MAJOR LEAGUE MEN
GETTING NEW FORM
OF YEAR CONTRACT

New York, Feb. Major league
players are receiving a new form Of
contract from their employers. For
merly salaries were paid to cover a
period Of six months, from April Is to
Oct. Is. But this year the magnates
are going to sign their players for five
and a half months, from April Is to
Oct. /. This will mean the saving Of
thousands Of dollars. 1t is estimated
that the major league players, under
contract to 16 clubs last year, drew a
total of more than $1,000, 900 for their
services. The new contract will cut
off two weeks pay, which may amount
to about $4,000. Many Of the players
are kicking, but 1t will avail nothing.

BIG CAME TO BE- :
PLAYED At AUC|E
Augustana Basketball Team Meets
Eureka at College Gym Tomor-
row Night.
ARE RATED HIGHLY
Stone and Webster Quintet Will Play
Independents as Curtain
Raiser to Battle.
BY BOB OLMSTED.

The best two bits worth of the sea-
son is promised to basketball fans to-
morrow night when Augustana meets
the trump squad from Eureka after
curtain-raiser in which the Stone and
Webster aggregation will meet the
Rock Island Independents.
Eureka is doped out to be the fast
est crew in the Little Nineteen" by
keen basketball observers. Identi-
cally the same bunch is representing
the school this year as contended with
Augustana in the finals Of the tourna-
ment last spring and came within an
ace Of the 1917 honor. When it is taken
into account that Eureka was second
best last year and has not lost man
of her squad, while all the other
schools have suffered greatly on &C
count of the international situation, it
appears that the whole squad ought to
be court martialed and shot at sun
rise if they do not win the meet this
year.
Corresponding to the personnel Of
the team is the record it has set up
so far this year. 1t has taken Wes-
leyan's scalp by 30 to q score and
has crowned Bradley with defeat Of
Sc to "a. James Millikin furnished the
first scare recently when it came
within one point of the Eureka toll,
the score being 2 5to "a
AS far as dope is concerned. Angus
tana has not the ghost of show with
such an aggregation. 1t mus0be re-
membered the Bradley furnished de-
feat for the Swedes not long ago and
this makes Eureka look like bug
bear already. However. Augustana
has marvelously improved her style of
play since meeting Bradley and has
been winning victories over teams
which are of the same caliber as the
Peoria squad. There can be little
doubt, according to Coach Conrad. that
Augie would have won the Bradley
game if she had put up the same line
of fight that she did against Knox last
Saturday. The Swedes are therefore
going into the business in grim earn
est and expect at least to hold the
down state five to one of the lowest
| scores of the season.

THINK DECISION
BOUTS WILL AiO
New York State Still Yearns for Law
That Will Legalixe Boxing
Game There.

New York, Feb. New York state
still yearns for a law that will legalfze
boxing and really make it decent
sport Some law that will give the
sport standing in the largest COM
munity in the country is being eager
ly sought.
Assemblyman Marty McCue, a for
mer squared inhabitant. is one of the
strongest of supporters for presenta-
ton to the legislature.
Back in the days Of the Frawley
law, when some of the greatest fights
in the history of the game were pulled
off under the 10-round no-decision
farce law that had been spread on the
books, there was too much chance for
petty graft. There also was too much
chance for stalling boxers to make
life unpleasant for the suffering pub
lic The law died a natural death
Any new bill that passes and is ex-
pected to have life of more than just
a few short months must combine
other features. And this is the goal
for which legislators are striving
Whether or not the new law will
have a decision feature can't be pre-
dicted. it hasn't such embodied in II
as it now stands, but there are certain
members of the New York state leg
islature who believe allowing decis-
ions would make the game cleaner
and insure departure from the old
complaining days
1t used to be that champion could
sign for a no-decision bout, condition
himself for long period of footwork
and then bend his efforts in the ring
solely toward saving himself from
punishment. So long as decision
could not be rendered against him il
was certain he could not lose his title
even though clearly defeated. Freddie
Welsh was outpointed in New York
rings time after time, but it did him
no harm so far as his championship
