JOHNSON SEES
DIFFICULTIES
Believes 1t Would Force Union
Scale for Players Bad and
GOod-Fultz Intimates Strike
May Be Called February 20
Season Opening Set for
April IL

New York, Jan. 16.-Affiliation of
the Baseball Players Fraternity with
the American Federation of Labor
would end the pre- elt salary system
in professional baseball by which the
best players now receive thousands of
dollars for their work, in the opinion
of President Ban b.. Johnson Of the
American League who discussed here
today the plan to uiionize ball play
ers. He asserted thS change would
mean that a union scale of wages
would be paid both ito the star and
the average player in accordance with
the amount of money his position
called for. He doubted if the stars OF
the game would make such an agree
ment.
In Day of Standardized Wages
President johnson recalled that in
the old National League wages were
standardized when owners found it diff
ficult to pay the large salaries some
players received years ago, and he
cited the case of MCPhee, the famous
second baseman, who, he said, had to
be satisfied with the same pay that
players of inferior skill received.
Under the plan at that time, Presi
dent Johnson declared, outfelders got
a certain sum and infielders, it was
agreed. were to receive another
amount. President Johnson said he was
unwilling to believe that present day
ball players, drawing large salaries
would be content TO equalize their
earning abilities with players who just
manage to hang onto the major
leagues.
President johnson said he hoped
Samuel Gompers would first consult
with his associates before taking up
the proposals, adding that the Ameri
can League has never been antagonis-
tic 10 the American Federation Of La
Dor.
May Strike Feb. 20
David L. Fultz, PRESIDENT of the
Baseball Players Fraternity, today set
Feb 20 as the date the players strike
is likely to become effective.
the Chicago National League play
ers have been instructed TO report in
Chicago on that date TO make the trip
to their training camp at Pasadena,
CAL" said Fultz. IF the present base
ball tangle is not Strengthened out by
that time, however not one of the IS
leading members of the team will
move The other clubs who have I'M
signed fraternity players will be up
against similar situation when they
order mobilization at the training
camps. The players simply will not
bulge"
Fu'tz said the decision to join the
American Federation of Labor came
after reports from President Jonnson
of the American League that tie fra
ternity must be crushed and that play
ers who are active in the fraternity
must give up their order or get Out of
his league.
We needed something ID hulwark US
up and there seems no doubt that aft
liation with the American Federation
of Labor will prove great benefit"

SPORT SNAPSHOTS

Don't use your meat hand to stop
hard hit balls that are batted back to
you. If you do you may put an end
to your pitching career. This is the
advice Allen Russell, Yankee spit
haller, has to offer brother members
of the pitching fraternitq, and il is
well worth consideration. Early this
spring Russell reached for a hard hit
ball through the box with his nude
flipper. He got his hand on the ball
and succeeded in retarding its prog
ress, but Immediately afterwards he
suffered sharp pain in the first digits
of his pitching hook, which was fol
lowed b.: numbness. Then his hand
grew cold and he had to retire from
the game.
Complaint has been heard that the
season in the majors has not devel-
oped a single new star, and in
sense it is correct. for the "newcom-
ers" who have done mertorious work
are practically all comebacks to the
big show. However, Walton Cruise
of the st. Louis Cardinals though hav-
ing had previous trial, can be classed
as n itti VIII Ioi HIS previous Slhy win
the Cardinals before going to St. Paul
was brief. And ne certainly has made
good For the first half of the season
he was a contender for the batting
honors of the National league. OF late
he has fallen off In his hitting. but he
still bats around 800 and that is a
high figure in the National this year.
for the pitchers seem to have the edge
and the 800 list at last accounts in
cluded only ten regular players.

