League Stipends viii Be
Cut in 1918, is Report

SANFRANCISCo, Oct, So.-Thak
there will be many salary reductions
next year, whether the war IS over Of
not. Is almost q certainty.
Here in the Coast league Il Is
foregone conclusion that there viii
be reductions, while It looks as IL the
majors would also be affected, wheth-
.er the war is over or not
War TO DO II.
The handwriting Is on the wall
and the players realize that Il the
war is still continuing when It comes
time for them TO sign new contracts
they will have to stand for salary
cuts or quit. Continuation Of the Wax
would at best make baseball hardly
lucrative investment for another
year and under war conditions the
owners could not we'll afford to pa1
some of the salaries present contracts
icall for.
On the. other hand, IL the war Is
over in a few months the cut In sal.
aries, while not as big or as general,
/ will be marked, for there are players
in both major leagues who since
| baseball war days have been getting
more money than they were ever en-
titled to. This has kept down the
salaries of the more deserving men,
something to which all fair-minded
baseball players viii agree.
Made Money.
War didn't hurt baseball In the ma

Because our friend no longer walks

mo, in a real and present way the
spirit of man cannot die; his life does

of giving something to the great COM

ness of prehistoric time man stumbies
forth into the light of history with

runs the broad river Of our common
life. Each of the millions who has
lived adds his part of good or bad to
the development Of his race. This re.
sponsibility we cannot shirk. Some.
thing we must add to the current OF
human life as it flows on through the
ages. The lives of the good, the true,
the courageous, slowly but surely have

upward in our common humanity. The
good and the evil that we do, and that
we are, live after us, and many life
