California's Football Eleven
Moi Easv to Win Prom

NOL Easy 10 VIII EIOul
 Californias football team was beaten by Washington at Califor- mia Field last Saturday at Berke- ley, but the days of making the Blue and Gold the victim of a slaughter of the innocents is past. California has football team, and good one at that.
 The score was 1S to 3. Washing ton scored two touchdowns, from one of which a goal was kicked, while California made its points on a field goal, kicked from fourth down at a bad angle by Captain Montgomery.
 Coach Gilmour Dobie spent an anxious afternoon. As it turned out, the gloomy predictions made by the Seattle coach were not entirely unfounded. Dobie said he was afraid of California and, as it turned out, he had more to be afraid of than we of the nelghbor- hood suspected.
 The California team played up to the expectations of those who too the coaches word that they were a greatly improved eleven. When Gus zeigler said that Cali fornia had improved 10 per cent since the Oregon game he came close to hitting the mark There are still some rough edges to be planed off. but the skill of the comparative novices in the Blue suits was scarcely less than that of their more experienced oppo- nents.

Magnates Will Slash Salaries.

That there is to be some whole sale cutting of salaries by both major leagues before the next sea- son opens is assured. It is the Ma tionaI League, however, which will do most of the salary sllcing, for lie was the Tener league which suffered most by reason of the ad- vent of the Federal League. It's salaries were forced up to an alarm ing amount, and now that these contracts have mostly expired the salary lists are to be reduced so that again it will be possible for a club which finishes in the second division to make a healthy profit on it's investment.
 The American League will not have as much cutting to do as it's rival. but there will be enough of it done to cause the usual howl from the players. The magnates say they do not propose to be unjust. They are willing, they say, to pay the players what they are worth. But they do not think that many of the athletes are worth $6,O0O, $S.OOO and $1O,OOO, which has been paid for the past two years.
