MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Nov. 1.-THE
question of maximum salary limits
affecting baseball teams which are
members of the National Association
of Professional Baseball Clubs. was
disposed of last night. when all
classes with the exception of IA re-
ported to the convention as FOL
lows: Class A, $500 per month;
Glass B. 81, 800, with the exception OF
the Northwestern League, which II
was agreed should be allowed $l,OOU
additional; Glass c. $1.4Oo; Class "
81, 200.
These amounts do not include the
salaries of managers. If a manager
also holds a playing position an
arrangement can be made whereby
he may be allowed a certain amount
as a player and an additional COM
%pensation as manager.
Glass A. A. Limit to Be Secret.
President Baum. of the Pacific
Coast League, one of the organiza-
tions embraced in class IA, said to-
day that the maximum salary limit
agreed upon by class IA members
was later Withdrawn and probably
never would be read before the con-
vention or made public.

Dewey's reputation against the coW1-
bined armada of the United States or
some lesser power.
One would not expect SO clumsy an
animal as a white elephant to poise
gracefully on the top rung of the
| fielding averages, but fortunately for
| Connie Mack the soubriquet is merely
a figure of speech and not a figure
pertaining to physical proportions.
Fielding averages show less accu-
rately than do battling or pitching
averages the real relative abilities of
different players. For instance. there
is not an American League fan out
side of Boston who would not declare
without hesitation that Boston's in
field is not inferior to the Athletics
as a fielding combination at every
station, with the possible exception of
shortstop. yet the Athletics were able
to take first place in the defensive
honors with an advantage of only one
puny point over the worlds cham
pions.
A ball player can make his batting
average. but he cannot in any way
affect his fielding chances. Fielding
is a good deal a game of chance and
the luck plays a more prominent part
in this department of the game. than
in any other.
Furthermore, a players fielding
| average is affected more by chance
than his hitting mark or a pitchers
record. In every town plays are
scored differently, some official scor-
ers are too severe; some official scor-
%lenient. The happy medium between
the two is a rare bird. Thus n team
may suffer through having a % Sc
we're official scorer, whereas another
team may benefit in it's seventy-seven
home games by the leniency of the

A New Auto Tire.

A report coming from England
states that a new tire is about 70 be
placed on the market by the Holmes
Engineering company of London.
1t is said that it will give 25 per
cent more service than any other
make manufactured at the present
time, and that the tire can be pro-
duced and sold for 40 per cent less
than anything manufactured hereto
fore.
The ingredients of this new tire
are still a profound secret, but it is
known that rubber is the base. and
that scrap leather ground to fine
powder and mixed with the rubber
and other unknown materials under
an extremely high pressure are used
in it's manufacture. The claim is
made that it is equally as resilient as
the usual type of tire of today, and
that in one respect it is even more
so for the reason that il can be used
with lower air pressure in the inner
tube without resultant damage to
the casing. Tests made on the fam
Gus Brooklands track near London,
covering several thousand miles,
show that a car is quite as fast
equipped with these tires as with the
regular pneumatic. Tests have been
conducted for the past two years and
the only point at which the makers
do not claim superiority is with ref
erence to skidding, and on this point
they claim there is absolutely no diff
ference between it and the usual
type of tire.

The Iowa Primary Law.

One of the biggest fool provisions
of the Iowa primary law is the
clause which provides that a prospec-
tive candidate for Office must can
vass the state, district or county
with petitions and procure a certain
percentage of the voters signatures
in order to get his name upon the
ballot. There Is absolutely no sense
or reason to this provision, in our
judgment; 1t entails useless and un-
necessary expense and labor on the
part of candidates and their friends,
and Is veritable nuisance to the
voters of the state. Just now the
state is flooded with petitions for
every Office, and this will continue
for month or more to come. Why
not simply permit candidate to
file an affidavit with the proper Of
fetal of his intention to run for a
certain office and his desire to be
placed on the primary ticket, and
let it go at that? You can't keep a
man from running for Office if he
wants to. What reason can there
be for all this nomination fol-de-rol
