A Rochester scribe today blames
the failure Of h Jersey City club
and some of the other International
League clubs to make money on the
high salaries which these clubs are
paying. Rochester. having won three
%pennants, is setting a pace that is
making the other teams break their
necks to get major league material,
and they have to pay big salaries.
1t is said that Larry Schlaiy's pay
roll mounts up over the 5000 mark
every month.
George is VERY optimistic and pre-
diets that Newark will return home
In second place. Here's hoping that
George has the right dope.
The Tigers scored one in the first
inning and the Hustlers two. Singles

The Tigers registered on Swacina's

cina's steal Of third and Eddie Zim-
merman's sacrifice fly. . Johnson's
triple and Blair's single scored the
home teams tally. Doubles by Dolan

Francois, who sleeps with the ends
of his ornate mustachio stuck in his
nostrils to give 1t that Emperor Will
lam angle and f~ierceness, is one OF
the very best little amateurs in all
of France. Francois has some medals
that are silent but potent proofs of
his ability as a bike rider, and he
should be a big factor In the amateur
races here this season. Francois has
ambitions. He would like to carry
back to France the honor of winning
the championship of America and also
the worlds championship. Being a
man of means. Pedron will have the
best of care while here and he may

has been for two weeks, but has not
had an opportunity to exhibit him
