Of the salaries Of several of the

Hemphil has taken a lot of play
ers who were regarded by other
managers aS has -beens and by
doing it he has grabbed a team that
is inside the limit But we'd hate
to guarantee any of the rest.
This has always been the case.
Newt Fisher really wished the
salary limit on the Southern league.
And since he has departed, Presi-
dent kavanaugh has been its real
champion
Theoretically. the salary limit is
the finest sort of an affair. II
keers the clubs all on the same
basis. it evens things up. it pro-
notes a great race-yes. it doesn't.
The salary limit is farce be-
cause IL can not be enforced. But
nobody can foresee what would be
the result Of yanking it off. In

game of draw poker. a limit is
, pestiferous thing if you have mon
ey and things are coming good. but
it's helpful when conditions are re-
versed. Doubtless it would be the
same in baseball
II would be a hot experiment to
yank off the salary limit drop Mo-
bile and Montgomery out of the
league, and let her run wide open
for a while. But goodness only
knows where the old boat would
bring up
AS for the scheme for a later
start, it would hardly do in this
