MINOR LEAGUERS
MUST CUT SALARIES

San Francisco. Cal. Nov. 1O.-The
National Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues gathered yesterday
for its fourteenth annual session, but
the delegates only spent ten minutes
in the convention hall, putting over
the actual business of the year until
10 o'clock this morning. An executive
session was held then. and only dele
gates were admitted.
Il expect that the regula ton of SAL
aries will be one of the problems to
come before u.s. said President Sex
ton. For several years l have been
convinced that IL would take a ca
tastrophe such as we have suffered
to bring the owners to their senses
and make them realize that they have
thrown their money away. Not alone
in salary limits, but in other expense
accounts, such as cutting down or
spring training. can we reduce.
Sexton has declared that hf would
not be a candidate for re-elsction as
president of the association. but IL is
evident from the sentiment of the del
egates that he will be forced to re-
tain that post.

VIRGINIA PREPARES
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA

Charlottesville. Va, Nov. lo.-The
virginia team did not have any thing
out thorough signal practice
wednesday afternoon. in its prepare
ton for a contest with South Caro-
lima Saturday at Columbia, s. c. The
team Is In pretty good shape, though
Mayors hip is giving him a little
trouble. but not enough to keep him
out of the game on Saturday.
Unlike most of the preceding con-
tests. the game with Vanderbilt had
no aftermath of wounded and crippled
players. The men were all in good
shape and ready to take the two re-
naming games on the local schedule
After the South Carolina contest there
is long rest until Thanksgiving.
when the annual game with North
Carolina will be staged at Richmond.
Most Of the old alumni who aided
the team in its preparation for Vandy
have gone home. but the squad or
coaches had a new addition this week
when Kemper Yancey. of 1911 fame.
Joined the squad and showed IL some
of the intricate gridiron points which
he used to do so we'll himself.
South Carolina has a very strong
team this season and is looked on here
as a rather more formidable opponent
than her North Carolina neighbor.
The Columbia team has defeated
North Carolina A. and NJ, which in
turn trimmed the Navy, so this would
put South Carolina in a pretty high
football position. But with Mayer. Ed
Anderson. Spar and BerkeIy. Coach
Warner does not anticipate much diff
nculty from her.

ing preparations for the local gridiron
classic here Saturday afternoon in the
Hilltop stadium, when the Blue and Gray
warriors meet the A. e NJ. team from
North Carolina. This will be the second
contest this season for the HIlltoppers

the MidshIpmen at Annapolis.
The Tar Heel Aggies defeated the Navy
eleven by Il to L.. while Georgetown held
them scoreless and squeezed across a
touchdown and a drop-kick. Since the
Aggies-Navy game II Is claimed that
Heagerty's eleven has shown a marked
improvement and is being primed for this
contest.

HILTON team at top speed since the game
with Fordham in an effort to haze IL in
tiptop shape for this contest. The squad
has been practicing behind closed gates
for the past week. and the longest and
hardest scrimmage OF the season was
held yesterday.
The second string players were given the
Carolina plays and the varsity showed
a great defense at breaking up the
forward heave and of tackle PUSHES
used by the scrubs. The defense put ur
BY the varsity was the best witnessed
this season in the scrimage practices.
Hard work in preparation for this con
test Is now finished as Coach Exendine has
mapped out a long signal drill and black
board talks for the rest of the week.
