SALARY CUTS WILL
NOT Be SO SEVERE
Captain Huston Says That New
Players Have Little Worry
Over Affairs.
By JOE VILLA.


NEW YORK. Dec. 1s.--The belief pre-
vaillnE in baseball circles that the club
owners. now that they hold the upper
hand through the passing Of the Feds.
nre all prepared TO reduce salaries In
wholesale fashion appears 20 be far
fare so badly after all. despite the
numerous interviews In which magnates
have made II plain that retrenchment
IN bound to come.
/ IL appears now that the reduction viii
affect few players other than those who
were able TO force their employers to
pay abnormal contracts because they
were sought by the Feds.
Players who drew normal salaries
will not suffer to any extent and many
Of them are in line for an increase In
pay.
Yankees Good Example.
The New York Yankees furnish n
good example Of the attitude OF tho
club owners toward the players under
the changed conditions. Within tho
next ten days contracts will be sent out
to fifteen players whose previous con-
tracts expired at the close of the 1915
season. Not one of the fifteen will be
offered n salary less than the one I'M
der which he formerly worked.
on the other hand Mt least four play
ers. possibly i've. will be paid more In
1917 than they were In 1916. Nine MEM
bcrs Of Bill Donovan's squad arc now
held under contracts which have an
other season or two To run. Some Of
the figures were inflated far beyond
the value Of the player. and these are
due for reduction later unless the
player improves sufficiently to earn the
big money.
The fact that no cuts will be made
serve to indicate that the plight OF

MAYOR WATT, OF LENNON
LOSES by 13 VOTES.

Lennon, July 5.-At recall cleo
ton held here Mayor b. K. Watt was
defeated. Leo Gilman. who was put
up by the opponents of Mayor Watt,
receiving a majority of thirteen votes
over the incumbent.
The opposition 10 Watt, II is
claimed, was based on dispute
over who should be the manager of
the municipal saloon for the coming
year Two years ago Lennon adopt
ed the municipal saloon plan of han
ding the liquor question. Instead of
granting a license to saloon for
each 600 population, which would
give the town two saloons, corpora
ton was formed which pays into the
city the amount il would receive for
two saloon licenses, hires compe-
tent man to manage the concern and
turns all the profits, after expenses
are made, into the city and school
district treasures. This year there
were several aspirants for the job of
managing the municipal saloon, and
the supporters of Mayor Watt claim
it was disappointment among some
of the candidates for the place which
was back of the recall action.
