fiuence OF the Philadelphia club to
bring about his suspension.
Later John J. gets this off his
chest: The amount OF the fine and
the length Of the suspension are proof
that some folks fear the National
League race may become too one

to an incident In Cincinnati a few
years ago in which Herzog had q fst
fight with Rigler at the home plate
during a game, and was merely sus-
pended Ave days, without any fine be-
ing administered.

wrong never yet won IN any KIND OF
fight. When took a look at a list
OF their witnesses and saw Ned Ham
lon, John E. Ward, and Dave Fultz
named, knew their goose was
cooked.
Baseball is the only honest profess
sionaI sport in the world. and this
trial in Philadelphia only proved
what every American has always
known.
Brought Out Points.
Many points were brought out In
yesterdays hearing through cross
examination Of Garry Hermann.
chairman Of the National Commission.
Here they are:
Baltimore Feds salary list in 1916
was S46.e66.6T.
President Tener said that base
ball manufacturer paid the league
10000 a year for the privilege of
supplying the official ball.
Two per cent OF the net receipts
from Is and so cent admissions are
turned over to the National League.
The National League paid Charles
weeghmsn $4,000 to help him close
the deal for the Cubs.
Garry Hermann declared that the
Baltimore Feds franchise wasn't
worth a cent
plaintiffs Rest Case.
The plaintiffs caused surprise when
they rested their case early in the
day. Frank P. richard, one OF the
counsel for the defense. told the court
that a motion for non-suit would be
deferred until the defendants had
presented some Of their testimony.
John X. Tener. president OF the Ma
tional League, the first witness call
ed. said that the National League
was an unIncorporated body and OPP
Grated without PROFIT. Its expenses,
he said, were paid by a tax OF per
cent levied on each club on its net
receipts from 25-cent and 50-ceuI ad-
missions. by a quarter share % the
pennant-winning clubs share in the
world series, and the sum Of $2O.oOO
that is paid yearly by .he A. G. Spald-
ing Company for tht privilege OF
supplying the official baseball used
in the games.
The surplus remaining In the treas
ury at the end Of the season 10 d.
vided among the eight clubs.
Tells of Rapid Rise.
Tener pointed out the rapid rise in
salary OF a ball player II he made
good. In the lower class leagues he
said the salaries ranged from $40 to
500 a month for a period less than
six months. When a player breaks
into the big league, however, his
salary ranges from $1,000 to $1,000 a
year for a six months season
The former governor OF Pennsyl-
vania said that players who were
great drawing cards received still
larger salaries, and that their income,
including what employment they may
seek in winter months, runs high into
thousands of dollars.
Whether a major league player,
who broke his contract by jumping
to the Federal League, was BLACK
listed" or simply declared Ineligible to
play in organized baseball, was made

of our warships silenced the land bat

which is burning. and are advancing
in the eastern portion of the island
toward the east coast, on which the
Russian forces are rapidly retreat
Ing to escape over the mole which
connects the island of Oesel with
