The Senators drove 12 files to the outfield, eight grounders and seven of them struck out.

Wertz came to bat after Pat Muilin drove a fly ball just five feet short of the right field stand.-'. After letting the first ball go by.

Maritime Major Hockey League meeting in Halifax this Sunday will be that of considering wheth- er major hockey will continue in the Marltimes or whether the ordinary senior brand will be re- turned. In view of the heavy costs of last year there has been smu- lation that major hockzy will be abandoned. However, before any deflnale action is taken the de.e- gatss at the Sunday meeting will discuss a proposal to have major hockey. This proposal will come from Col. Victor Oiand of the Hai- ifax Saints or from some Halifax representative. We have r:ceived a communication from Halifax outlining this proposal by which Col. Oiand estimates that each club will he able to save approxim- ately 819.000.

In summary form Col. Oiand proposes a sixty game schedule over a twenty-week p:riod or a seventy game schedule over a

twenty-three and a half week per- iod. The teams would play two home games one week -and one

home game plus ll thr:c game road trip the following week. lie estim- ates that this reduction in games and consequently travelling would save each club about 5500 per fortnight in travelling expensesor a total of S1000 in I twenty week schedule. 0 0 I In I 60 game schedule Col. Oiand figures that each club could get along with a maximum of is instead of 18 players. "Assuming the average pay of a player to be 33,000 a year. the saving on these two players would be 56,000 a year." he states. For some clubs there would not be a saving here as all did not carry in men. He- garding the officials Col. Oiand also figures that r:-fereelng costs could be reduced by at least 01.000 a team through I reduct.-loo in the number and travelling exp:mea. . - .

He proposes n ten per cent cut in payrolls and adds that he be- lieve: many of the players would be willing to accept a ten per cent cut for a twenty to thirty per cent cut in games. Assum- ing a 32.500 payroll each week he estimate: the saving to amount to 8250 a week or s5,0()0 over ll twenty-week schedule. He claims that larger numbers of people will attend the fewer home games and the larger the atten- dance the cheapcr the costs. On this basis he believes that game costs could be cut by 52,000 per

team per year. I O 0
