The Junior organisation. however, was
strongly opposed to any reduction in

that the national Army draft might
cut deeply into the clubs before next

it would be unwise to make any
changes. Some of the National
League club owners sought to have
the two leagues agree on a limit of
twenty or twentyone players. The
present limit of twenty-five [mayors on
the American Lelgue and twenty-two
