major leagues, their players received
about $1,500,000 in salaries last year
Nearly 400 players were employed In
the 16 clubs, and the average salary
was a trifie less than $4,000. In the
American league few of the big sal
aries were as follows; Cobb, $4,000;
Speaker, $4,000; Walter Johnson,
$4,000; Eddie Collins, $4,000; Joe
Jackson, 100000; Schalk, $4,000;
Frank Baker, $4,000; Lee Magee,
$4,000; Caldwell $4,000; Peckinpaugh
$500; Jack Barry. $500; Sisler,

troits and Clevelands. No major lea
que club, except the Athletics, paid

David l.. Fultz, president OF the
Baseball Players Fraternity, has lost
one more supporter, Leslie Mann of
the Chicago Nationals. Mann says
that he believes Fultz has taken the
wrong tactics in trying to get for the
players of ClassAA and Glass A the
principles for which they are contend
ing and which are generally regarded
as no more than common Justice. But
Mann now makes the point that ma
Jor league players shouldn't be asked
to injure their employers against
whom they have no grievances merely
because the National association is
not dealing fairly by men under its
jurisdiction
This doesn't mean that Mann has
withdrawn from the fraternity. He
says he has pledged himself not to
sign contract until given permission
so to do by the fraternity and that he
will stick to his word just as long as
the fraternity sticks to the principles
which he believes are right But he
says he does not believe the frater-
nifty should affiliate with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, that he
would not have joined it if he had
been given to understand it had any
idea of such affiliation and that he
will consider himself automatically
out OF the fraternity on the day it
does affiliate with the labor unions.
The Outing Club of Dartmouth has
invited more than 100 colleges to take
part in the winter sports carnival
which will be held Feb. 8 to 10. A

the customary program the year. The

game between Dartmouth and Bish-
ops college Of Canada, and from the
rink the spectators will proceed to
the golf course, where the first events
Of the intercollegiate ski and snow
shoe contests will be held. Among
the novelty ski events will be an OBJ
stacle race, an interclass ski relay,
a 220-yard dash on skis, and a snow
shoe race at the same distance. There
will also be cross-country ski race.
An even greater amphitheatre than
the massive bowl in which Yale's
out of Woodlands Ravine at Philadel-
phia, is probable for the University of
pennsylvania. Steps already have
been taken to assure erection of the
structure. Alumni, students and fac
ulty are working hard to make the
dream reality.
Present plans for the structure call
Tor an amphitheatre which will seat
lO0,000 persons, many thousands
more than can be jammed into Frank
lin field even by the greatest effort.
The need OF new stadium became
positive at the Pennsylvania C CCornell

when thousands were unable to gain

ing to the present plans, Manager
Donovan will have excellent practice
games for his players before the sea-
son opens, as all of his exhibition

two or more games will probably be
played in the South with Pittsburg
