Credit for the remarkable success of
Harvard foot ball, and the care
exercised in it's development. has been
justly given to Haughton and he may
play an important part in the game
which he has just entered-in an exec
utive way, at least.
Just how base ball would be benefited
by the abolishment of the national
commission is not clear. The game
has prospered ever since the commits
sion has been in charge, barring. of
course, the past two years. when the
war was on and exorbitant salaries
prevailed The very fact that the world
series games are played under the
supervision of the commission. has
given the public confidence in the hon.
esty of these series.
Incidentally the commission has done
much for the best interests of the game
and the bail players. The players in
the old days. when the board of di-
rectors of the National League heard
they have under the commission S
regime.
There are going to be lot of special
days during the coming base ball sea-
son. There. were a lot of these oc-
casions during the season of 1915. when
the magnates never overlooked a valid
reason for having special day in the
hope of adding to the gate receipts.
But with the changes that have been
made in the various teams and with
some of the old timers back in the
| fold, there are sure to be special days
| galore whenever one of them happens
| to be playing in city with which he
Jones day" in Chicago is sure to draw
a capacity crowd at the White SoN
| park, and Joe Tinker in charge of the
Cubs also will prove a good attraction.
| 1t was not to keep from paying Jack
Lapp big salary that Connie Mack
made the White Sox a present of the
veteran catcher, for it is learned on
good authority that Jacks contract
| calls for only $4,000 per season, and is
not as much as the average catcher VIII
draw from the major league clubs dur
that Lapps days are about over. He
still is a good hitter at times, but Mack
figures that his young catchers. headed
! by Schang, will take care OF that de-
,, partment The White Sox can better
AFFORD to carry a ss.opo substitute
catcher than can Mack.
There seems to be mistaken impress
sion as to Walter Johnson's contract
with the Washington club. 1t is found
preston that Johnson is drawing
something like $4,000 a season from
the Washington club, but the fact of
| the matter is that he signed a three
| year contract for S12.500 per year.
| which still has two years to run.
| It is the impression in other cities
that this is Walters last year on an
exorbitant contract, but he has two
more to serve, and even then If he
shows as well as he has up to this
time there is not chance of his hav-
| ing to suffer cut in salary.
According TO Ed BarrowS. president
of the International League, all nego-
| tiations with the former Federal
League magnates are off for the reason
| that there has been hesitancy on the
part of the latter in getting together
and settling their affairs.
