BONUS SYSTEM
TO EQUALIzE
BALL SALARIES
Suggestion Made That Players
Be Paid for What They Act
uaIIy Do on Diamond
tBy Latest Mall

NEW YORK, N. "a part bonus
and part straight salary system in the
baseball players contracts would do
much to correct some of the present
salary injustices of baseball.
At the present time many magnates
are bewailing the fact that some of
their stars who are drawing fat salar-
les under long-term, iron-clad con-
tracts arc not giving them their best
efforts, while some of the young play
ers who are outbatting and outfield-
ing the veterans are bowling because
they are tied to contracts that call
for only one-half or one-third of the
salary that is paid to the high-priced
shirkers.
This condition could pc remedied for
all time by paying to each player a
fixed salary, of small amount each
Year and putting schedule of bonuses
in his contracts, which would enable
him to get paid for what he really is
worth.
One suggestion concretely is this:
Fix standard salary for each play
er somewhere around $500 or $4,000 a
year, which sum the player is to get
no matter how his work shows up.
Then arrange bonus system that is
applicable to each branch of base.
ballers.
In the case OF pitchers, bonus of
$1,000 could go to all pitchers finishing
the season with an average of 500
or better, $500 bonus money to the
men winning 60 per cent of their
games, $4,000 bonus to the men win
ming two-thirds of their games, $4,000
bonus to men winning three-fourths,
of their games, $4,000 bonus to men
finishing with mark above $50.
Paid For His Work.
In this way a pitcher would get
paid for what he did during the pre-
sent season-not on his record OF
several seasons before. And in this
way a kid pitcher would have as fair
a chance to get big money as the vet.
eran. All the kid would need to do
would be to win games.
Pitchers could be given a small
bonus for batting and fielding above
certain amount, but should not be al
lowed to figure in the general bonus
of other players for fielding and bat.
ting.
0utfielders, infielders and catchers
could be guaranteed $4,000 a year and
would earn their bonuses by their
fielding and batting stunts. Here is
schedule of bonuses that would sug-
hnk :.

outflelders and catchers.
Penalty System.

-
A penalty system could be so that a
player who batted under minimum
figure or who fielded under a mini
mum figure would suffer deductions
from the bonus earned in the other
department For instance IL a player
hit .295 he would be entitled to $1,000
bonus money, but If he fielded only
800 he would be subject to deduc.
ton of $3.50 from the bonus earned in
batting.
If a player didn't earn any bonuses
and hit and fielded below the mini
mum no deductions are to be made,
as the $4,000 straight salary would be
immune from deductions.
With our bonus system in operation
an infielder who hit for 1926 and field
ed .965 would get $1,000 bonus for
batting and $1,000 bonus for fielding,
making total salary of $4,000. That
system seems to be fair one.
Bonuses also could be arranged
whereby a player would get SIS for
every stolen base, IS for each player
participating in double play and SIS
for each player participating in a
triple play. outfielders could be given
an extra IS or $40 for every man
thrown out at the plate or at one Of
Che bases and catehers could be given
small bonus for every man thrown
out in an attempt to steal base.
A bonus system of this sort would
spur the players on to greater endeav.
or. They would know that only by
hustling would they grab off big
salary. There wouldn't be any loafing
Every man would play every minute of

DIAPHANOUS
HABILIMENTS.

Monsignor Gavotti, archbishop Of
Genoa, has issued pastoral letter
to the clergy and laity of his diocese
deploring the indecency of the gar
ments worn by both ladies and work
ing women which, he says, constl-
tute the gravest offense against
chastity.
"What is worse" he writes, lis
that these costumes are worn even
at Communion. l deem it positive
duty of the bishops and priests to
act strongly against these modern
summer fashions. Personally, l have
already publicly rebuked some Of
these women and will, continue to do
so even more severely. In the future
also. | will refuse to administer
Communion and will not allow to act
as godmothers women scandalously
dressed"
The letter concludes by inviting
the mothers and confessors to dis
courage the use of transparent gar
mentS.
Solomon tells US there is nothing
new under the sun, and the attire
ment of women of today is but rem
naissance of fashion fads antedatlng
the day of Homer. Transparent cloth
ing was worn by women in Egypt
before the days of Moses, according

hooks on the Bible. His comment on
the action of Zuleika, wife OF Poti-
phar, towards Joseph the young he

been started in antediluvian days.
The observations made by Hero

COMMERCIALIZED
QUARREL.

..Et tn, Brute" was uttered "a
long time ago by one who had rea-
son to exclaim, Deliver me from my
friends!" During the past two weeks
many pens have been set in motion
by the action of William Jennings
Bryan in Indicating his post as Sec
rotary of the State at time wnen
members of the two great political
parties Of the country were vieing IN
unfolding the hands of Presiden:
Wilson at one of the most critical
junctures in the history of our ma
ton. Republican papers seem to b.
especially severe upon the former
secretary, as they unhesitatlngiy
aver that the Nebraskan is endeavor
Ing to make political capital at the
eypense of the President who is so
ably handling the most delicate mat
ter that has come to the hand OF any
executive since the country left Brl-
ttania's apron strings.
The Baltimore American, repub-
lican organ, under the heading Com
mercialized Quarrel. says:
civilian Jennings Bryan has COM
mercialized almost everything IN his
political career and made great gain
bv using the materials collected
through his varied experience with
nut much regard for the properties
or the taste Of so doing. He ad'
hered to the lecture platform when
he accepted the post of Secretary Of
State and did not hesitate to fold to
his dates when the public felt that
his attention was critically important
for matters pending in his office.
"a lecture lyceum manager says
that the former secretary can ne:
$4,000 upon the lecture platform
where he will have ample opportunity
to mold public opinion at the same
time that he earns phenomenal re-
venues. So that tie break of the sec
rotary from his chief may mean INC
minting, of money from the CONNER
cialized quarrel and such other plat
form materials as he may care TO
rive forth to his admiring chautau'
qua audiences.
"The commercial instinct is not dor
mant in Mr.. Bryan and while no one
doubts his benevolences, the Ameri-
can people have not taken kindly &c
his utilization of time that ought 20
have been officially employed, for the
making of money, nor will 1t take
kindly to his commercializing the dif-
fcrences that created the DIVISION