EXTENSION NOTES

Unfortunately, I have been away on account of the critical illness of my father and so have not been able to keep in touch with the situation. But am glad to learn that a good meeting was held in response to the call of the county agricultural com mittee, under the supervision of MT. Kapp. We hope to see more interest aroused in the growing of fall pota- toes, oats and wheat. If enough in- terest is manifested we shall call a meeting later on to discuss the wis dom of growing these crops.
 We wish to express our sincere ap- preciation to the people of Prescott, especially the young people, who so royalty entertained the boys and girls of the various clubs. 1t is possible some of the club members did not re- ceive invitations to the rally. This was brought about by Miss Griswold not having my complete list. She is to be congratulated on the way she managed the situation All of us club | people are now looking forward to the county fair.
 Gen. Pershing will soon have 10000 soldiers in France Here is what it will take to feed this small army at meal; Bread, six tons; coffee, one and one-half tons; jam, three and one- half tons; chicken, ten tons; beef, six tons; bacon, five tons; fish, six and one-half tons; potatoes, five tons. If l it takes this much for 10000 troops, how much will be required for our 2,000,0 900 soldiers? They must be fed. Let us look to the production and conservation of food. Save seed for all the crops and avoid embarrass- ment next season.
 trust we may all keep wise as to the situation and use our wisdom ac- cordingly.
 On account of absence, and the food and feed campaign, the county agents have not been able to visit club mem- bers and demonstrators as we wished.
 Yours for safer farming. M c. FERGUSON, County Agent.

PARENTS OF LITTLE NORA GARREN TELL
 OF UNUSUAL CASE
Little Home at 2215 Sth Ave. N. Made Bright by Little Daugh- ter's Unexpected Recovery.

Little Nora was a most pitiful suf- ferer for two years," says MT. R. H. Garren, who is a local steam shoveler. "She had case of blood trouble of the very worst kind. It was pitiful to see her suffering but there seemed no way to give her any relief. She was broken out with sores of the most distressing kind. Once the doctor seemed to have the disease under con trol but soon she broke out worse than ever.
 sWe had heard of Sulferro-Sol and at last determined to try it for Nora. The results were wonderful beyond our hopes. In ten days she commenced to improve and her pain grew less every day. She has taken two full bottles and is apparently we'll and free from sores and pain.
 "This seems almost wonderful but it's true and we are more than grate- ful to Sulferro-Sol for all it did for our little daughter"
 Every Druggist will tell you that Sulferro-Sol is the greatest medicine known for healing and building the blood.
 Sulferro-Sol is sold and recon. mended by the Hesterly Drug Store They will gladly tell you of its great healing and building powers.

SLACkERS

Mr. King, the National Red Cross director, who has been in charge of the campaign in Arkansas, does not hesitate to brand those who dodge the Red Cross subscriptions, as worse than slackers--as not true Americans. And yet there are many who do dodge and evade responsibility. One of the most contemptible excuses offered by men capable of subscribing literally, for doing nothing, or giving five or ten dollars is that they had just bought an automobile and it required all their spare money to pay for that and buy gasoline. The automobile as a pleasure vehicle is coming to be recognized as most expensive lux ury, although there are people who will have them even if they have to mortgage their homes. Nearly 25,000 automobiles have already been li- eensed in the state, an increase of nearly one hundred per cent since last year. But the automobile is only one of the excuses for not subscribing the principal one is that there are so many calls upon one for contribu- tons that they simply cannot answer all of them. Which recalls the story of Uncle Zeke, who was haled into court for failing to support his wife. She complained that she could not get any money from him.
 Look here, Zeke, what about this ?" asked the court.
 Well, judge, it's just this away. You see, Dinah jes' nacherly keeps on askin' me for money, an askin' me for money, till jes' gifts tired of it all the time"
 And what does she do with all the money you give herr" asked the court
 Well, you see, judge, I ain't done gin Ter any yet"

A PUBLIC MEETING

Quite number met at the park yesterday afternoon in response to a call for mass meeting of women, the object of which was to form an auxil- iary to the Red Cross.
 After much discussion, it was found advisable to confer with headquarters in Little Rock or New Orleans for instructions to organize.
 Mrs. Joe Hamilton was appointed to do the corresponding. All seemed eager to do their "bit." Mrs. Beidel- mans busy fingers lost no time ply ing her needles on sleeveless sweater during the meeting. If each of us follows her example, there will be no dearth of comforts for the men at the front Many women sent in their names as helpers who could not be present.
 Several dollars were added to the Red Cross fund from those who de- sired to become members of the Ma tional Red Cross Society.
 Remember, dear women, that no dues are required to be helper. Only those who want to be identified as members of the National Red Cross are required to pay the dues of $1.0G annually.
 We hope every woman in town yes, and all the young people from 1G years old up, will respond to the next call for a meeting. Watch the daily paper. Let there not be stacker in the whole community.
