Mr.. Jones says that his financial
failures are not due to the Federal

is that Lincoln will not support base

paid in the Western league And
Lincoln's trouble in this respect is a
chronic one throughout the league
The solution OF the problem that
has been proposed and that most
baseball authorities seem to think is
the only one is to reduce the maxi
mum club salary payrolls and shorten
the schedule from 1853 to 145 games.
