The supposition is that the Athletics
salaries have risen beyond the limits
which Mack knows he can pay, ana
consequently he proposes to get RID OF
some of his high salaried material.
Philadelphia papers predict that the
s1OO. 900 infield will be broken up be-
fore another season starts. when
probably refers to the going OF Col
Inns.
The fans have not yet recovered
from the surprise occasioned by the
relea sing OF Plank and Bender. not to
speak of Coombs. Plank got in dis
favor with Mack last spring. Mack
had sent the southpaw a contract call
ing for $4,000. Plank had an offer OF
$500 from the Brooklyn Feds and
naturally refused to sign at Mack
figures. Mack finally consented to
raise Plank's pay to $4,000, which the
player accepted, but Mack complained
bitterly of being held UP by Plank
Plank admits he was approached by
the Feds again this year. and it was
after he had told Mack about it that
the latter asked for waivers on his
three veteran pitchers whom he has
since given their unconditional re-
lease.
While no details are obtainable as
to how peace is to be brought about
in base ball, the fact that Chairman
Hermann has been comforting with
Owner Weeghman of the Chicago Feds
seems to give assurance that some
thing is under way which will i'll time
clear the present discouraging condi
lions in base ball There is not the
slightest doubt that both sides of the
struggle are willing to get together
Both have suffered heavy financial
losses, and both realize that the future
is not bright with the game suffering
from the effects of the war.
1t is. of course. going to be no easy
matter to arrange the peace compact.
There are many different angles to be
Strengthened out. Both sides will have
to make concessions, and this is par
ticularly true of organized base ball.

"" BOYS START PRACTICE.
First Tryout for Basket Ball Will
Be Held Tomorrow.

All boys expecting to try out for the
various basket ball teams of the Y. NJ
c. A. have been requested to report
ready for initial practice Tuesday night
at S:15 O'Clock at the Boys building
This years team is expected to be the
best ever in its class, and the boys
coming out need to be hustlers and
need to report the first night in order TO
get the jump on the other man. as
practice in earnest is going to start
right Off.

But peace will prove beneficial at any
cost, for another season or two of war
and the game may be done irrepa-
rable injury.
For the first time since there mas
been talk of peace in base ball there
are no denials from Jim Gilmore. which
may indicate that he has at last been
let in on what is really planned. Nat
urally, it Is essential that these peace
negotiations be carried on with as lit
tie noise as possible. To make any
thing public at this time might prove
a iletriment to the proposition. and for
this reason those most vitality inter-
ested are holding their tongues.
In the event of the base ball war con-
I tinuing. organized base ball proposes
TO go into the courts to have the new
contracts passed upon. This contract
gives the player portion of his salary
for the privilege that the club may
sign him the following year. 1t is the
contention that this makes the reserve
clause legal. and organized base ball
claims to have the assurance of the
best legal talent to this effect.
Walter Johnson is signed TO such a
contract In all, it called for a salarr
Of $4,000. but something like s3.oeo
was paid him for an option he gave the
club on his services next season. II
is believed that this contract would
make it impossible for Johnson to
carry out any contract he might make
with the Federal League. as the courts
would be expected to permanently en-
join him. -

Course Pleased Vardon.

Ever since Harry Warden returned to
England after his visit to the United
States in 1913 and reported that the
Detroit course was the best that ne
had seen in this country the interest
of the golfing public in the Michigan
links has been keen and every eastern
golfer who visits Detroit is besieged
upon his return with inquiries about
the Country Club. Nardou's praise has
been the best possible Endorsement, and
golfers everywhere are anxious to hear
about the course.
The new Detroit course was laid out
for the most part by Harry S. Colt,
the most prominent of British golf
course architects. No attempt was
made to complete the course when it
was first opened, the club adopting the
view that the details should be at
tended to gradually and as result
of experience instead of theory. y
number of new traps have been in
stalled during the past season i'll places
where they were found to be neces-
sary. and more will be put in next
year. as the club intends to continue
its policy of gradual development.
The total length Of the course, which
is at Gross. Point Farms, near De

FANS IN KEEN DEBATES
OVER ACTION OF MACK
Believed That Other American
League Teams Will Claim
Bender and Plank.

PHILADELPHIA. November THE
news that Connie Mack had asked
waivers on Bender. Plank and Coombs
caused warm debates among the fans
yesterday.
1t is believed that several American
League teams Will at once claim Ben
der and Plank. and negotiate with the
Athletics for their releases. While the
two veterans are through here, they
still have base ball ability in them,
and would strengthen the stats of sew
eral ma jor league teams
Teams like Boston, New York, Chi
cago and Washington. it is believed,
will make a hard fight for Bender and
Plank. Should Walter johnson jump
to the Federals Washington probably
will redouble efforts to land them.
There probably won't be the same
anxiety to get Jack Coombs, as pros
pective purchasers will demand to
know whether he is physically fit TO
take his turn on the hill.
