BALL PLAYERS KICK
MUCH DISSATISFACTION SHOWN ON
 SALARY LIMITS.
But Few Contracts Have Been Sighed By the Southern League and F Managers Are Having
 Much Trouble.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 29-(SpecialO-I According to Information given at the Southern League headquarters, the com ing of the New Year finds fewer base ball players signed in this section than in any previous time since the league was started.
 The players are dissatisfied with sal aries offered, and are displaying inde- pendent manners, and, it is said, caus- ing several managers no end of worry. The action of the Southern fathers at the recent meeting in Atlanta. in in- creasipg the number of players to be allowed each team from fourteen to if. teen and allowing the maximum amount, s2.700. to remain at the same figures as last year, Is said to have caused the managers to agree on cut of practically 10 per cent in each old players salary in order to conform with the new requirements as adopted by the league.
 signed few contracts. Four players in all in a total of over twenty bagged for experimental use. have attached their signatures to 1908 documents and of this number, only one Is listed among those who played here last season.
 Southern League clubs are getting greedy" said one ball player who has been wintering here and who has mo- ticed the way clubs are treating play CTS. These clubs want all the money. They don't want to divide fairly with the men behind the game-that is, the players who amuse the public and who are responsible for the afternoons en. tertainment Contracts being offered ball players are ridiculously low. The old men are offered amounts 10 per cent under the 1907 scale. There is a plain attempt to cut all salaries 10 per cent and ball players believe that the Southern managers agreed among themselves at the Atlanta meeting to make the cut unanimous.
 "As the new salary limit stands clubs are allowed s2.700 only for fifteen play. CTS each month. Last year the same players. The new salary limit simply ditional man at no expense The play ers however. must suffer by the shave off their salaries to pay the fifteenth man."
 The same player takes issue with the calamity howlers who have advanced the theory that the enforcement of the salary limit Is the only safeguard for the preservation of the game and points to profits by several clubs last year as proof of his contentious. Mem phis Is credited with clearing 000 and this is not denied by the officials. Atlanta's profits may have been large enough to pay for the handsome Ponce de Leon plant in this mans opinion. and New Orleans made money, while httle Rock and Birmingham lost none, with Montgomery and Shreveport cut ting off enough profits from their ell. agreements in Atlanta, Memphis and New Orleans to offset any loss encoun- tered by the facing of small assem- blages at home.

Best Violin strinas,

The best strings for vlolins are OF
italian make and are from the intes-
tines Of spring lambs, killed in Sep
TENDER. The process OF drying and
bleaching of the woods and strings by
the hot Italian sun, rather than by
the artificial method used in other
countries, accounts in a great meas
ure for the superior quality Of both
materials. This intense heat was also
tho reason for the slow distillation
Of the oils used by the Italian max
ers,. which always remained at a high
temperature, and the varnish. slowly
soaking into the woods of the violins
beneath the heat of those Italian sum-
mers, produced, in part, the mellow
ness of tone that gives to a CremonS
instrument its value, after lapse OF
200 or more years.-March Circle.

A FRIENDLY GROCER.
Dropped Valuable Hint About Coffee.

For about eight years." writes a
ousness-part of the time down in bed

Sometimes l would get numb and it

TIME TO CLEAN FURS.
Gran Is the Best Agent That Can BE
Employed.

Every woman who wears furs should
clean them this season, no matter how
carefully hey have been worn, for
they are surely dirty, though dark
skins may not show the soil. Many
light ones, however, give marked evil
dences now of the need of cleans
ing.
This cleaning process that restores
the mster and life" may be easily
done at home by rubbing bran into
the fur For this work buy a pound
of bran, divide it into two portions, and
place one in the oven to heat. Spread
the fur on paper on tsi lie and rub it
well all over with the cold bran. Then
shake out the bran and brush the
fur with a soft hat brush. When the
rest OF the bran feels hot, rub it even
ly into the fur in the same manner as
before. Shake il out and brush it
till the fur is quite free from all bran
and dust
Ermi&s white fox and other white
skins ISsuire slightly different treat
ment. Sawdust and plaster of paris,
mixed half and half should be heat
ed and rubbed into the skin several
times Then the coat, collar, etc,
should be put in the sun to air or
else hung near radiator.
A white felt of chiffon hat may
he much freshened by rubbing pow
dered magnesia into it as firmly as
one can without injuring the material,
and then brushing out with a soft
brush. Repeat this several tines.
