CASH SALARIES OF PLAYERS
Cuts to BE Made In Cases Of overpaid
Ball Tossers, but Real Stars
Won't Be Disturbed.

Much of the talk regarding big
slashcs in the salaries of players In
the major leagues should be taken
with the proverbial grain of salt.
1t Is true that major league club
owners who were forced to pay sal
aries which were eXorbitant because
of the war with the Feds, will make
some cuts where time contracts have
expired. They may also make pm-
mensurate reductions In cases where
they believe ball players have been
Overpaid, but the real stars of the
game will continue to draw down good
money.
Any time ball player proves to
be big drawing card he will be able
to demand big salary, and the future
star who Is sure of his ability viii
probably decide that one year con,
tract Is the best for him after all.
Salaries that are out Of reason are
truly thing of the past, but baseball
Is on the uphill path again, and with
the game prosperous the players will
ind the club owners as willing as ever
to spend their money.

TO INSURE HOCKEY PLAYERS
Sport Successfully Tried Out on
Pacific Coast.

Probably the most unique idea ever
evolved In sport has been tried out
successfully in California by soccer
football officials. This IL the estab-
lishment of mutual protective insur-
ance company for the league players.
The California Football association
which has suffered at various times
through these runs of injuries. finally
has decided to insure It's own athletes.
They devise n plan whereby player
Injured In scheduled league game
may receive compensation up to $50
for any injury he may sustain.
The plan Is simple and the expert
ence of last season has shown that 1t
Is sound. Every club that sends n soc
Ger team into the field must contribute
ten cents Il game for each player who
completes. To this fund Is to be add.
ed money received from the sale of
programs. the annual smoker and the
yearly five.a-side game.
The contributions each week will
amount to S11 or more. This will
bring the amount for the season To
$40. while the sums from other
sources should swell this to $1,000.
