Berlin. May 13.-The Imperial Ger

recreation in healthy sports, so that
the corroding influences of modern life
may, perhaps, be outweighed.
Athletics, in "A way, are fortifyinS

decided to excel as far as lies in our
power. Germany plans to spend S4OO,-
900 in training it's athletes and expects
n big popular subscription If neces-
caused by the expenses OF the actual
holding Of the games.
The only deviation from the stand
ardized contests planned is To give Al
opportunity to the German gymnas;s
which they did not have at London o.
form of exercise in Germany is shown
by the size of the national oIganZa-
ton, which has 100000 members.
Our other athletic ORGANIZATIONS are
also large. The football league has

the tennis league 10000.

the player may find himself facing "A
salary limit, and IL is probable that
salaries will be somewhat lower on an
average than they have been during
recent Years. The player will have To

men are in control of the clubs after
the war ends, is it not natural to en-
pect that they will try to even up for
the excessive salaries they are now
compelled To pay? 4 player worth
$4,000 who holds a club up for a S4,-

expect that the club-owner will not

money when he is in complete control

owner is business man and the ball
player is his employee.
