Finishing touches to the numerous i'm
provements that Manager Winn has been
making at Laurel Park in preparation
for the October race meeting, which be-
gins a week from tomorrow, will be had
this week, and when the gates are thrown
open next Monday patrons OF Laurel
Park in the past will hardly know the
plant. One Of the important improve
ments made for the convenience of the
public is he building of an additional
tunnel at ;he railroad terminal, which
Will give greater space for the insress
and egress Of the racegoers.
Heretofore the people from Baltimore
and Washington have had to use one
tunnel from the railroad to the entrance
of the course. The additional tunnel will
make il easy to take care of the crowds
and. there will be no congestion as form
erly The paddock has been reconstruct
ed and rallied of so that the public can
have ample opportunity to watch the
ra acers before their contests, and at the
same time be free from danger of flying
heels. new secretaEy's office and
jockeys room has been. built north Of
the paddock and the old structure that
served for this purpose removed.
SteepIeChasing is to be one of the feat
urss Of the meeting. The jumping stakes
are among the fixed events, and these

FULTz NOT TO PERMIT
CONTRACT SLASHNG
Davy Outlines His Plans to Prevent
Magnates from Making Cuts.

New York, Sept z-Any attempt
on the part of the baseball magnates
to slash wholesale at contracts ter
minating this year will be strongly
opposed by the Players Fraternity,
David L. Fultz. president of the or
ganization, declared today in an in
terview with the United Press.
Plans already have been made to
combat such an attempt, but Fultz
refused to make public the outline
of battle.
The fraternity expects the magnates
to make some attempt to cut salaries,
which were boosted when the Federal
League was causing so much trouble.
Since then many of the stars whose
salaries went to new high marks have
faltered and now are doing no shining
at all. In spite of this. the big pay
is going right along and most of it
on long-term contracts.
Many contracts have salaries stip-
ulated in them. while others do not
Some of them merely quote salaries
for one year. with a provision that
the following year shall see the same
salaries paid, while still others quote
salaries for one year, with no pro-
vision for the other year at all.
1t is at this point, Fultz said where
the most of the trouble will come. All
the contracts contain the reserve
clause which holds players over for
the club another year. Where the
reserve mentions the players salary
and an attempt is made to make
radical reduction. the fraternity is go
ing to take a hand. It will not stand
for indiscriminate slashing.
Fultz said that many times mag
mates have attempted to tear up old
contracts which bound them to good
salaries for players and to execute
new ones with smaller sums stipulat-
ed.
I'VE always have recourse to the
commission in cases like this" he said,
"and in every instance the commits
sion has ordered the club to live up
to its old contract. 1t does not like
to see a club try to abrogate an old
contract"
Fultz admitted there rs no hope for
those players whose contracts are ex-
piring and who have lived off the
fat of their regulations since the Fed
erals went to pieces. They are en-
titled to unconditional releases, he
said, II waivers are obtained, and that
is the best that can be done for them.

One of the very best trapshots in this
fair country OF ours is Frank NJ. Troeh.
Of Vancouver, Wash.
Mr.. Troeh is very unassuming
poung man, always with a smile on his
countenance, as the above etching
proves. and he can shoot. He started out
this year to bag everything in sight and,
take it from US. he has done nobly.
He won high average honors in the
championship shoot Of the Sportsmen's
Association of the Northwest. the spo-
kane Gun Club, the Washington State
tournament. the Lewiston. Ia, program
and the Portland (Ore) Gun Club. All
he did at the Portland club was to
break 199 out Of 200 targets
In winning the high average at the
Washington State shoot Troeh also won
the State championship. This entitled
him to shoot with the champion Of
every other State for the national ANA
teur championship held in connection
with the Grand American tournament
in st. Louis.
And Troeh outshot every one Of the
other thirty-six titleholders who faced
the traps-in what many trapshooters

shooting circles. Every shooter is on
the same mark-sixteen ysrds-and every
one has the same opportunity OF winning
Troeh broke 7s targets before missing
and then went the rest Of the way-99
out of 100, the same score that won the
title in 1914 and 1915. But this wasn't
all that Troeh did at St. Louis. He
finished second in the doubles cham
pionship to Allen He'll, OF Pennsyl-
vania, getting IS to HeiTs Sc. He broke
SO out of 100 in the Mound City Overture
and was tied for first with three others.
Then he went out and broke 20 more and
won first place. He tied for third, too,
in the ST. Louis Introductory, with 1876
out Of 200. He shot so well during the
week that he was high average shooter
in the greatest tournament of the year.
