Magnates Decide Retention of Limit and Spring Trips
American league owners settled on keeping the S player limit and continuing spring training trips while preparing for a joint meeting with the National league. They face questions on reducing the schedule to 140 games or moving to 154 games, tax issues, war clauses in contracts, and division of World Series receipts. President Johnson announced an unpaid $110,000 fund for federal league backers and discussed distribution, with salaries protected if players enlist. The league plans a hat and ball fund day and a fund to aid soldiers, while trade talks move for Pratt and Lavan of St Louis and other deals. Charles Comiskey disclosed Eddie Collins’ contract details, including a $50,900 price, a $15,000 signing bonus, and a two-year, $15,000-per-year contract.
