Salaries OF pIAyers.

Several ball players in the east hav.
submitted to interviews upon the sub.
ject OF a salary scale and all seem ia
think that the magnates will have the
sublime audacity of attempting to ar
range such a scale. 1t is limited by
one Joe Kelley that "the fact that onlv
three clubs out Of dozen made money
during the past season may be used
as lever to bring about a scale" and
Mr.. Kelley continues: I'm Baltimore
a year ago we felt that our services
were worth more than the sum fixed
and fixed arbitrarily, as the compen-
sation for ball players. There is no
more reason why the salaries OF ball
players should be limited than should
those Of actors" The Cleveland club
has had it's troubles along money
lines, but the salary question has not
been one Of them. 1t may be that the
Cleveland players are intelligent
enough to see that they are doing
pretty well under a $2,40O limit for a
couple Of hours exercise five or six
days a week for six months. It has
veen suggested that "if the clubs were
to stipulate that in case the earnings
reached a certain figure the players
should be entitled to extra compensa-
ton, such an arrangement would bring
about far different condition than
that which prevails today. There is no
limit to the profit OF the owners of a
club, but, successful or unsuccessful
the salaries Of the players remain the
same" 1t might be suggested also that
the losses of the magnates are prac-
tically unlimited, but no matter what
money is lost the salaries Of the play
