SCALING DOWN SALARIES.
There is said to be well-arranged plan in
operation among the clubs Of the league to
duce the salaries of all high-prieed players at
once. At the late meeting OF the magma ties. in
parlor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New
York there were several things done which did
,Nfr fbe ni1tci do 10
be preserved as dead secrets among the mag
mates themselves.
One of the most impor.ants things alleged
to have been done in that meeting the
adoption Of plan 70 reduce relations with all
high-priced players. The plan is in the form
signed by every club in the league and is now
in the hands of President Young.
The plan is simple 1t is said that whenever
o club desires to reduce the salary of player
they notify President Young by telegraph and
he at once notifies every other club. The play
ers therefore are called up and informed that
they must accept cut
Naturally the proposition Is refused. Then
comes the announcement that II must be cut or
a release. The threat of release at this time
would not ordinarily be q scare to the high
priced stars, among whom it Is to be made, for
in nearly every case there are other clubs need
ing men of their kind. which, in a clear field
and without a combination. would give each
one of them an equal salary if not one in excess
of that which they are getting. But. under the
new state of affairs a day or two is sufficient
time to let the player know that ne for some
reason is not wanted anywhere else.
The first leak of this important secret comes
through official of a southern member of the
circuit, who is known for his inability to keep
his own affairs to himself.
Harry vonderhorst's Wholesale threat of re-
leases confirmed the story, and then came fur
