Dick Hoblitzel, thst baseman of the Boston Americans, has entered a Cincinnati hospital in order to undergo operations and. surgical treamment that, it is believed. will correct defects in his physical 'con- dition to the extent of making Him fit to pass the army examination. Hoblitzel attempted to join the army some time ago, but was refus- ed on account of not being able to pass the physical examination. The defects were slight, and he was in- formed at that time that surgery could correct them, If Hoblitzel succeeds in joining the army the Boston Americans will then have lost both of their regular first basemen, as Del Gainer has al- ready enlisted. Try to Survive Army Draft. August Herrmann, chairman of the National Baseball Commission, ahounses that the commission will hold its annual meeting in Cincin- nati on January 7th. , At this meet- ing the chairman, treasurer and seec- retary of the commission will be elected. Mr. Herrman said he has taken the initial steps in reducing the play. er limit of the National League to eighteen men to a team, exclusive of the manager, by forwarding to Pre- sident ener an amendment to the league's constitution calling for that number of players to team for the season of 1918. This amendment will be voted on at the annual meet- ing of the National League in New York on December 11th. Mr. Herrmann said he believed by reducing the number of players to eighteen on each team the clubs will be able to survive the army draft: War Tax Imposes Burden. The federal war taxes on railfoad- fares will mean an average extra cost of $1,100 a season to each team in the major baseball leagues, accord- ing to estimates compiled by John B. Foster, secretary of the New York National League Club.~_ The sixteen travelling clubs will, therefore, enrich the national /trea- sury to the extent of about $18,000 next season. The average mileage of each of the major clubs is about 11,. 000 miles a season. Mr. Foster thinks the additional cost of baseball through taxation and the increased hotel expenses can be met by cuting the player limit to eighteen or twenty players. Geran and Fynan, the two Boston players turning out with Wanderers, are making a fine impression. Both are fast skaters, a point in which nearly all the American teams excel, and "Big Chief" Ross will surely give them every opportunity to make good. Geran handles himself like a Kingston's Electric Store! "Rusty" Crawford has aécepted Ottawa's terms, and will report Dec. 12. He and Hamby Shore will likely comprise the Senators' hockey de- fence.
