Will President Norris l. O'Neill en-
force the salary limit IN the Western
League this season? ~
This question is being discussed
around about town these days and q
number Of close followers Of the game
are Of the opinion that he will not.
Enforcing salary limit in the
Western League is a standing joke" a
local fan said recently. 1T has been
joke for the past few years and there
is no reason to believe it will be any
thing else this year. In fact, the re-
cent statement of President O'Neill to
the effect that only one club lost money
last season indicates that he is not
casting many lingering glances in the
direction of the retrenchment ditches.
There is some feeling here that lack
of confidence in the enforcement of the
salary limit rule is standing in the way
of a Topeka team. No statement, how
ever, has been made by the local mag
mates to this effect But. men who
claim to know duck from bucket as
sert that the salary limit rule was made
with a view of coaxing the Topeka and
Wichita clubs to stick around another
season.
Everyone comedies that President
O'Neill has the power to make all the
clubs support teams on the same size
bank roll But. judging from the pre-
i1mlnary actions OF some OF the cluD
magnates, it would seem that the
Doubling Thomases have some solid
grounds upon which OF build their
doubts.
Pessimists in the sport game can now
take their hammers and beat it to the

case this season. The Braves are stuck

port of the dual monarchy has been
the Italians objective since the out
break of the war.
Fierce fighting amid conditions
akin to modern warfare, character
lied the clashes along the northern
slope, where the highest peak of
Montenero has been taken by the
Italian troops, after scaling precipi-
tous heights and performing feats of
mountain climbing under heavy fire.
Climbing and creeping from crag to

another, the Italians finally rushed
the mountain top. In gaining it, they
have secured a position where their
heavy artillery will not only COM
mand Polmino and Plezzo, but where
they dominate a territory that will
make the complete conquest OF the
Isonzo valley certainty.
Austrians Surprised.
Austrian positions elsewhere are
imperilled by this situation and the
populace is expecting almost hourly
to hear the capture of Gorilla and
Malborghetto. The artillery long
range attack upon the latter has
taken the, Austrians utterly by SUR
prise and they had no opportunity to
prepare big gun emplacements be-
fore the Italian artillery was
pounding upon them. The colossal
labor required to bring the Italian
artillery into action was amazing.

mountains was so precipitous that
hauling was impossible.
