NEW SAVING RULE FORGES MANY MEN TO HUNT POSITIONS

Economy Plan Leaves No Place in O. B. for Plumbers, Hack Drivers and Tradesmen.

BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, Dec. 16. Now that the three big leagues have voted to adopt the euggeatlon we made about a month ago cut tho list of players clown to twenty or twentyone it begins to look as if a lot of plumbers, bookkeepers, hack drivers, shoemakers and other skilled tradesmen will have to go back to their old trades

and quit eating in expensive hotels and riding on Pullmaus. The new economy rule that will be put in force this year through the cutting of the routers of the Federal league to twenty men and the American and National leagues to twentyone men each, means that over four hundred ball players or alleged ball players will be heaved out of their soft jobs and will have to go back to manual labor. Each of the twentyfour big league clubs now Is carrying an average of forty men. "Cans" Thirty-one Players. The job of picking twenty-one men out. of the bunch that now clutters up the roster is a huge job for the managers. John McGraw, of the Giants, has the hardest job. John has fiftytwo players on his list. That means that he will have to "can" thirty-one players by May -. John hasn't seen half of his squad in action, and it will keep him busy during the training season looking 'em over. John, as many will remember, released Dick Rudolph, the great Boston pitcher. He also let go of Hank iowdy, star of the 1914 world's series. John also released some other gents who later made their mark in the base ball world. John has planned to give all Ins recruits a thorough try-out this year. Ke had planned to hang on to every player until he was convinced thoroughly that they were bushers and never would be anything else. Rule Upsets Leaders. P.ut the twenty-one player rule upsets John's plans and John, as well ns other managers, aren't sleeping well these nights. They fear that when they cut their list down to twenty-one they may keep some flash-in-the-plan players and may let some real diamonds In the rough go back to the woods. Reducing the player limit to twentyone means that the clubs each will save about $30,000 a year In salaries and traveling expenses. This saving will more than make up the extra wages the magnates have had to pay their Btars to keep them from Jumping to the Feds. It will mean that the clubs in 1915 will operate on a lower exxpenses basis than they did in 1913, before the Federal league became a menace. The reduction of the playing limit to twenty men will save the Feds $30,(00, also, and that means that many

President Ban Johnson, of the American League will leave at 6 o'clock tonight on a visit to French Lick to confer with Colonel Jacob Ruppert, Jr., relative to closing the deal which will make Ruppert owner of the stock 'now held by Frank Farrell and Bill Devery in the New York Yankees.

The Richmond Polo league last night accepted the proposition of the Coliseum directors for paying the players. All money accumulated -will be divided into four equal parts and turned over to the managers of the respective teams after each game. The Quigleys and Greeks -who furnish the first game tonight will lineup with new men on their roster the Pharmacists having Sam Jones who formerly played a star game on the Empires. Iky Haughton the old Richmond star on the former Western championship team will be on the rush line and Billy Stolle who formerly managed the Stolle team in the City league will probably be seen at half back. The Greeks will have one new man. The second game between the Smoke House and A. S. M. fives should be & corker as first place hangs in the balance. Both teams will be out there fighting their best. First game is called at 7:45 o'clock.

IS REASON ENOUGH, Most likely the reason for Harvard's refusal to give Michigan a game in 1915 is Johnny Maulbelsch. And that is a pretty good reason.
