IN TIE WORLD OF SPORT
BALL CLUBS MUST
SECURE SALARIES

Chicago. Jan. 22.-August Hermann,
chairman OF the national baseball ON
mission, in his annual report, ecoTn
mended that every league bound by
the terms OF the National agreement
establish a fund to guarantee the SAL
aries of players.
Commenting on a rule of the Ohio
State league, which requires the presi-
dent to instruct every player to report
to him IL his salary is five days over
due and which provides that the play
er be paid out OF the guarantee fund,
Hermann remarked that its adoption
by other leagues would tend to de-
crease the number OF complaints filed
BY the players.
Traders at the ball players exchange
at the hotel where the American as
ISOLATION met, met a bull market. Ac-
cording to Umpire Ollie Chill OF the as
sociation, good youngsters are scarcer
than ever and that fact accounts for
the exhorbitant terms demanded by
those who hold contracts of potential
stars.
The commission expects to report or
the class IA salary limit, which the
National association proposed to set
at $4,000 a month. The question of
uniform contracts was also brought
up, a request for a rule requiring them
having been presented by President
Mike Saxton of the National associa-
1 ton.

The GORE and SCIENCE
some Would Prefer the Latter to q
Real Boxing Contest and
Lose Out.

Those who prefer gore, real red gore,
to science in a boxing game, did not
like the recent contest that was held
over. across the river in which Kossick
and Charley Lucca were the principals.
Those who had whetted their appetites
to the beef rare done point, were dis
mally disappointed. for a cleaner exhi-
bitten of boxing has never been seen
in these parts and the fact that some
who attend these bouts are continu-
ally clanloring after knockouts and
Killing, is responsible for the shut
down in Fargo. The recent contest
was one that could have been held
anywhere without ~offense, but the
hammering that followed because Kos
sick didn't Knockout his man, shows
that the ones who are using the ham,
mer absolutely do not know a boxing
contest when they see one, and among
these are some who ave been follow
ing the game for some time, N pro-
TESS to like to see clean sport.
Their were many there, however,
who paid their money, saw the contest
and were pleased with it. Lucca is a
hard man to finish in clean breaks, but
at 1913, with hitting with one arm free
Kossick hould have no trouble in dis
posing of him in less than ten rounds
and it would not be surprising If the
pride Of Moorhead would agree to do
his.

For several years past, there has
been reports emanating from Duluth

have their names made public, are also
interested in the project.
