Boston. Dec. est has come.
Star ball players have been trembling
in their shoes since the peace pact
between the National and American
Leagues and the F'ederals has been
ratified lest their high salaries would
be Topped off. And they had reason to

Just how much Speakers salary will
be cut has not been mentioned in con-
neetion with the report. which is not a
formal statement issued by the club.
but is rather a well defined bit of Cos
sip that comes from the Red Sox
headquarters.
Speakers friends here are of the
opinion that he made a sad mistake
when he left for his home after the
world series without the Formally of
signing a new contract at the old
figures. At that time there were no
signs OF peace between organized ball
and the Feds. and Mr.. lannin was in
the throes Of the Joy he experienced
when the Red Sox trimmed Pat
Moran's pills and won the world title
and big slice Of coin of the realm for
owners as we'll as players There is
hardly any doubt. Speakers friends
declare, that had he signed new
contract then his boss would have been
tickled to death to make 1t at the old

is to be reduced. Speaker will UNI

SPIDER CANDIDATES
WILL START MONDAY

Beginning next Monday afternoon
the Richmond College basketball
squad will get down to hard work
under the watchful eye of Coach
Frank Dobson. Although most of the
prospective candidates for the Spider
qufnt have engaged in some practice,
the first call~will not be issued until
Monday, when Coach Dobson will
again assume charge of the men.
There are four letter men back this
year, they being Satterfield. Cox,
Mitchell and Wood. Cox and Mitchell
are guards: Wood is a forward. and
Dave Satterfield can play in most any
position other likely candidates for
the team this year are Bert Robbins

some of the games last season.
With the old men back and a wealth
of new material, Richmond College
