kONETcHY SHYs AT
 SIGNING BOSTON CONTRACT
Big Ed Objects Strongly to .ae Salary
 Cut,

It is reported up around Boston way that George Stallipgs, is having trou- ble in signing Ed Konetchy. to a con- tract with the Braves for 1918. Konet- cny is said to object strenuously to a cut in salary. and vows that he will retire unless he gets more mo.;ey than the document offered him calls for.
 The loss of Konetchy would ruin whatever little chance the Braves might have to make a showing next summer. Big Ed has not set the world afire since he joined the Braves, but he is a capable first sacker. And such bids are scarce in these times.
 It has been suggested if Konetchy sticks to his determination to retire that Stallings will bring Butch Schmidt back to the game and first base. The prospect of Schmidt's re- turn may warm the hearts of Boston fans, in these winter months, but if Butch tries a comeback the result is not apt to prove so pleasing and sat- 1 isfactory as they may believe
 Schmidt was always a big, clumsy lad. He played first base fairly well for the Champion Braves of 1914 and 1 his hitting was a big factor in the
 pennant drive of the Braves that year. Butch got heavier and slower during t19I5, however, and this may have had
 something to do with his retirement. 1 It. is two years since Schmidt has 1 played ball He has been engaged in
 running his butcher shop in Baltimore.
 This is hardly an occupation tended | to make. a man lean and fast.
 Michael Donlin once tried retire . ment and comeback, and did not make
 much of a success of the latter ven-
 ture. Donlin was much greater ball
 player than Schmidt ever was. But
 his retirement hurt him more than he
 thought it would, and he was not the
 Donlin of old when he returned.
 l It would seem the better policy for Stalifngs to yield a bit. to Konetchy
 on the salary question. rather than try to bring Schmidt back to the Braves

Complaints have been made that the French peo- pie in selling food products to Amer ican soldiers are charging exorbitant prices and thereby increasing the cost of living for the French people. This causes the unnecessary consumption by American soldiers of considerable quantities of food. This, it is believed, adds unnecessarily to the burden of the French food problem Your recom mendations in this matter are re- Quested."

Another Star in Texas.

Down in the Texas league they are boosting Storey, an outfielder of the Dallas club. as a second Iris Speaker, and baseball sharps who follow the do- ings of the Lone Star league predict that the youngster will be in fast com- pany before another winter rolls around. Storey. it is said, is sure death on fly balls anywhere in his territory: and hits a ball better than any player the TeSas fans have seen since the days when Speaker left that circuit to become a major league star. The player probably will be given the care ful attention of big league scouts dur ing the course of the coming season.

Considerable embarrassment has been caused the Brooklyn club by the announcements that the Robins man. agement would allow half pay to any of the players who entered the army or navy.

f Pat Powers is to be named president of the International League for 1918. That's the tip from inside of things in baseball. It is generally admitted that the In- ternational League needs a fighting leader in these dark days. That's just where Pat Powers fits. It was he who really quit the Federal league in the running and had organized baseball backed up against the wall and; with the exception of Ban Johnson, yelling for peace and quiet. { Patrick T. Powers was president of the old Eastern league before Ed Bar row appeared on the horizon. The league was popular and prosperous, and Pat was busted. He turned hs attention to other lines of profession al sport and is now reputed to be worth close to $2oO, O,0Qo.
 !. He was, mixed up with the Federal league at its inception. It would have died aborning. but for his shrewdness in swinging out into the east As soon as Sinclair, the Wards, Weeghman and Gilmore entered the circuit, Powers was. given the sack, but the Feds would never have put up their great fight but for the wise old Patrick T.
 The International league will meet at New York February II and Powers will be named president, according to the men on the inside, Jim Price. the president of the Newark club: Arthur
