Franks Latest Stunt

When it was first published that Charlie Frank, the willy leader of the Pelicans, had insured his men against the possi- bility of danger, one thought that per haps he was working in the interest of his players. Nay!
 Frank is insuring his men for himself If Rohe breaks leg Frank will collect. But Rohe gets nothing. Poor Rohe. At that, the move of Frank is a wise if not a good one from his standpoint.
 The Cleveland club carries heavy insur- ance policies for its players And other members of the majors do likewise. Frank is simply setting the pace which all other Southern league club owners will event. ually follow.
 But 1t Is pity that the player who breaks his leg can't share in the profits. When the constitution of the league is so changed that player with a broken back can be cared for perhaps some generous magnate will provide for his men. But not now.
 Pitchers All Important Pretty soon these hits the boys are smashing out will be sent to Judge Kav- anaugh. The seasons opening is not far away.
 And this reminds that several clubs of the league are unusually strong. Like Judge Kavanaugh says every sprir 2 morning, it does seem that the race wiz be closer and more exciting thls year than ever before.
 This may be true, for the salary limit has been increased, and the man limit has been increased.
 The team with pitchers will win the pennant This is a tip which stands good every season. If were manager would sign five absolutely dependable pitchers If had to break a strong box to do so, and then All in the other places with amateurs and semi-professionals. I am serious when say that i've pitchers of the class of Hess and Allen. backed Up with good i-professionals or profess sionals from the "bushes" could win a pennant nine years out of every 10 in the Southern league.
