SALARY LIMIT
 OF S25O FOR lINTERNATIONAt


 New York, Feb. 14-When the next baseball war does come, it will not be a battle between a new Federal league and Organized baseball, or an inter necine strife among the magnStes, but a struggle between the players and the owners. All indications point to an understanding among the magnates to keep salaries down to the mini mum. When the general readjust- ment of salaries is settled there is bound to be a movement for Organiza- tion among the players that will make the present Players Fraternity look like a village social circle.
 Garry Hermann recently stated, in reply to Fred Toney's demand for a raise, that no pitcher working in the big leagues this year under a new contract would get more than $4,2OO- the sum offered to Toney. When the that for the other players will cer- tainly fall lower.
 Sol Lichtenstein, owner of the Mon trea1 club of the International league, asserted recently that any player gel ting as much as $25O a month in the Barrow circuit this year would have to be a real wonder. In view af the fact that men have in the past turned up their noses at $450 a. month in that league, there is bound to be wide spread dissatisfaction The fracas will not begin to brew until next win ter. Now the players are busy getting under cover for the season.
