Seven OF the deaths may have been due

Expect Changes in American
Association and Western
League.

Omaha. Neb., Nov. 10. - A
horizontal reduction of twenty per
cent in the salary limit paid by minor
league clubs was the recommendation
of the committee on constitutional re-
vision. 1t was adopted as far as it o n
cerned Class A and Glass B leagues.
Leagues in Glass AA were permitted
to revise their salary lists as fitted
their convenience, and leagues in the
C. and ID classes We're given another
day in which to agree on a limit that
would be satisfactory to them, and re-
port tomorrow.
The recommendation of the commit
tee followed an address by Chairman
Garry Hermann, Of the National
commission, in which he said tina or
ganized baseball leagues should have
salary limits which would be in keep
ing with the gate receipts.
Hermann reviewed last years dis
astrous financial operation of the
baseball business and asserted that
immediate and drastic action was ne
cessary for the preservation of organ
lied baseball.
There must be a greater economy
in the operation of the business de-
partment Of the National SPORT he
said; there must be established a
salary limit which will be in accord
with the gate receipts. The time is
past when Angels can be called upon
to support the business. The small
est minor is entitled to the same pro-
lection that is accorded the greatest
major league. The salary limit should
be established not to fit the gate re-

GOPHER COLLEGES
IN FINAL

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 1.-TWO
Minnesota college football games this
week wind up the championship chase
in the state college circle. Carleton
clashes with Hamline on the latter
teams field Saturday while Manchester
and st. Thomas battle on Shaw field
Friday afternoon. The games close
the season for Manchester, Carleton
and Hamline. st. Thomas has one
more contest.
The Mac-St. Thomas game promises
to be a hummer. The Mac eleven has
been developing steadily all season
until the McGovern team is expected
to be able'to play the Cadets on even
terms. The Mac outfit has two back
fields. One carries the ball on the line
plunges and plays a running game.
The other set plays almost entirely an
open game. SO McGovern is prepared
to meet the O'Rourke eleven on any
sort of grounds.
Hamline is expected to have but lit
tie to say in regard to the outcome Of
it's game Saturday. Carleton has been
piling up big score on it's opponents
in every game. Hamline has been Of
ten beaten and had to work hard even
to win its early games. The dope has
been upset so often, however, when
Carleton and Hamline meet that in
terest Is as high as v e in the game
and the Red and Gray rooters even
hope for victory.

PARK RIVER NOW
ACCUSED Of FEAR
afraid of the Cars" is the
Expression That Goes
Around.
RULES ARE OF
LITTLE CONSEQUENCE
State Athletic Body Has no
Authority to Declare the
Football Champion.
(By Benz

1t Is unfortunate that the Park
River-Cavalier squabble should sing
curtain for the North Dakota high
school football season. These ath-
letic scraps do no good, and some-
times they gum the cards in a most
tantaltzing fashion.
In this case. Park River will suffer
more han Cavalier. BY refusing to
play Cavalier-either on their home
grounds or in Grand Forks-the Park
River authorities invited the charge
that they ARE afraid" 1t is useless
for them to argue that they are not,
for their statements will cut about as
much figure as a wife-beaten male in
a council Of female voters.
Park River declines to play the
game on the grounds that the Cavalier
team is not a member of the state
games under strict eligibility rules.
Why bubble owe the state league
and its rules? When it comes down
to q matter of the league that or
g~anization has nothing to say about
high school football. Its board Of
control has no authority to declare
a state championship team. About
basketball. 1t has adopted an excel
lent scheme for settling the champion
ship in that sport. but. SO far as any
one knows, it has undertaken no
plans for regulating football.
The team with the best record al
ways has held the title, but each year
there has been more. or less trouble
about it. This year is no exception.
JUS at present, Park River has the
better claim. but there Is the Cavalier
matter. The latter team remains un-
defeated, and they feel that they have
just as good a claim to the state title
as Park River. On a comparative
score and seasons showing basis,
Park River has the better of it, but
both these methods of determining
g. championship are as worthless as a
phony check when it comes to filing
the family larder.
League eligibility rules are unneces-
sary in high school football, unless
the league has absolute control over
this sport and has the authority t
declare a winner. The only thing to
consider is whether or not the play
ers are bona fide students and quail
fled. by virtue of their scholastic
standings. to play. If they are, there
is no need to worry.
II. E.. Callahan. superintendent of
tho Cavalier schools, says his players
are all students in the best standing
and perfectly qualified to p!:-.
II tney re-an tnere Is no reason
to doubt Mr.. Callahan-Park River
should stand no longer upon the go
ing and coming of the state league.
And the Park River authorities also
r overlooking the fact that the
game with Cavalier was formally
scheduled, each team having. agreed
to meet in the Pembina county e
on Saturday, November IA.
AS the matter stands. Cavalier has
not been defeated. Until they are.
they have a grimy thumb in the
championship pie.
And in the meantime. Park River,
which is Justify claiming the titular
honors, Is accused Of being afraid of
the a And their actions coax the
'fraidie-cat finger of the other stu
dents. '"'.

BIG REDUCTION IN SALARY LIMIT
AND NUMBER Of PLAYERS IS SOUGHT

ceipts of the biggest club in the
league, but rather gauged by the In
come of the smallest"
Hermann old OF his conference
with FEDERAL league officials, n said
all his talks have been in an individ-
ual capacity and not official.
Schedule is Presented.
The schedule OF salary limits was
then presented by Judge Kavanaugh
of Little Rock. chairman Of the COM
mittee on constitutional revision. 1t
recommended the following limits:
Glass AA. $1,000 per month; class
A. Southern association. $4,000; West
ern league, $500: class B 1000;
class G, $1,000! class ID, $1,000. These
of players: Glass AA. 90 for first
twenty days and Is during season;
class A.. 26 and Is; class 3, "a and
IA; class c, 90 and ~; class D, 90
and IL.
Because the Federal league had
clubs in w American association
cities, representatives of that league
objected to their salary limit being
made public and club wner were
limit should be.
Delayed Till Today.
Animated discussion over the limits
of class c and D resulted in the case
going yer until today. Several rep
resentatives of these small minors
said they would be unable to exist
with the proposed limitation on them,
especially as it had to do with sal
aries. Glasses A and B made no pro-
test n the limitations We're accepted.
An important amendment was a
provision adopted for at least one
executive session at each annual meet
ing of h association. This pro-
vision was adopted, 1t was stated, to
provide an opportunity for league Of
ficials and club owners to thresh out
their grievances without the details
being mad public.
There was considerable general talk
outside the convention Of what may
be expected to result from further
conferences between members of the
national commission and officials Of
the Federal league. 1t seemed to be
the general impression hat some
changes would be made in the per-
sonnet Of boil the American associa-
ton and Western league, although no
definite action was taken by the asso-
citation itself.
Springfield Franchise Removed.
President Tearney the
of the Three-[ league to Rock Island.
The indebtedness of the Springfield
team will be absorbed by the bust
ness men Of Rock Island. it was said,
and the team put on a substantial
financial footing.
In h Central league. which it Is
proposed to raise from six to eight
clubs, it was stated there were several
applications for franchises. They will
not be granted until a satisfactory
distribution OF territory can be ar
ranged.
The Northwestern league probably
will not play baseball next year. The
European war has made baseball con-
ditions in hat territory such. as tc
prevent the successful operation OF
the league in 1915. Permission was
given the league to retain it's standing
IN the National association without
playing next season.
