Johnson did not say that organized

$1,100 YEAR FOR EACH CLUB.
Big League Teams to Pay Uncle
Sam $4,000 Tax on Fares.

NEW YORK. November 27.-The
federal war taxes on railroad fares
win mean an average extra cost of
$1.100 a season to each team in the
major base ball leagues, according to
estimates just compiled by John B.
Foster. secretary of the New York
National League club. The sixteen
travelling clubs Will. therefore. enrich
the national treasury to the extent of
about $4,000 next season. The aver
age mileage of each of the major clubs
is about 1900 miles a season.
Mr.. Foster Is of the opinion that the
additional cost of base ball through
taxation and the increased hotel ex-
penses can be met by cutting the play
er limit to eighteen or twenty players.

Players Made TO Believe
In Themselves Are Winners

Following are observations
made by a st. Louis scribe ON the
methods pursued by Miller Hug
gins I'm managing q ball clubs
HugEins' ability to develop
young players In not the least in
teresting Of his attributes. Rog-
ers Hornsby, Frank Snyder, Wal
ton Cruise, BIZ Donk, Lee Mead
ows, Jack Smith, Mule Watson.
Oscar Horstman and Marvin
Goodwin all are products of
Hugs ability to develop young
players. The first half dozen of
these represent a total cost price
to the st. Louis club of less than
$4,000.
And why can Huggins develop
young players where others failf
Several reasons. Chief among
then, is that HuEgins wins their
confidence right from the jump.
He plays psychology to the limit.
He makes them believe they can
play ball and they do play.
Huggins digs directly to the re-
cruits' hearts. He appeals to their
business sense. and when he gets
through with TINT he puts them
on their honor. In all his experi-
ence with them he has found hut
ene to aa<ranf:y violate the COM
