SPLIT SALARIES
PROMISED TO BE
SOFT, BUT NOT so

The plan Of letting sundry high
priced players, holders OF longtime
contracts. go 10 the "A leagues,
splitting the salaries between the
loaning and the borrowing clubs,
isn't thriving as we'll as II promised
10. The difference in opening time
between the majors and the IA cir
cults is the trouble. and the ofiicials
OF the Rochester club have just ex-
planned where the sting Is. They
got no less than eight men from the
majors, splitting the salaries. and
thought IL was q good stroke OF
business all round.
Rochester was paying Class A
prices TO the men; the major clubs,
though having 10 20 good for the
other so per cent OF the salaries,
could save nicely by carrying fewer
stars, and the players, OF course. had
no kick. as they got their money
anyhow. But on April % the Inter
national league opened up. and the
Rochester officials supposed. OF
course. that their obligations began
from that date.
Alas and oh dollars. not so. The
contracts. without exception. made
Il obligatory TO pay the men from
April IA onward. the loans OF play
ers had been made April land
therefore the International league
CLUBS had to come over with their
