WORLD'S SERIES FOR NEXT YEAR

Latest Plan is For Sport Scribes to Select Two AllStar Teams -- All Clubs Would Share in Profits.

YOU MAY AS WELL LOOK YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SQUARE IN THE FACE--By Goldberg.

NEW YOKK. Dec. 2. As an aftermath of the ;-ec nt world's series a number of t-uggestlons have been adanced for revising the present sy.'-tem In voguo In the meeting ot the p nnunt winner. of tho two major It at'iics each year. Various objections liae been raided by both magnates and players regarding tho round robin series as proposed by Garry Herrmann and other suggestions along similar lines. Tho latest proposal, which ramp from a New England baweball authority, calls for a real inter-leaue series with all-Amerlcan trams from the National tend American leagues plaing for the world's title. It i3 proposed that a committer selecte! froun the members of the I Ia.sebaJl Writers' association appoint two all-league teams, one from the American and the other from the National league, and that these- combinations play a series of nine sames for the world's championship, each game to be played In a different city on the two bbg circuits. Forty Players in Scries. The plan calls for the choice to be limited to 20 playera in each league, and also would limit a player's eligibility to two years of such world's champ iorvsrtiip play. The selection of each playor would be made by a majority vote In the committee and no Ity rould have more than one representative on Fuch committee. The father of the idea points out that such a plan would provide a series between tho best placers of each le&g-im sund would thus prove a test of the playing ability of the two rival organizations. It would further g-ive etar players In second division clubs a chanco to share in the world's series money and tho fans of tho two leagues In almost every city on the two circuits an opportunity to witness at least one framo of each skisoii's world's series. All Clubs to Share. From a financial stnndjMlnt the f clnbs composing the two major

leagues would all share in the receipts j

and the leading players as well. I5y limiting the eligibility of a player to two years tho way would be open for new and rising1 players to figure in the series. It la pointed out that such a plan would do away with the Jealousy and jeers of thoso players and magnates who feel that they are entitled to a portion of tho thousands of dollars now annually divided by the leading dubs of the two leagues. Those who have heard tho scheme explained and do not approve of it. claim that it is too Utopian for professional baseball rd opena th w-ay for charges of favoritism and wire pulling during the selection process. They further contend that he Interest, being national rather than centralized, would result In a heavy falling off in gate receipts and load to th eventual collapse of the world's series as the climax of the baseball season. Regardless, however. f personal opinions, the fact that such a broad plan should have been evolved shows that there are baseball men who do not believe- that the present world's series Is the last word in America's national sport.
