wedding OUT OF
PLAYERSTOCOMES
Men Without Long Con-
tracts Ttemble for
Their Jobs
WILL "CAN" AT
LEAST 800 MEN

There will be an early wedding out
of surplus ball players in the two
major leagues this spring, according
to an official of authority in baseball
circles. Conservative estimates place
the number of ball playefs who will
be out Of work this season at 800, and
this does not appear TO be eXagger-
ated. Allowance will have to be made
of course. for the number of men
turned back to the clubs whence they
came. but when the American, Ma
tional and Federal Leagues cut loose
the men they cannot use the minor
leagues will become overcrowded and
there will be lot of players cast
adrift as free agents.
The outlook appears anything but
bright for the ball player who must
now suffer along with the club owner
as the result OF conditions brought on
by the baseball war and the general
depression of business throughout the
country.
Players realize this as keenly as
anyone and those who arc not protect
ed by ironclad contracts good for two
or three years are sure to feel the
effects of the rules adopted by the
major leagues regulating the my

to worry through this season or next
but there are several hundred players
who are not so fortunate. and these
men will be compelled to suffer fol-

GOVERNOR MAY NAME
sussex CONSTABLES

GEORGETOWN. Del. April L.
When the Sussex County Levy Court
failed on Tuesday 10 appoint any
constables for the county. they not
only left the county without officers
of Jaw in each district. but In the
opinion of legal authority lost their
right 10 make future appointment,
Il is claimed that the Governor can
now proceed 10 appoint constables.
Such action would probably be agree
able To the hve Republican members
of the ien-man Levy Court, who have
been unable TO get tie vote because
in such case the Republican clerk of
the peace could then cast the decid-
ing vote. The Democratic members
have east blank ballots and there has
been no legal tie vote.
