That the countrys baseball craft

Did you ever hear of an established

sponge Just because the receipts were
falling off under certain conditions.
"The idea of cutting the players
salaries during the season is absurd.
You haven't heard any American
League owner making a kick, have
YOU? You are not likely to, either. We
are going to meet our obligations
business or no business. The trouble
with a lot of owners is that they
commit themselves too deeply, and
when receipts begin to slump they
blame the conditions existing at that
precise moment"
"If Garry is kicking because Of

management has been bad said Pres
ident Ban Johnson. Hermann
should cheer up. The American
League is not making any holler.
Hermann was wrong in giving out that
