Show PLAYER LIMIT RULE HAUNTS CLUB OWNER By International News Service. NEW YORK, Dec. 22. Since the National Na-tional league voted to establish a 22-player 22-player limit and do away with the disability dis-ability clause, some of the club owners have been having bad dreams. As it is now, the merit of the new rule Is being doubted. "What will I do if injury to players ever breaks up my infield or out held?" This is what the club owner in the National Na-tional league has been pondering on of late. Under the new rules. Injured players, play-ers, in fact all of the players under contract con-tract to a National league club. must be counted within the player limit during the "closed season." When the old leaguers were in session they were as close with news as a clam. But since the meeting bits of information have trickled out. One scrap of "info" says that if any club in the old league suffers a streak of hard luck in the way of injuries to its men, the league will make a special dispensation which will enable that club to patch up Its lineup, at least temporarily. Some of the baseball wiseacres are predicting pre-dicting that when the National leaguers get "set" on a player limit rule that will be satisfactory all around there will be a high limit, also a disability clause, for at least two clubs tiie Giants and Cubs are against the rule as it stands at present. |
