Good Financial Basis

NEW YORK, April 16-Launching
of the New York and New Jersey
League, recently organized, was as
sured yesterday with the filing of
bonds of 81 900 each by the leagues
six clubs. Paterson and Long Branch,
N. J.. and Middletown, Kingston,

This amount covers $500 posted to
cover half the players salary limit,
as required under the rules of the
National Association of Minor
Leagues, and $500 as a guarantee of
good faith. Danbury, Conn, and

DETROIT, Mich, April 16.-Diseip-
line. not money,zis the all-important
question at issue in the dispute be-
tween the Detroit American League
Baseball Club and its star outfielder,
Tyrus Cobb, who is now under sus-
pension because he refused to ae-
cept the terms of the 1918 contract
rendered him by President Navin.
This declaration was made by Mr..
Navin today in a signed statement.
1t is understood that $500 is the
amount involved in the monetary sti-
pend. The statement follows:
1.-THE difference between Mr.. Cobb
and the Detroit Baseball Club is not
over a matter of money. There are
fundamental principles involved
principles of discipline recognized in
all walks of life.
1T is conceded by everybody that
Mr.. Cobb is the best ball player in
the world. And Mr.. Cobb is also the
best paid ball player in the world.
But this is not the issue.
Mr.. Cobb did not make baseball;
baseball made him. A player cannot
be bigger than the game which
creates him. To give in to Mr.. Cobb
now in his present attitude would be
to concede that he is greater than
the game itself. for he has set all its
laws at defiance.
Mr.. Cobb instead of reporting for
spring practise and giving the club
the benefit of his knowledge and his
play, organized a transforming team
and went through the South starring
himself, with daily ultimatums to the

Will Harry Smith, trust buster

nopoly?
That is one of the vital questions
which local fans will be able to solve
before many moons. when Smith as

are put TO the fighting test.
The International League just as
the National League has a mana

president, Joe Kelley vice president

works. Between this trio the old
Eastern League and the new Inter-

work his seconds got him around for
the third round
From that tine on until the end of
the fight Drseoll took an awful beat

hanging on kept Kline from getting
over the money punch. With the
fight safe in his favor Kline cut out
the swings and eontented himself al

the rest of the fight. He had Dris-

round and kept pecking away at it

He used one-two punch that
never failed TO send Driscolls head
back and once in a while would cut
loose a swing, but could not land
hard on the jaw as Driscoll was
either clinchlng or running away

Driscol complained that Kline was
trying to foul him and continued to
protest throughout the fight. Kline

Would Boost Hunters License

HARRISBURG, Pa, April To-
Senator Sones, of Lycoming county,
will introduce in the Senate Dill
providing that nonresident hunters
pay a license of $50 year instead OF
$40, under the present law. 1t is said

tier counties are in favor of such
law In New York State $50 is eX-
acted from nonresident hunters.
Hunters from New York State step
ming across the line into Pennsyl-
vania are asked to pay only $40,
while Pennsylvania hunters going
into New York State are compelled
to pay a $50 license fee.
