CLARK And WAGNER
| TO QUIT IN 1910

Clarke and Wagner to quit the Pitts
burg team at one time? To the lover
Of the game, as we'll as to the Pitts
burg management, players and fans,
that sounds little short of a catastro-
phe, writes Charles I'll. Zuber in a Gin
cinnati paper.
That is what is going to happen. II
the Information straight from the box
is to be relied upon-and generally It
is. So direct does the Information
come that the name of the party must
be kept secret. The story is that both
OF these great ball players will alb
solutely quit the game at the end Of
this season, that Barney Dreyfuss
knows 1t, and that he realizes that this
time the mighty Wagner will stick to
his decision. It is Clarke's first posi-
tive declaration and Fred is expected
also to be in earnest about 1t. AS told
to me, when Dreyfuss protested to
Clarke, saying he was still a young
man. good for an indefinite number of
years, and sure to command a high
salary all that time, Clarke responded
by saying: There's more in this
world than money, for me at least
would sooner make only half the sum
/ am receiving now and be with my
family and in my home I simply will
not stand for the long separation that
a season of baseball means-an entire
spring and summer apart from the
ones you love, travelling on the road
or playing in city that is not ones
home This is the finish for me-"
Wagner, according to the story, told
Dreyfuss that this time there will not
be repetition Of last years action,
when, at the last moment, he joined
the team, without any training, and
played as good ball as he has any year
in his great career. 1t is said that
Wagner, giving in to the pleadings Of
Dreyfuss, fell for another year by
first hearkening to the call to the ex-
tent that he offered to play until June
1 for nothing If in the meantime Drey-
fuss would find someone to take his
place. Yielding that much. he yielded
more when the time came, for, as ev-
eryone knows, there wasn't a chance

ASSOCIATION
SALARY LIMIT

IL is almost certain that at the an
nual meeting of the American associa-
ton in Chicago next December a move
will be made to abolish the salary limit
and also the limit on the number of
players to be carried by any one club.
Most of the A. A. 1magnates have favor
ed an increase in the salary limit for
some months and magnates have open
ly advocated cutting out the limit on
the number of players. A well known
association player was In Milwaukee
the other day and offered a suggestion
regarding the salary limit that seems
worthy of consideration. The players
in question said: Instead of having

BANJOHNSONBUTTS

Detroit, Oct let is stated here on
authority which, although thought to
be reliable, hides it's identity, through
fear Of 'Iese majestic" that Ban john
son is so anxious fer the American
league to win the worlds champion
ship this year, that he is interfering
with Hug1ey Jennings in the manage
nent of the Tigers.
This authority states that Johnson
has a poor opinion OF Scharley
Schmidt's throwing ability, and We'd
nesday made repeated and persistent
requests to Manager Jennings to send
in Stanage. Jennings did so, and was
disguised with his work, taking him
out late in the game, to let Mcintyre
bat for him.
When Schmidt went in, he was even
worse than Stanage and Jennings and
Ban Johnson both are said to be half
distracted over the outlook for the
final game.

a salary limit OF so much a month why
not make 1t an Individual player limit
and do away entirely with the limit on
the number Of players TO be carried
Az understand It the salary limit has
been $4,000 per month for each club,
but that some want TO raise 1t to
$4,000 while others want II abolished.
Now II a limit was placed or the in
dividual player Of $3.50 or even $500 per
month II would enable the managers to
get few stars. and in case OF in
jury during the season TO any Of his
players he could secure new ones with
out trouble. A salary Of $3.50 a month
Tor three or four stars or even FIVE,
would not be out Of place, and such
limit would make II possible for the
clubs to land some high class men. or

month, but 1T would be permissible IL
absolutely necessary. They might be
had for say $3.50 month or even s4O0.
The average player in the A. A. at
present is not getting much beyond
5000 month, and it is not enough for
league that classes as high az the
association. The players salaries could
be graded so that the average would
not run over 1915 month or $500 at
the most That would bring the total
cost for salaries for the season. for
fifteen men, TO about $4,000 a season.
which is not much when you consider
that all the clubs report earnings of
from $4,000 to 100000 on the season,
while some have gone away beyond
that. The A. A. has advanced from
a small minor league and is now class
ed as the biggest in the country out

