BY BRYAN MORSE.

Washington has more than the usual
interest In the Army-Navy football at

that no less than seven boys who either
have lived here or have attended school
here will probably play in the game.

According to word from Milan'
Ohio, where Smith makes his home,
the Griffmen's outfielder, though

he hears from David l.. Fultz, presi'

Players arc Psmpered.
II anything, major ieaguers are
pampered to the limit. There isn't
one big league manager. oarrins'
possibly, Clarence Rowland, OF inc
Chicago White Sox, who hash
served through the days when peii
players received less than hair ~
present-day salaries for ,ust ns
much work. Maybe that's why tno
managers have no sympathy for inc
big leaguers OF today.
The major Lacquer seldom draws
less than $4,000, even when ne

with the wages OF worker IN 'ho

And right there you have the key
to the situation.
Fultz, an attorney after his ca

and a performer in the big league
with the Philadelphia and New

everything written down in black
and white. He wants no personal

between club and player.
Personal Idea Beat.
When all Is considered carefully,
it's the personal idea that is the
best. SO long as the manager looks
