United League, Columbia League Will Expand to Eight

NEW YORK, NY. October 20, 1914 - The owners meetings are over, and there are a few very interesting changes that are being instituted by Commissioner Eagan.

First of all, the most drastic news is that each league will expand by two teams. Locations have not been named yet.

Secondly, the amount of service time needed to reach free agency has been changed from eight years to five years. While we had thought the owners would never agree, Commissioner Eagan must have been able to convince them.
