icy to let Blair go, even though he was
but of ordinary ability, for the scarcity
of catchers is such at this time that the
club which takes chances on picking up
a man during the winter is very apt to
meet with disappointment.
BY reserving a number of rows in the
lower and upper deck of the grandstand
for every game to he played OH the local
grounds next season the club has taken
a decided step forward. Ia this respect
there has been much lacking here in the
past. OF course. before the new stands
were built there was really no occasion
for such provisions, but with the new
stand ii should be possible for patrons
to assure themselves of seats hours or
even days before the time ehey expect
to attend. The slight advance in prices
Is in keeping with the conditions exist
ing i'm every major league city. The
erection of modern plants and the fact
the ball players are now being paid al
most four times as much as they were
ten years ago make it necessary for the
clubs to increase their source of revenue.
Griffith. likt McAleer. believes that Tom
Hughes can more than earn his salary
during a season by merely being used to
stop batting rallies. There is no more
effective pitcher in the pinches than the
| this on numerous occasions last season,
and the team which cannot boast of a
| pitcher who can go in with the bases full
and none out and stand a good chance OF
getting away Is i'm Il bad way, to say the
1 least.
Charley Hall of Boston led all the
twirlers in this respect. He was the hes,
man in either league to be used In pinch
| when one of the other twirlers had fall
/, tered. Hughes is valuable for this pur
pose because he Is cool and deliberate
| and uses rare judgment In working q
batsman under trying conditions.
The creation of an assistant manager
has given berths to many veteran bal
PLAYERS whose playing days are over. and
who have not had the opportunity te
secure a managerial position. In this
| way some men who have been identified
| with base ball for years are being taker
care of in their declining days. though
their positions are by no means sina
cures. Kid Gleason. for instance. SHOULD
be of great help to Jimmy Callahan. La

BY J. ED GR1LLo.

The new rule. passed by the national
commission at the suggestion of the minor
leagues. preventing the major league
clubs from paying players coming from
the minors more than % per cent in
crease in salary over what they drew
the year before will be observed by
Manager Griffith.
Griffith has already mailed contracts to
some Of his youngsters but he will recall
these and make such changes in the fig
ures as are necessary after he has
learned what these players drew last
season.
This rule, which undoubtedly is good
one for all concerned. is really a protec-
ton for the minor, leagues. Heretofore
young players have more than doubled
their salaries when brought up to the big
leagues. and il they have failed to make
good and have been returned to the
minors they have found it hardship to
accept the salary the little leagues could
afford to pay.
The new rule makes it compulsory upon
the club not to increase the players
coming from the minor leagues more than
25 per cent the first year up, so that the
major leagues cannot be blamed for the
amount they offer the PLAYERS coming
ever, that I'm the event of such players
making good there is nothing to prevent
him from paying them a bonus.
Tom Hughes is to undergo an oper-
alton during the present week which he
hopes will help his pitching. When
Hughes landed on a disgruntled fan in
Chicago last fall he knocked one of the
knuckles of his pitching hand out of
place. This has left one finger abso-
lutely useless and interferes with his
grasping the ball. Dr. Hilton. the club
surgeon, has examined the injured MEN,
Der at Manager Griffith's request. and has
given 1t as his opinion that the finger

repentance for his act in signing the
bill to legalize boxing. He is there

many rumors current since the gov
ernor made his position known is that
the power in Tammany Hall has been
withdrawn from the measure and that
no effort will be made to save II.
There Is no doubt that the law has not
produced the results desired. and it is
said that even Senator Frawley is not
satisfied with the way in which his pet
scheme has developed. The idea prevalent
when the measure was proposed was that
a limited number of responsible clubs
would be allowed to operate under its
provisions and that a strict surveillance
would be kept over the clubs and the
boxers. No sooner were the f1oodgates
open, however, than there came q rush
of more or less irresponsible promoters.
primed to observe the regulations neces-
sary to gain license, but with no in
tention afterward Of keeping the sport
clean and healthy.
The city has become honeycombed with
small clubs. and the many petty viola
lions Of the law and the orders of the
commission have kept that body busy.
Though a revenue has been acquired by
the state from the boxing exhibitions, 1t
is common talk that many organizations
have gone to unusual lengths to deprive
the state OF its fair returns, and In some
instances the boxers themselves have re-
ported that they were cheated out Of
their just dues. Crowds admitted through
one door while the state officials were
watching at another and the charging for
press and complimentary tickets that
were never issued are two of the means
said to have been adopted to shade the
receipts.
1t is also said that at least half Of the
clubs running shows are doing so at q
loss. That, Of course Is purely their
own business and was expected by the

ter Johnson could be improved as a
pitcher. yet Manager Griffith expects to
make the Nationals star even more ef-
fective than he has been. Griffith will
take Johnson in hand in the spring AMI
teach him a few tricks of the trade. The
manager does not believe that Walter

The placing of screen on the top OF
the right field fence on the loca. ball
park. which was decided on by the board
OF directors yesterday at the suggestion
of Manager Griffith. Is a self-protection
measure.
Griffith i'm looking over the probable
makeup of his team, was struck with the
fact that the chances are he will not be
blessed with any mighty slugger who Is
apt to drive long flies into right field.
Under present conditions such flies would
count for home runs. and with nearly
every team but the Nationals harborins
q long right field hitter. the advantage
would naturally be with the visiting
teams There and then Griff decided TO
block the way for these flukey home runs
and erect a screen. il is figured that
this will be built about forty-five feet
above the fenc. so that when a ball is
hit over ii the batsman will deserve full
credit for his performance.
II memory serves correctly. Gessler and
Milan were the only members of the local
team TO get home runs over this fence,
while about eight visiting players made
the circuit by means of such drives.
In granting the demands of the minor
leagues, the national commission acted
wisely. and yet gave but little. ABOUT
the only benefit that the little fellows
derjyei from the changes in the agree
mcht is the advanced drafting price, and.
perhaps the honor of being In a higher
class which change is not apt to increase
the revenues. For years the American
Association and International League
have been lighting for higher classif-
cation. 20 which both were justly entitled.
and vet only during the final year of the
present agreement were their demands
granted The Increased price of draft
ing from these leagues will bring about
much of a change. But one player can
be drafted from these leagues and IL VIII
clubs to pay an increase of $1.JGo over
the former price. incidentally. the con-
eessions made the minors will for a time
at least put stop to the war talk which
has been emanating from these quarters

winter. BY sending Catcher Blair Il
