BlOA-Up Is Coming.

A blow-up is coming to those
clubs in which many former Fed
eral leaguers are numbered. This
Is more particularly true OF the
Chicago Cubs. A line has been
drawn between those players who
stuck to organized baseball and
those who Topped. This line is
sure to be drawn tighter and
tighter as the summer approaches
and one free fight Is going to take
place.
iris Speaker expresses the
smolderings when he says that he
will not play ball for less money
than Benny Kauff gets. In his
light. iris Is right. too.
How about those clubs where
former floppers are drawing twice
and three times as much salary
as team mates who remained In the
fold?
Little jealousies are sure to ap-
pear, rendering nil the best eff
forts of the managers. Wholesale
releases will be the only REMEDY
and that won't bring any Victories.
