ArranEes Some Dates.
M0GULS IN EARNEST
National Lacquer Says Fight VIII
Go to a Finish.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.--Members of
the players union who have gone on
strike will probably hear from the
major league magnates not later than
the first of next month. The mag
mates of both big circuits are talk
ing over warlike measures calculated
to bring the players to their senses.
The plan under discussion just now
is notice to be forwarded to the un-
signed players on February 1 to ef-
feet that If they. do not attach their
signatures to the contracts already
sent out within ten days after the
date the contracts will be withdrawn
and new ones calling for less salary
will be substituted.
IF the players really want a battle
1t will be cheaper to fight them on
a reduced salary basis" said a Ma
tional League club owner yesterday.
They must be made to understand
as soon as possible that their en-
ployers mean business, and will not
stand for further dictation.
81 am firmly convinced that the
public is not in sympathy with this
strike movement. The fans all over
the country pay to see the players
give artistic exhibitions of the na.
tional game. They do not care how
much money the players receive for
their services or what kind of auto
mobiles they drive.
"The public knows that expert
pIayer0 always will be literally paid
The fans also are aware of the fact
that many players of ordinary abil-
ity have received more money than
they are worth. The records show
that the salary list of each ma Jor
league club last year was greater
than ever before, and for that reason
many club owners lost money.
"If we surrender to the players
this time we will experience all kinds
of trouble in future. The players
might have nerve enough to dictate
TO their managers as to the positions
they should fill or how many games
they should participate in. The fight
therefore must go to finish"

SUTTON SHOULD HELP
Record Proves That He Should Aid
Reds In Pennant Fight.

NEW YORK, Jan 13-If the Gin
cinnati Reds don't kick holes in all
previous Ohio river records within the
next few years It won't be the fault
Of Larry Sutton, recently signed by
Manager Christy Mathewson to scout
for Garry Herrmann's holdings.
Baseball men agree that Mathewson
made the wisest move since taking
hold of the Reds when he signed up
the foxy Sutton. Larry has q great
record for ivory-hunting behind him.
Connected for several years with the
Brooklyn Club, Sutton dug up some of
the most famous ball players in the
country.
Among the Dodgers who got their
big league chances through recon-
mendation of Sutton are Jake Dau-
bert, Jeff Pfeffer, Casey Stehgel, Zack
Wheat and Otto Miller. They all
have made good, and they don't form
the total OF his scouting maneuvers
by several.
Minor leaguers know Sutton better
perhaps than any person now in the
scout business. And they know also
that when Larry comes INTO view
they've got to trot out the best they
have. No one yet has been caught
putting one over on the veteran grass
comber. He has the eye for young
ball players and he rarely picks q
fiivver. All his selections, Of course,
are not doing duty in the big yeagues,
but most OF them are, and that's a
better record than a great many OF
them can boast.
Larry spends his winters in New
ark, N J., where he reads proof on q
newspaper. He formerly was a com-
positor. He chases over to New York
whenever there's anything going on
and he usually has the best tips on
everything. There are few matters in
baseball unknown to him.
Mathewson's Reds seem booked for
an upbuilding process that will &C
complish something besides seventh
or eighth place every year.

to do Is this: II he Is unable to get

III Luck Pursues Hin.
For two years in luck has been stick
ing close to Evers' heels. In 1915. the
year after the Braves won the nag. he
injured his right leg. This kept him
out Of the game for months and pre-
vented him from playing his best ball

He was OF little use to the team, but
he received his check twice q month

This fair treatment was almost more
than Evers expected. and now he has
