The players at present hold the key
to the baseball situation. and they are
improving its possession by keeping
some Of The magnates guessing. While
a large number Of National and Amer
lean league players signed contracts
for next year before the close Of the
playing season, some of the stars land
some who are mott are still fancy free,
and the chief interest these days is
in watching the efforts OF the rival
leagues 10 land them.
But the players realize their oppor-
tunity. There are not enough tried
players to go around with two big
leagues IN the market after talent. and
the consequence Is many players are
placing exorbitant values upon their
services. Even second-raters are de-
manding big money for playing next
year. arguing that they can play one
league against the other.
The argument is all right from the
players standpoint, and no one
blames them for reaping as large a
harvest as possible from the existing
situation. But the wise man will re-
member that there is a limit even to a
magnate's bank roll, and If salaries
are crowded so high that either league
is forced 10 the wall or 70 make a
compromise there will be short work
made of clipping salaries. It is for
the players interests TO maintain the
present situation as long as possible
but baseball players as a rule look only
to their immediate interests. without
regard 70 what happens 70 others In
the same profession.

It IS these tones and gestures that he
must employ and not those that would
naturally occur to him"
An illustration Of this principle was
given later by n. Coqueiin in a contri-
button to Judge. in which he told the
story OF the time when. during a scene
in which he was supposed to sleep. he
actually dropped OF into a little nap.
The paper the next morning said that
N. Coquelin knew how 10 do every
thing on the stage except sleep. And
the paper was right. said NJ Coque-
lin. sleeping ought not be done on
the stage Just as it would be done in
a bedroom.
