INTER-
LEAGUE NEVER

Sometime ago a local sporting writer
put out story that Wilmington would
likely be represented-by dupont in an in
ter-state league this season. This is what
the Chester Times says about the propo-
sition:
"There are quite few Of the fans, ana
even a manager or two, If their conver-
sation is to be taken seriously. who would
like to take Wilmington in on a good
thing" and give them a membership in a
sort Of interstate league. Never.
Should a project like this go through. tie
teams not only in Chester. but in VII
mington. as well, will be sorry they ever
tied up There isn't any use whatever i'm
considering the proposition for it would
never work. It is a pretty safe bet that
should these two cities decide to enter into
an agreement there would be more wrang-
ling in baseball than this section has ever
experienced
Chester is a corking good baseball city
and the fans want what they want when
they want it. For that reason every effort
should be put forth to give them that
which they deserve, for they are ready to
give their support and managers on tho
level with them at all times and not try
ing constantly TO work the professional
racket, are sure to gain favorable hear
ing.

SALARY LIMIT OF
TRI-STATE LEAGUE
How the Rule Was Broken in
the PaSt---The Calhoun
Case

There is considerable talk going the
rounds of the Tri- State circuit at the
present time regarding the observance
OF the salary limit of S175 a month
during the coming season and there
seems to be good reason for the talk
as players who are being brought back
into tho league were formely paid from
$500 TO $500 a month, and these men
are supposed to sign contracts for
either sf75 or 5000 a month If they are
lucky enough 10 be appointed captain
OF the teams
But the salary limit has been broken
IN past years. il was broken last year
by several clubs and it promises TO be
broken this year in even more
fragrant manner. There are ways and
ways of getting around II and just a
few of the schems employed last year
have been told by the players who
were affected. one club purchased a
star innelder from a Glass AA club
but he would not listen 20 a 5000 a
month proposition. But that did not
matter he signed contract for that
figure and then one day a porter at
q hotel handed the player an envelope
and low and behold YOU there were five
crisp siOO bills enclosed without a word
OF explanation. But the player knew.
Now this same player is still the prop
erty OF the club which worked the lit
Tie trick last season.
Another case OF a player who was
Induced to sign a contract at tho limit
figure after much objection almost
turned into a disaster. The player one
day discovered 800 bill laying at his
feet and thought some one had drop
ped it. but II was far from pay day
and he knew no player possessed and
carried around such a certificate. As
he was about to make an inquiry a
wink from the manager put him wise
and the bin went down into the play
ar's Jeans but the extra 800 was never
shown on the contract
stiu another player on another club
worked the scheme in another way
He was a purchased man but would not
sign at the Tri-state limit. He signed a
contract at a certain figure and re-
cnived his monthly envelope from the
club with which he was playing. but
each month there came an extra check
from the club he had been purchased
from and he got 1915 month for play
fnr in a league where the salary limit
was 5000 OF course the Tri-State club
sust added TO tho purchase price
enough for the club In the other league
20 pay the extra seveny-flve dollars a
month during the season. And none of
these schemes were worked in Har-
risburg. George Heckert had other
ways IN which he even fooled the direc-
-t5rs If he paid any of his men over
the limit
Williamsport has purchased Calhoun
and some fans and supporters are rea
indignant that anyone should suggest
that Tom Gray or Bill Coughlin woulo
countenance the breaking of n Tri.
Satte rule. Here is what the Gazette
and Bulletin says;
"Calhoun win not be offered a con

tract for SITS. His contract viii call
for 5000 and he win play for that
amount or not with Wiliamsport- un-
less something happens 10 Coughlin. In
that event he may be placed in charge
of the team. but that is only case
"may" If "Red" Calhoun plays here
he win captain the team
"Williamsport proposes to adhere TO
the salary rule. II has already given
men the privilege OF finding clubs
which will pay them what they feel
they are worth, with the understanding
that they will be sold TO any club they
may name II that club win buy at q
reasonable figure
Now Red Calhoun is very warm
friend Of Dick Cup. the sporting edi-
tor of one Of the Pittsburg papers and
this is what Calhoun says:
UNLESS terms are satisfactory ] will
not go to Williamsport. Jersey city
wanted to sell me to New orleans, but
I would not go South and then was
offered the management of "a certain
club which I declined. George Heck
ert wanted me for his Trenton club.
but we could not come 10 terms. So
Wilkes-B Barre sold my release to Will
Transport. Unless terms suit me /
will stay right in the North Side the
coming summer"
OF course Calhoun is not the only
player who will not play at 5000 Cal
houn was sought by the Harrisburg
club, first rs player and he wanted $500
a month, and then he was asked terms
as manager and he wanted $3.50 a
month with bonuses for finishing one,
two or three. There are half a dozen
players who have never played for less
than 1915 a month and have been get
ting that figure and II will be interest
ing to note II they come into the Tri-
state. But one thing can be counted
upon. the Harrisburg club will have
] no player who is getting over S175 a
month except its captain. Baseball
Chairman Mercer b. Tate is firm in
his stand to live up to every rule of
the league and with Manager Selbach
is having no trouble in bringing young
stars into the league and securing
them at figures which are set down by
the league officials.
