Text | [editorial matter] One result of minor league reservation is that the young blood craze has been effectually checked in the National League at least, and with the exception of Cleveland and Philadelphia none of the League clubs will present many new faces. To stock clubs with youngsters, who, though men of fame in minor leagues are at best but experiments in the faster major league class, now entails greater expense than even big clubs can afford to indulge in, as all minor league young blood now commands a price. And all things considered this state of affairs is a good thing for the old players and the new, and the clubs as well, as the former are more certain of their positions, the youngsters are less liable to be shuffled around from town to town and clubs are saved the expense of generally wasteful and useless experimenting. |
