CASH SALARIES OF PLAYERS
Cuts to Be Made in Gases Of overpaid
Bali Tossers, but Real Stars
Won't Be Disturbed.

Much Of the talk regarding big
SlaShcs In the salaries VI players In
the major leagues should be taken
with the proycrbiul 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 whore time contracts have
expired. They may also make com
mcnsurate reductions In cases where
they believe ball players have been
Overpald, but the real stars of the
game will continue to draw down good
money.
Any time u ball player proves TO
be n big drawing card he will be able
TO demand IA big salary, and the future
star who is sure Of his ability will
probably decide that "A one-year con
tract Is the best for him after nil.
Salaries that are out Of reason are
truly a thing Of the past, but baseball
Is on the uphill path again, ana with
the game prosperous the players will
find the club owners as willing as ever
to spend their money.
