SCHEME OF GARRY HERRMANN

Chairman of National Baseball Commission Would Reduce Expenses of Big League Clubs. Garry Hermann, president of the Reds, and chairman of the National Baseball commission, believes the time has come for the money men in baseball to watch their step. Herrmann predicted the other day that big league baseball clubs, with one or two exceptions, cannot continue paying present high salaries to

players, and that many long-term contract holders face the alternative of accepting reduced salaries, or seeing their club reach the position where it cannot pay its salary obligations. Herrmann said he favored cutting down club rosters wherever possible, and creating a “reserve list" of players to be drawn upon by the owners or managers whenever it might become necessary to fill vacancies caused by sickness, injury or release.
