The President of the Central AS
ISOLATION Should Receive
That Amount Each
Year.
EXPENSE OF OFFICE.
Former President of the Central
Association Sums Up situa-
ton in an Inter
view.

ACCORDING to Frank Norton of
burlington, a former presiden, of the
oehtral Association, the salary of the
president of the league should be $500.
Ihere is much expense attached to
the ONCE and the present salary is in
SUFFICIENT. In an interview last even.
ing with a Hawk-Eye reporter he
said:
FRANK Q. Norton, of Burlington, for
mer president of the Iowa league and
man deeply concerned with the prob.
iems OF the Central association, makes
the suggestion that the salary of the
president Of the league be raised
IRON $500 to 5000. He points out that
the executive cannot do all the work
required and stand all the expenses
involved on the small sum paid. The
Hawk-Eye agrees with Mr.. Norton
and presents his arguments in favor
OF the proposed increase in salary
with approval. In an interview yester-
day evening Mr.. Norton said on this
subject:
eiie ooidiS VI lne pTeSlQenI
$500. The office is worth every cent
OF 1T. No one not having experience
can realize the amount of trouble,
worry and work there is in connection
with the office of president of the as
ISOLATION, and in addition to this there
are several expenditures that go with
the office.
In the first place the president Of
the league is expected and does con-
tribute quite a chunk of his salary to
the local organization Then 1t is alb
solutely necessary for him to hire
clerical help, for the work not only
lasts during the playing season, but
4 practically the entire year.
His Expenses
The president should and usually
does visit the various towns once or
twice a season in addition to attned-
Ing league meetings. he is allowed his
actual expenses. railroad fare and
hotel bill This does not represent
over one-half of the expense incurred
Very few, if any, leagues require
an official statement of the averages
of the various players every meath
The Central association does request
that of the president, and it is a ire
mendous task only possible to accom-
plish through the aid of an expert ac-
countant. This costs money.
Il question very much whether any
one could accept the presidency of the
Central association for $500 and have
500 left for himself at the close of
the season after donating to the cause
and paying help; everyone will con
cede this is not a sufficient amount for
six months trouble, worry and work
Il would suggest that the salary be
raised to 5000, said amount to cover
all expenses in connection with the
running of the league; should the
president employ secretary, said Of
ficial's salary and expenses t, be paid
from the 5000.
81 would like to see, for the well
fare of the organization, the directors
take favorable action upon a resolu-
ton of this kind at their January
meeting and amend their constitution
in accordance herewith
