JOINING A. F. OF L. WILL
CUT DOWN SALARIES

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Affiliation of
the Baseball Players Fraternity with
the American Federation Of Labor
would end the present salary system
in professional baseball by which the
best players now receive thousands
of dollars for their work, in the opin-
ion of President Ban Johnson of the
American League WHO discussed here
today the plan to unionfze ball play
ers. He asserted the change would
mean that a union scale in accordance
with the amount of money mis- posi-
ton called for. He doubted IL the
stars of the game would make such an
agreement.
President Johnson recalled that IN
the old National League wages were
when owners found 1t
difficult to pay the large salaries some
players received years ago, and he cit
ed 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, Pres
jdent Johnson declared, outfielders re-
ceived a certain sum and infielders, 1t
was agreed, were 10 receive another
amount. President Johnson said he
was unwilling to believe that present
day ball players, drawing large sal
aries, would be content to equallze
their earning abilities with players
who just manage to hang on to the
major leagues.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Presidents oil

ton, al a meeting today voted 10 meet
in Chicago January II TO re-dlstrlct
the three organizations. Twenty-lour
cities are concerned. The western

The cities involved in the Central

field Ohio: Dayton. Ohlu; Grand Rap
ids. Mich; Muskegon, Mich; and
Wheeling w. Va.
After agreeing on the proposal TO
rc-district the three executives TOOK
up the subject OF re-classification.
A movement 10 abolish the present
governing board of the National Asso-
citation of Minor Leagues, and create
a new board of three members TO rule
the minors was launched al the meet
ing.
The plan was suggested by A. r.
Tearney, president Of the Three
League. Tearney contended that The
present minor league board OF eleven
members is 100 unwieldy. and II is un-
able properly 10 serve the interests or
the minor leagues throughout the coun.
try. The board, he said, seldom Dmeets
and as its members serve without sal
airy, they do not devote the proper
attention 10 questions confronting the
smaller baseball organizations.
Absolute Rule for Board.
Tearney advocated that the propos-
ed board be empowered with absolute
rule, and that Its members be remun-
Grated so that they could devote their
entire time 10 the sport.
1T would be Il national commission
to the minor leagues" Tearney said.
The baseball map Of the. Central
West is likely 10 be changed radical.
ly as a result of the determination Of
the presidents Of the Central Associa.
ton and the Three | and Central
Leagues to 90 through with their re-
districting plans.

said it was probable that Saginaw,

CATHEDRAL HIGH ToSSERS GET
REVENGE FOR. RECENT DE-
FEAT BY OHIO TEAM.
Vanyo, Niggemyer and Rafferty, Fea-
ture in Scoring for Locals.
Many Brilliant Plays.

In a game featured by brilliant play
by the stars of both teams, notwith.
standing the one-sided score, the Ca.
thedral High school basketball team
last night annexed the scalp Of the
Bellaire High school floor quintet by
the score of IS to 20.
The game was played in the Cathe'
dral High school armory before a
crowd of several hundred fans that
packed the armory to the doors.
The first twenty minute period OF
the game was half over before either
side could score. Bellaire scored the
first point in this period on foul
thrown by Tobin,' Bellaire's fast little
center, and a moment later Niggemy'
er scored Cathedral's first point on q
foul. For the next five or six minutes
the score favored first one team, then
the other, by one point, but before the
half ended the onslaught of Cathedral
had started, with Vanyo, Niggemyer
and Captain Rafferty, featuring IN
password that was too speedy for Bel,
laire's guards, and the period ended
with the score II TO in favor OF the
Cathedral cadets.
Both teams went on the floor for the
second half determined to win. Bel.
laire's forwards worked with speed
and determination, and their guards
played close, but Cathedral played tho
open game and long passes and spec
tacular basket shots featured the work
Of the cadets. Tobin and Zweig came
in with two splendid basket shots in
this half, but their rally came too late
and the lead gained by Cathedral
could not be overcome.
The game was rather rough. as is
evidenced by the number of points
scored on fouls, Bellaire scoring ten
and Cathedral nineteen in this way,
with many other foul shots attempted
and missed.
Finding that the game was practic:.
ally won before the second period
started, Captain Rafferty,, Of Cathe-
dral, substituted Niggemyer for Vanyoo
at forward in the second period, and
sent G.. Fahey, substitute, to center
10 play Niggemyers position. There
we're no substitutions in the Bellaire
lineup.
