Under the optional agreement rule
teams save the thousand or
more dollars which would have to be
paid for players in the spring and
they also lose the amount that the big
leagues would pay in plucking stars
in the fall, so that these items hardly
count either way.

Evening journal., 1913-03-01

ing conclusions
Organized baseball is too well or

salary limit
Players will lose by the salary
limit.

With a half interest in the Reading
Trl-State team, also the Chester club
on the market and some hope Of a
buyer coming to the front before the
league meeting at Harrisburg. on
March 3, little dope on the cost Of
running a Tri-State team would not
be amiss.
Very few statements have ever been
published by the cities represented
In the Tri-State, although il is known
that within the past three or four
years it required anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000 to keep team go-
ing and II is believed that under the
present salary limit and compact
circuit an owner could slip through
with an expenditure of say $4,000. .

Saving The Heifer Calves.

We need all our farmers atten-
ton called to the Importance of saw
ing the heifer calves. There is a
great shortage in beef cattle, and
still everywhere you go you see a
reckless slaughter Of young animals.
Around the cities they are killing
them for veal. In noticing the ship
ment of cattle to markets we see
many young heifers in the lot. What
we wish to do is to awaken the pub
lie conscience to the Importance of
this matter. If you have heifer
calf to sell, try to place it with a
farmer and not butcher. If you
are farming plan to have more pas
turage. to grow more feed and carry
increased head of cattle on your
farm. There is not only money in
it, but it is the wise policy to pursue.
Look around you, and help matters
in this respect. Our farmers need
to study conditions and then to work
to better them. That is what we
are here for. 1t is suicidal murder
to kill young calves, when we have
such a dearth Of cattle. If you hap
pen to have an over-supply sell them
to your neighbor, and get him in
