Will Have to Study Salary Limit
Question and Report Back to
the Next Annual
Meeting.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
If Baseball is to Prosper Salaries
Must be Lowered, and Justice is
Best Qualified to Know
About It.
Reduce the salary limit

Reduce the salary limit.
This was the slogan of minor league
baseball magnates at San Antonio
last week when they discussed one OF
the most important phases of organic
ed baseball outside the major leagues.
If baseball is to prosper, salaries
must be cut, was the concensus OF
opinion and II is not surprising that so
well a minor league executive as
President M. E. Justice of the Central
Association should be made chairman
OF committee which is to spend a
year In study of the salary limit
proposition and report back to the
next annual meeting.
OF all the baseball men present, be
they heads Of larger or smaller or
CARNATIONS, it is doubtful il any of
them were more capable of being ca
trusted with this Craftsmanship than
President Justice. The Central As
ISOLATION has done more experimenting
with salary limits in its short history
than any other league in the country.
From a limit as low as $1,000 per
month to figures with the sky only as

now the G. A. has come down to

President Justice Honored
at San Antonio Meeting

port next year.
President Justice says the meeting
was one of tn, best eve- held in the
history of the organization. In an
interview he said;
The National Association meeting
at San Antonio was possibly one of the
best in its history as it brought forth
the best results of creating a better
feeling than ever existed between all
the different classes, especially SO be-
tween the higher classes.
The adoption of the IA Class in
creased the draft price from Glass D
to $400, which is an increase of $1u.
over the present price. 1t looked.
however, as though the adoption OF
the AA Glass would not be carried out
on account of the American Associa-
ton, Eastern league and the Pacific
coast league failing to consult with the
present Glass A leagues and when the
motion was first presented 1t was de-
feated through the efforts of Presi-
dent O'Neih of the Western league
After the motion was declared lost,
Mr.. O'Neill very magnanimously con-
scented to reconsider the motion the
following morning at which time he
took the floor and released those who
had voted with him the previous day
and the result was that the motion
was carried granting the Eastern
league, American association and Pa
cific Coast league a special classified
ton of AA. Mr.. O'Neill was the recip-
lent of considerable congratulations
upon the action that he took in the
matter
1.-THE prevailing opinion amongst
all the owners and presidents of the
different leagues was that the salary
limits in all classes has been entirely
too high and that they must be reduc'
! ed if baseball Is expected to prosper
The idea was general that they were
paying the ball players too much mon
ey for the revenue received. A gener-
al discussion was had at the conyen'
ton as to the ACCESSIBILITY of the Ma
! tional association controlling the sal
airy limits and to that end committee
was appointed to look thoroughly
| into this question and report at the
convention next year.
ut is also the intention to issue a
new form of contract which requires
a player to go before a notary and
sign an affidavit to the effect that the
salary stated in the contract is all the
money that he is to receive for hi.

training season. He has signed sew
eral, among whom is Frank Mosely, a
semi-pro player hailing from Louis

to Mason by Umpire Edward Beasley

a good chance to re-enter the league
again if Prexy Justice says so. Beas-

win Raise $1,000.

With an optimistic view of the sit
uation the baseball directors composed
of President r. N. Mason, Henry Rel
de, and A. H. Kohler will launch their
campaign for $4,000. The money is to
carry the baseball team through next
season and it is believed that the de-
sired amount will be raised as the fans
believe in the new directorate. Not
withstanding the fact that Belden Hill
is after the franchise for Cedar Rap
ids, Hannibal is going to fight hard to
retain her franchise and no trouble in
keeping the same is anticipated by
the directorate and fans.

Best Chance Lost.

Keokuk's best chance to score came
within FIVE minutes after the ball had
been kicked to open the game. Keo-
kuk kicked to Memphis in the driest
part of the field. The ball was fun
bIed on the kick and Keokuk recov-
cred, Heinemann gathering in the
ball. On the first play Heinemann
went around right end for substan-
tial gain Keokuk made first down
and then failed to advance the ball
on the next two tries. With the pig
skin within fifteen yards of the goal a
forward pass was attempted and went
wild.
During the rest OF the quarter Mem
phis had Keokuk on the run. Several
fake bucks and a good attack through
the line. mixed in with few long
boots got the ball into mid-field,
where it remained much of the time.
During this period Keokuk could not
gain and Bowlby was failing in his
efforts to punt the heavy pigskin.
