Wartime Basketball Is
Plan of State League

Scranton, Dec. ga war" re-
duction in the salaries being paid
players in the Penn State Basket
ball League was put through yester-
day at a special meeting of the man.
ayers, the latter concluding that, un-
less a radical retrenchment policy
is put into effect, the circuit will land
on financial rocks long before the
second half is finished.
Under the new scale of salaries
no player in the league is to re-
ceive more than $3.50 a month
Players who have been getting $500
or over have been cut to $3.50. The
other reductions are as follows:
From $175 to $40 a month; from
S165 to s135 a month; from $50
TO S125 a month; from S125 to
S112.50 a month.
Players whose salaries have been
S112.50 or less are not to suffer
through the new scale of prices.
Neither will the referees suffer, the
owners having decided to retain Her
man Baetzel as chief official at a sal
airy of $75 u week, the referee pay
ing his own expenses.
It was denied at the meeting that
applications had been received from
Reading and Allentown for fran
Chises.
Two new rules were duOpISu. OIlG
calls for the league to purchase
three basketballs, with each referee
having charge of one. Under the
new plan a league ball will be used
in each game. The other rule i'm
poses a fine of $40 on any player
who goes to the referees dressing
room to continue an argument, and
a fine of So for any player who
shoots more than five fouls during
the preliminary practice.
The efforts of the Scranton own
ers to obtain permission to retain
Barlow and Frost, along with Kane
and Hough, after January 1st, were
defeated.
"Smike" Mcintyre is the first
player to kick on the new salary ar
rangement. He has been getting
5000 a month from Carbondale, and
has declined to work for $3.50. He

Champion Jess willard wants to
go to France and meet Georges Car
pentier. 1t might be q good thing
to send him out of the country for
time. The publicity regarding
prospective battles, etc, are accord
ing to a general belief rather tire
some. If Willard does not want to
fight he should say so.
So far as the figures OF averages
go, Max Carey, of the Pirates, is
the best all-around man playing the
outfield in the National League.
Whether he is the most valuable
depends on other qualities than those
shown by records, such as mentality.
spirit, coming through in a pinch
and other invisible factors. The
averages do not tell how many runs
he has batted in or how he batted in
cooperation with base runner and
with men on bases-wherein the
averages are deficient-but he is bet
ter in the combined arts of batting,
run-making, base-stealing and field
ing than any other fielder.

SCRANTON HAS
BASEBALL PLAN
Will Play Semi-Professional
Team; Binghamton
to Follow

Scranton, Dec, 26.-As the New
York State League magnates have
virtually decided that the New York
State League will not be open next
year, and that as a result Scranton
VIII be without professional baseball,
movement is now on foot here
to organize a strong semi-profes-
sional team to play on Saturdays and
holidays in this city, and on Sun
days at Dickson City, just outside
the Scranton city limits, to the north.
The movement was inaugurated by
several former well-known ball play
ers from this part of the valley.
and it has the Endorsement of tho
Scranton State League club owners.
Other Cities Follow
This idea has spread to Scranton's
sister city in York State, Bingham
ton. From the Parlor city comes
the report that the millionaire owner
George f. Johnson, who has backed
the Bingoes in the face of heavy
financial losses, favors dropping the
professional game for the war period
and organizing a semi-pro team,
much on the same idea as that con-
! templated for Scranton.
Mr.. Johnson is of the opinion that
professional baseball should be
| given n rest at least while the war
is on, but believes that it is absolu-
! tely essential that the playing of
! the game with the best players avail
able for the least possible cost be
! continued, as the people of the
country will want some sort of diver
! sion to take the terrors of war off
their minds when the lists of Ameri-
can casualties begin to be promul-
gated.
1t is believed that the Scranton
promoters will be, able to interest
Bill Coughlin, ex-big Lacquer and
| former manager of the Scranton
League Miners in the movement, and
drag him out of his baseball retire
ment to take charge of the proposed
| Scranton Semi-pros.
