handsome sweatercoat shown at
the right is more ample and much
more loosely adjusted to the figure. It
is an especially good model for slim
figures because of the plaited skirt
portion and the shape of the collar
which widens the shoulders. The turn
back cuffs and girdle are knitted with
a narrow rib. but the collar is fash
ioned by knitting like that in the coat.
Quite a number of the latest sweaters
contribute this style feature of dissimi
<nr collars and cults, as a departure
from the regular order of tilings.
Colors bright and gay continue to be
the privilege of sweaters and sweater
coats. The coat pictured is in a gray
ish ldue and is fastened at the front |
with large white buttons.
