Show MAGNATES ARE DONE WITH SHORT SEASONS j NEW YORK, Sept. 2fi. Experience this ! year spells the doom of the short season in the major leagues. Magnates in both circuits are kicking- themselves, eo to speak, over falling for the 140-game idea. Because of its lack of merits over the 154-game schedule, the club owners have adopted the "never again' motto. President Ueydler of the National league believes that the first decision made when next season's schedules are arranged wiD 1 be to bring back the old long snason. "From tho talk of club owners I have no doubt that they will disapprove further fur-ther experiment with short seasons," he said today. Loss of fourteen games has not only meant much In dollars and cents to the club owners, but it may be a factor in cutting some of them out of fat slices of world's series coin. Cleveland and letroft both figure that the short spason cut them out of a swei r"-nnce for the American lencue pt-nnant. They both figure that four! en more games would give them just the chance wanted to cut down the margin of the leading White Sox. |
