1t is this fact which gives organized
base ball a chance also to cut its pay

chance to at least break even if they
do not figure high in the pennant races.
Smart ball players realize that con-
tinuance of the eXorbitant salaries will
mean the killing of the goose which
lays the golden eggs, and they are
willing to stand for a cut rather
than see the game deteriorate to such
an extent that salaries will go lower
still.
The Feds are to discard former
greats, according to Jim Gilmore. This
refers to that element of players who,
while in the waning moments of their

These cannot only be signed at low

But only a decidedly small percentage
of the players who come up from the
minors ever make good. 1t is, there
fore. very likely that if many Of the
teams are supplied with this class Of
material that the Feds will strengthen
the charge that they are not of major
league caiiber, and their chances of
being successful in cities where they
have major league opposition will be
decidedly slim.

again. This time the recruit made

tried everything he had, but he simply
could not prevent that big fellow from
hitting. And Addie was good that day,
the rest of the Nationals being unable
to do anything with Cleveland's pre-
mier hurler.
Washington had visions of having
another Ed Delehanty upon its roster,
