New London last season by the

Players Won't Stay Traded.

the present moment, due to the antics
of the four players who were traded
by Boss Doom to Montreal. OF these
four, just four say they will not re-

latest to announce his intention of
leaving baseball rather than report
to Montreal is Harry INLAY, the man
who graduated from Penn in spit
balling and dentistry. Inlay spent
part of last season with the Phillies,
but was supposed to be traded to
Montreal during the winter for more

Barringer game is a New Jersey In

der which this subsidy is allowed are:
The flier must be insured: he must reach
an altitude of at least 800 feet. remain
ing at that height for at least fifteen
minutes: the receiving of a prize of any
kind binds the aviator to place himself
at the disposal of the military author
tiles in case of war and to participate in
three weeks military practice. The mill
tary aviators are hardly as we'll satis-
fed, as instead of being given money
prizes they are awarded trophies. with
the result that a good many penniless
lieutenants are hardly contented with the
system. Any aviator who makes con-
tinuous flight of six hours or more is
entitled to a monthly sum of 500. in ad
dition to his other prizes. but his total
receipts may not exceed in any case the
sum of $500 annually. while he loses
the monthly income in case his record is
beaten.
