THE Old Sports MuSing' in the
Philadelphia Inquirer hands the fol-
lowing to kauff:
NO matter what Benny says he
wants, the fact of the matter is he
will play for just what his Federal
League contract calls for. There does
down the pay of those players who
have been long in service. Salaries
will continue to run high. but the re-
vision will be downward rather than
upward. 1t will take some few years
to place base ball on a solid business
basis. Everything cannot be accom-
plished in the first turn of the wheel.
The New York club, abably the rich
est of them all and the best able to
pay high salaries. has taken the stand
that. no matter what q players repu-
tation may be, no matter what his
ability may be, lie cannot expect to
rush right UP and command any fancy
price he may think he is worth. kauff
will have to show that he is deserv-
ing of more pay. The New York club
in turning a deaf ear to the demands
of Benny has set the pace. According
to the clubs statement, Kauff can or
cannot play as he desires. And the
chances are that Benny will be seen
cavorting on the Giants lot when the
big bell rings"
George Stallings is trying to get Ivy
WingO, the catcher, who is member
of the Cincinnati team. Wingo was
signed last year by Herzog after he had
fixed up with the Feds, but the salary
he is getting is too high for times of
peace, and the Cincinnati club is will
ing to turn him over to Boston if
deal can be arranged.
Stallngs, who is stopping off in New
York for a couple of days. has had
President Hermann on the long dis
tance telephone several times regard
ing Wingo and he has promised that
he will give him a definite answer as
to deal before he leaves New York
for his home in the south.
A complete change has come over
James A. Gilmore, SO far as his attitude
toward organized base ball is con-
cerned; since the Federal League is
thing of the past he has changed his
views. He makes the prediction that
base ball will have big boom next
season, because the players will have to
respect thejf moral obligations and
contractual rights. Rigid discipline
will prevail. SO that managerial author
ity will count full measure once more. !
Such statements from the man who in
duced players to break their contracts
and ignore their obligations to organ |
ized base ball chow he must have rea- |
