NO MORE LONG CONTRACTS
Major League Ball Players to 3,
Hired for Short Terms

Major League Ball Players to Be
Hired for Short Terms
One of the most important topics
to be discussed at the National and
American league meetings in New
York this week is new form of con-
tract to control the players. Some of
the progressive magnates believe
that the players contracts should GOV
er period of twelve months, so that
stars OF the diamond will be able to
draw salary all the year round.
Many of the long term, ironclad con
tracts, which majority of the play
ers in organized baseball obtained
when the Feds begain their raids two
years ago, have expired. 1t is admit
ted by magnates that these contracts
resulted in heavy financial losses and
that the players, sure Of their money,
became Indifferent to the success of
their teams. re avoid further delc-
its and to force the players to show
greater energy on the ball field, a
movement is on foot TO have the rival
major leagues adopt what is known
as the short co tract containing
the ten days release notice and the
option clause, which were considered
necessary evils before the Feds took
the field.
If this radical move is adopted the
magnates, who favor the plan, say
that the players will not desert them;
that the players already realize the
harm done to the national pastime by
the baseball war and that the dia
mond experts are free to admit that
old conditions must be restored be
fore the sport can be operated again
on paying basis. The magnates,
who advocate the short contract, in
sist that the players know that they
have been overpaid and that they are
willing to accept reduced salaries.
The adoption OF twelve months
contract is also advocated as a check
on the players who, during the of
season. take part in football, basket
ball and hockey games at the risk of
receiving injuries which may perma
nently cripple them. The club own
ers also feel that something should
be done to prevent ball players from
squandering their money during the
summer.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Members Of National Committee Sci
Getting the Date

CStihS VIC bdtC
Washington, Dec. 13-Sentiment
began to develop today in the Repub-
lican national committee in favor OF
holding the Republican convention
before the Democrats meet to choose
a presidential candidate, The Demo
cratic convention will begin in st.
Louis June Il.
The committee will meet in formal
session here tomorrow to decide the
time and place for holding the Repub-
lican convention. Members who want
an early convention favor having the
party get all the political advantage
it can by holding the first convention.
Those who favor date after the
Democratic convention contend the
Republican party should not frame
its lines of attack until Democrats
made their nominations. Another
argument used against the proposal
for an early convention is that sew
eral states hold primaries for the cleo
ton of convention delegates in June.
ak ABOUT lie convention Clly WdS
largely divided today between Chi
cago, St. Louis, and San Francisco.
Philadelphia, some of the committee
seemed to feel, was virtually out of
the race. San Francisco showed
strength today that surprised many
members and 1t was understood that
st. Louis might throw her votes to
the Pacific coast city in case it was
apparent that st. Louis could not get
the convention. Much of the opposi-
ton to Chicago is based on the fact
that 1t was there that the party was
split in 1912.

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING
FOR THE SMALL MERCHANT

Here is a good story from the Terre
Haute Qnd) Tribune worth minute
OF any business mans time and that
any publisher can afford to reprint
because of the suggestion it contains
for prospective advertisers. 1t appears
that florist in Pittsburgh grew tired
Of standing around waiting for bust
ness to come to him. While his roses
wilted and lost their bloom he pom
dered over the problem. Many plans
were presented to him. He devised
many schemes of his own. But when
he sifted them to the bottom he saw
which way his mind turned it en-
countered advertising, but knowing
nothing about advertising, he consid-
cred it impossible on account Of his
preconceived idea regarding expense.
He finally sought the advice of a
small merchant who constantly used
the newspapers in a modest way.
How can advertise my flowers
successfully" he asked.
The small merchant thought mo-
ment and then suggested: why don't
you sell-eyery Saturday. box Of
flowers for dollar? Offer something
different each week. Give more flow
ers for dollar than anyone in Pitts
-burgh ever heard of and see that
they are fresh and attractive"
"I'll do it," declared the florist, as
he hurried away to prepare for his
first sale.
That was three years ago. Today
that once discouraged florist sells
more flowers than all the other flor
lists in Pittsburgh put together Thou
sands of those dollar boxes find their
way into the homes of the Iron City
each week. Hundreds are shipped to
customers in the surrounding terri
tory Today that florist is big, but he
Is growing bigger. He is rich but he
is growing richer. He is firm be-
lever in newspaper advertising.