MANAGERS Deny
HITCH IN fight

San Francisco, Oct. 16.-Rumors of
a hitch in the Johnson Ketchel cham
pionship fight, which is scheduled to
take place in Coffroth's arena this
afternoon, appear to have been
hasty and unfounded, according TO i'm
formation that came from both camps
this morning. Johnson and Coftroth
had a conference late last night and it
was surmised Immediately that there
was trouble over the side bet Of $16,-
600. This rumor spread rapidly, when
it was learned that Coffroth ad said:
There may be no fight. I'll tell You
more about It,"
George Little, Johnson's manager
when asked this morning If there was
any hitch, said: Certainly not. John
son and Coffroth had a talk last night
but nothing serious came up. II WAS
simply that Johnson wanted to have an
understanding in regard 10 certain lit
tie matters, SO as not to consume time
when the men entered the ring. 1t was
decided that the managers of the fight
, ers should have a conference with Ref
cree Welch today and settle everything
that is likel yto cause friction at the
last moment. There is nothing wrong
with the side bet and there is no
chance of anything cropping up to In
terfere with the fight"
Willis Britt, KetcheFs manager, said
| that he had not heard Of any trouble
and that he hardly thought Johnson
would raise any question as to the
side bet.
When Johnson stepped on the scales
after his work today he weighed 1873
pounds.

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.

/ Although people set out lightly 10
amend the Constitution of the United
States, it is task difficult of ac-
complishment, and such was the inten-
ton. Mr.. Taft assumes that there is
strong sentiment in favor of an income
tax, but that might be true and still no
amendment would follow. To amend
the Constitution il is necessary that
two-thirds of the members of both
houses of Congress shall vote in favor
OF 1t and that their action shall be rati-
fed by the Legislatures of ee-fourths
of the States. A measure that runs
this gauntlet must be urgent and have
great popularity.
Congress has proposed four amend
ments which the States have refused to
ratify. Two of these, in 1889, per
tanned to the ratio of representation
and to the salaries of me- bers. In
1909 Congress proposed an amendment
annulling the citizenship of any Ameri-
can who should accept title or gift
from foreign prince. Harmless as
this must have been in that day, it
lacked one State of the necessary three
fourths. In l860-6l, in view of the slay-
cry dispute and the imminence of Sc
cesslon, many amendments were pro-
posed for the purpose of reassuring the
South, but Congress adopted only one.
Hostilities began soon afterward. and
thus no action by the States was had.
The first ten amendments, constitut-
ing the bill Of rights, were proposed
at one time in 1883 and were ratified in
1871. They were exacted by several Of
the States as a condition of their ac-
ceptance Of the Constitution itself.
The eleventh and twelfth amendments,
protecting States from suits by citizens
OF other States in Federal courts and
regulating the electoral system, were
adopted in 1898 and 1903 respectively.
The last mentioned would seem to have
invited no opposition, and yet it received
exactly three-fourths vote of the
States.
Public memory is still fresh as to the
three remaining amendments. They
were intended to secure the fruits of
the war tor the Union. The thirteenth
failed once in the House of Representa-
tlves, and Nevada was made State
for the purpoSe of secnrinp the nec4c-
sary three-fourths. Acceptance of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
was made condition of reconstruction
in some of the Southern States, and
there was much opposition at the North.
IL is possible TO amend the Consti-
tuition, but the process requires time,
great singleness of purpose and com
parative fr' edom from antagonism, not
only in Congress but in the Legislatures
Of thirty-flve Of the forty-six States.

BUNCOMBE.

When Governor Crothers was asked
what he thought of the statement that
the negro vote is needed in MARYLAND
Gin order to preserve the balance of
power between the two parties, thereby
putting the Democratic party on its
mettle, " he promptly replied ANY
Marylander who holds such views ought
to leave the State" Continuing, the
Governor was quoted as follows:
is, of all arguments, the most fool
ish that can be advanced and the one
least worthy of serious consideration.
The men who make it must smile at the
idea. If IT were true that the majority
of the white people of Maryland would
tolerate maladministration in any shape
or form, then the theory Of popular
government is all wrong and we are, in
deed, in a very deplorable plight"
We commend the Governors frank
ness in discussing the DISTINGUISHING
amendment, but his argument is beyond
us. What in the world is meant by the
statement that Marylanders would not
tolerate 'maladminstration in any
shape or form" we are unable 10
imagine. Marylanders are no more ex-
empt from the evils Of bad government
than the people Of any other Common
wealth, and we are certain that most of
them find it an exceedingly difficult lob
TO keep away from "maladministra-
ton. F." Marylanders have stood for bad
State government when all they had to
do TO get rid Of 1t was TO turn the rascals
out; but 1t took a mighty long hard fight
before they could be brought around to
doing il. Hence, when the Governor
says they would not stand for any thing
but good government now he talks
well, let Us say that he talks buncombe.
That is about the kindest thing we can
say about il.
Neither do we think the Governor
should ash everybody who thinks it is
better for the public welfare to have
