team regarding theSsalary question, that

said er never have any trouble with the
old'plasors They know how matters stand
and are easy TO handle As an exampie Of
that, can give an iurident obat happened
before tho settlement Of the trouble with
tho outlaw Tri-state League. One Of my
players came 20 me and said he thought
be would Jump osthe outlaw league, this
season. I told him It was a matter for
him to decide alone and that-I wouldn't
offer any suggestion. II mo wanted to go
he would have gone 1 simply told him
would not tell him he could 80. lie didn't

for four months playing. a total Of $3.50 for

for a salary Of $1,000 for the season. He re-
turned the contract saying Il I would
make the figures $500 ne would sign.
"If were able to meet him and talk
TO him few minutes II would not take
long to show him that he lis wrong. A
manager can't afford to make the salary
Of an untricd youngster too high. and
that's something I don't do. II a young

strange notions. For instance, they some
tines ask for advance money, and get Il
Then when their blank contract comes
along to be eigncd they insert a cause
that tho advance money is not to be taken
from their salaries. OF course such inter-
ilnoations have no effect on tho contract.

"Tho expense Of running a. team in the
major leagues arc much more than they
used 20 be. Some years ago We could run
a. team through the season with fourteen
or fifteen men on the salary list Now We
have 10 carry as many as twenty. I have
half ad ozon pitchers. four catchers. and
we have 20 carry two extra outhelders and

PRIZE FIGHTER
Honey Melody Does Not
Drink nor Use Tobacco.
Teaches Sunday School

In many respects William Melody,
better known as Honey Melody, well
terweight champion fighter differs
from the ordinary prize ring exper-. In
the first place he is tho most religious
champion in the world and In the ncv.
place he has no desire TO go on the
stage. says the New York World. L.S e
cry Sunday OF his life he goes 20 church
and In the afternoon he takes charge
OF a Sunday school class.
Honey has never used tobacco in any
shape, and he has yet to taste intoxl-
eating liquor. From his earliest child
hood he has been imbued with the de-
sire TO be a fighter, and he has done
everything in his power TO keep himself
IN the best physical condition. AS a
result at the age Of % years he wears
the crown Of welterweight champion.
Melody was born in Charlestown
Mass. and he lives there now Unlike
all other champions. Honey does not
go away from home on long training
periods to get into condition for fight
but stays at home, does his training
there and cats the food his mother
cooks for him. Because Of his clean

His style is much like that OF Terry

West Virginia Farming.


West Virginia is awakening to
the necessity of promoting sgricul-
ture. We have been exploring our
lands for oil, gas, coal and other
valuable minerals; We have chop
ped down the timber and construct
ed railroads along the surface, but
farming and stock raising have
been confined to irregular efforts.
Now the sturdisr GLASS of immi.
grants are being urged to become
tillsrs of the West Virginia soil. 1t
is q noble occupation and capable
of as much productive science as
almost any profession.
To mingle with the soil brings
health and should in this state
bring wealth. The growing indus
trial pursuit of West Virginia will
insure market worthy OF pfaotical
cultivation by the sgrioulturist. In
the Northern and Eastern Panhan.
dies it has been demonstrated fruit
could be cultivated to the highest
perfection. Sheep, horses, cattle
and other stock have more than full
filed the limited endsaYors in these
directions, It is great field for
usefulness. Whoever can aid in
Legislative stimulus, whoever can
accomplish anything for the gener-
al advancement is performing la.
Dor worthy of highest cummends.
