MANAGER BAKER
HAS A NEW SCHEME
Will Pay Players According to Ability
and Fine Them for Any Poor
Playing,

What is without doubt the most
unique system for paying semi.profes-
siOnal baseball players ever devised in
the history of the great American pas.
time, is a merit scale that has been
worked out by Manager Baker, of the
Salem Senator's for the 1918 season.
Baker, who is probably the hardest
working and the most original manager
west of the Rocky mountains, has al.
ways objected to paying player who
strikes out four times out of five times
up, or who muffs the dead easy takes,
as much as he plays a player who gets
the safes or who executes the North
Pole freeze on the long flies and gloms
the shin crackers.
BY the smiling manager s new system
the players will be paid according to
their ability as manifested in each
game, the management allowing each
man so much, or filming him so much,
for the kind of play pulled off. BY this
method it will be possible for a good
player to pull down $l5 or 800 a game,
or if he stays out nights and has a day
off he may fall down to a measIy two.
bits for 2l.inning game, On the 9th,
er hand green player may pull himself
together and pack away IS or $40 a
game. The system compares favorably
with 0s Vests county salary bill, but
will probably be received more favora.

NEW HEAD TO BE NAMED
JNO. H. REYNOLDS, FORMERLY OF CONWAY, MAY BE OF
 TERED POSITION.

Little Rock, April 1.-There will be a special meeting of the board of trus. tees of the University of Arkansas ir Little Rock, April 29, at which time there will be elected a president fol the university, as we'll as dean fol the agricultural department, to sue. ceed Dr. c. F. Adams.
 It is not settled that a successor will be elected for Dr. J. H. Reynolds who has been acting president for the past year, and he may get the posi-. tion permanently, as members of the board consider the record made by him very satisfactory one. They con. slider it remarkable, especially so be- cause pr. Reynolds has been only act ing as president without power to an- ticipate the needs of the university in future years and prepare to meet them, as one holding the position per manently could do.
 There was committee appointed, consisting of Geo. B. Cook, J. D. Head, w. H. Askew and H. B. Pon- der, to look into the matter of elect ing a new president, and also the teachers of the institution, to report at the meeting to be held in Little Rock. This committee was urged to have personal talk with all men un- der consideration for the presidency Among those mentioned have been a pr. Kayser of New York, who is said to be one of the most noted educators in that state; and the former heads of Nebraka and Maine Universities, and pr. Kirkland, former chancellor ot Vanderbilt University. The commit. tee has several other prominent edu. cators under consideration. It is theil intention to elect man who vii bring students to the university.
 Members of the board, returning from the meeting held in Fayetteville last week, over which George B. Cool presided as chairman, state there vii be many new professors and instruc tors in the university next year, it be ing thought best to have new blood il the institution. In order that tn, present faculty members who are no reelected shall have time to secure other positions before next term O school, the election of teachers vii take place on April 2S.
