BAKER PREDICTS
HARMONY MEETING
President of Phils Says No
Rows Will Occur When
Magnates Gather
SEES BIG CUT IN SALARIES
BY CHANDLER D. RICHTER

President William r. Baker, OF the Phil
lies, predicts a big cut ln salaries, tho elcc-
tlon OF Curry Hermann to the position OF
chairman ot the National Commission aud
also believes that harmony will prevail In
the National League ranks when the an
nual meeting takes place In New York next
week According TO Baker. President Drcy-
fuss, OF the Pirates. ls the only magnate
who ls anxious TO kick up n row, and the
Phtlly boss declares that Dreyfuss will be
squechcd when he starts his campaign to
have Hermann removed from the commits
sion.
AIR Baker predicts that President Tencr
viii be Instructed to vote FOR Hermann and
also expects President Johnson. OF the
American League. TO cast his ballot Tor
tho owner Of tho Reds despite the fact
that tho latter has openly declared that he
was against the present commission because
the National League has two representa-
tlNcs on tNn auprcmc board
10 ls Bakers opinion that johnson Is
favorable to the election OF ucrrmann and
that tho American League chief was play
ing politics TO find out the sentiment among
MS colleagues when he gave out his SEN
satlonnl statement to the effect that tho
junior league would not stand for two Ma
tonal Leagucrs on the National Commis-
sion.
As parting shot before he left for his
home In New York. Mr. Bakcr said that the
coming meeting would be one Of tho most
interesting tne NNtonRl League mas helu
~ years, and intlmnted that several sur
prlsing deals probably would be pulled. He
also predicted that tho salaries OF the play
era would bc cut considerably
Speaking OF tho plan to cut salaries. Mr.
Baker said, 1T Is positively necessary to
reduce the salaries as the majority OF the
players In the National League are being
paid moro thnn they are worth. There are
exceptions and the exceptions viii be re-
wardei with u boost. but look for a gen
eral cut all along the line.
III the players are not satisfied to take
the cut in salaries, let them remain idle
That Is my principle I always have treated
my players fair and intend to do 80 In tho
future, but do not intend to throw money
away. Very few major league clubs have
made more than four per cent on their in
vcstment IN tho last three years, and unless
the salaries are cut they will not be able
10 do so In tho future.
Baseball is business proposition and
when man cannot realize more than four
per cent on an Investment OF half mill
lion dollars. he Is not likely 10 continue In
the business az he can earn that much by
placing his money In savings bank. There
Is no risk work or worry when one has
his money in tho bank and the magnatcs
do not propose to allow the players to got
away with their eNorbltant demands"
