flying upside down in an aeroplane

ing safety in the air A short time
later he enhanced his reputation for
daring by performing for the first time
by any aviator the feat of looping

received the decoration Of the Legion
of Honor.
Several times since the outbreak of
the war Pegoud has come into notice.
On Aug. 20 he returned to Paris from

 PLAYERS TO GET
 BIC SALARY GUT


 Every player in the International league has received 8 circular letter from President Edward G. Barrow notifying him that the league will not be able to pay the high salaries which most of the players drew last season. The letter is a tip that all the players may expect a cut in salary before the season opens.
 The letter also notifies the players that the National Commission has giv- en permission to the league to extend the time for sending out contracts to March l. this month of grace be- ing granted on account of the un- settled condition Of the league
 It was stated that the project of transferring the Jersey City club to Syracuse would probably not be real ized, as the New York State league is making a big demand for the sarren- der of it's territory to the ternation- al league. It is said that the New York State league wants $25,0O for the Syracuse territory. This de- mand is out of the question, accord ing to the league officials President F,ogarty stated yesterday that he favored a, scheme to transfer the Jersey City club to West PhiIadel- pkia a, large section of the Quaker city which has no ball park. President Fogarty is also consi dering a prop dtion to go to Schnectady.

MANAGER OF
 PIRATES RICH
 ON WHEAT RISE

Kansas City Febl 5-rhe price. of wheat came near hitting the ceiling this week. Every modern price of that grain, saving is1 two instances only, was left behi1id,$ and Fred c. Clarke, manager Of tsthe Pittsburgh National League Baseball Club, far 1ner and mill oN6peF, prodtedz nightly by each upward step.
 Fred, who owns nearly 1000 acres of fine Kansas land, is also half owner of one of the largest flour mills in his home State, and six months ago he saw the coming rise in the price of wheat. This foresight, it is said. .re7 suited in Clarke and his partner. an1assing a. mighty stock of the grain, their store very recently being said to be something like 200, 900 bushels.
 Little of this, however, was bought for speculative purposes. Still, with the advance in the price of wheat and the resultant higher price of flour, the manager cannot help but profit-and that's just what he is doing.

GET TO SAVANNAH
 ON MARCH 1

 New York. Feb. 5-danager Bill yesterday from the south and sent out notices to all his players to re- port at the training camp at Savan- nah. Ga, on March 1. The Yankees will share the baseball park with the Savannah club of the Southern As sociation Manager Donovan says that the weather at the southern city is ideal for training purposes and he hopes that his men will get in four weeks of hard practice before coming north.
 Business Manager Harry Sparrow is now making out the schedule of exhibition games and expects to ar range several dates with major league clubs while at Savannah, Among other teams, the Yankees will play a series of spring games with the Chica.- go Cubs It is also probable that the Yankees will play a series with the Brooklyn club at Daytonar Fla, and two games will probably be played with the Dodgers at Ebbets- Field be- fore the opening of the season.
 The sale of Outfe1der Hugh High and First Baseman Pipp to the Yan- kees was completed yesterday, and it is stated that President NaYin of De- troit received about $5,o00 for each player.
 Duke Farrell, the old catcher, had a conference with Manager Donovan last night and the veteran catcher may be engaged to coach the young pitchers on the Yankee staff. Farrell held this position a few years ago The Yankees have no veteran coach

The chances of the Eastern asso- citation adopting the split season schedule look exceedingly slim in view of the position taken yesterday by the New England league, which rejected the split season idea Unless both leagues adopt the same kind of a, schedule it would be difficult for. them to play the post season series which has been agreed upon for a term of years.
 The split season plan is to have the first half of the schedule close in July and then have the clubs start all over again. A different club might finish first in each half of the sched- ule and in that case the winners would play week or ter. days on the season and would conflict with the series with the New England pennant winner. President O'Rourke of the Eastern association wrote a few days ago to President Murnane of the New England league asking him to advocate the split season schedule, but evidently Murnane was not successful
