Southern Association Sets 16,916 Mile Reduction and Schedule Changes
The Southern Association held a spring meeting at the Piedmont hotel voting to cut mileage by 16,916 miles with a new schedule that favors fewer Sunday games. Uniform tickets were adopted and clubs debated home clubhouses for visiting teams, voting down that proposal. The game guarantee rose to 100 per game and waivers rules urged confidentiality until player actions clear. The opening day is set for April 1 with New Orleans allowed to start at home a day early due to the Shrine convention.
