Baseball Peace Allows Cubs and Browns Surplus Players Through 1917
Chicago Nationals and St. Louis Americans are exempt from the May player limit until 1917 under the peace treaty. National league limits 21 and American league 25. Officials say Cubs and Browns may absorb Federals, creating about fifty players each, needing time to dispose of excess while other major league clubs observe the limit. Walter Fick of 805 Payson avenue is well after illness.
