Report That Manager of

New York, Feb. 22-Reports from

WHAT IS BALL
PLAYER WORTH?
Question as to What Big
Lacquer Actually Worth
Being Argued.

a new item OF interest in baseball
circles is the argument now proceed
ing as TO what is a reasonable wage
for big league ball player. The
controversy has appeared at differ
ent times before. but It looks to be
in for an earnest discussion just now
and when it IS over players generally
may regret bit that they ever trifled
with their luck.
HUghey Jennings has announced
that he can name only three players
in the American league who were
worth more than $4,000 a year. Two
Of these, Of course, would be Cobb
and Speaker, and Hughie didn't name
a third. The great majority Of play
ers who are perhaps first rate, but
not Of surprising splendOr are most
Immediately concerned with the argu-
ment now in hand.
Smith Starts Il.
When Jack Smith Of the St Louis
Cardinals turned back a contract
calling for $3.50, declaring that his
work last season made him worth
quite a bit more than that for the
season approaching, he put the argu-
ment under way. If Smith really be-
lieves he should have more money he
should find some way OF proving it.
He might point out that other play
ers OF less skill and accomplishment
are getting that much. but then ii
becomes a question Of how much the
average big Lacquer deserves.
Average Wage.
The average" big league player
earns from $4,000 to $4,000 for their

.TENER ADVISES
YOUNG PITCHERS
Spitball Stamped Unsani-
tary and Disgusting by
National President.
By Briggs

New York. Feb. 22.-John K. Tener.
president OF the National league. has
taken up an active campaign against
the spit ball His first move has been
to warn young pitchers not to waste
time in developing the delivery used
by the spitbaH men. saying that the
spitbaH will live but a few seasons at
the longest.
Young pitchers starting to play
professionally will find it TO their ad-
vantage not to cultivate the use OF
the spitban." said Mr.. Tener. 1t will
also be advantageous TO National
league pitchers using this form OF de-
livery to experiment as much as pos
siole with some other style of pitch
ing during the coming season. The
spitball is a disgusting, unsanitary de-
livery, not likely to endure more than
a few more seasons at the most. All
the members Of the National league
rules committee. Dreyfus, Heydler and
myself. are strongly opposed to 1t,
and favor its adjustment"
Mr.. Tener said a majority OF Ma
uonal league players were unsigned,
but asserted that the club owners
would remain firm in their present
position, as baseball conditions did
not warrant the payment of larger
salaries to players.

matter is that Father Time licked

but in the fourth round he crumpled

It was just six years ago today
that Attell lost the featherweight

After that Abe alternately retired

disastrous that he never tried again.
BASEBALL ON THE COAST.
The first regular match game Of
baseball on the Pacific coast was

sunset slope has developed into a

COWS AND HOGS ARE
FORCED TO FORAGE DIET
Serious Shortage of Stock Feed Re-
suits from Regulations of the
Food Administration

Dairymen and hog raisers of this
district are face to face with serious
feed shortage. There is hardly a
pound of mill feed in the town and
unless the food administration modi-
fies its regulation there is not likely
to be any until the next wheat har-
vest.
The trouble is that the mills of the
Northwest have ground 100 per cent
Of the quota of production allotted to
them by the federal food administra-
tion and are now standing idle while
1900, 900 bushels of Northwest wheat
is being shipped to eastern mills which
have not ground their quotas.
Wednesday the Kennewick Com
mercial club sent a wire to Admins
traitor Hoover, asking that mills that
have reached their quotas but still
have wheat left be allowed to resume
operations. This was only one Of the
many kilograms which during the
week have been forwarded from near
ly every city and town in the North
west.

FRUIT Statesmen TOUR
THE ORCHARD DISTRICTS
Officials of Northwestern Fruit Ex-
change Here on Automobile
Trip Over State

Kennewick was visited Tuesday by
a number Of the head officials Of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange which
has recently extended its marketing
operations to this valley by means of
selling contract with the Spokane
Fruitgrowers company.
The party was headed by Reginald
II. Parsons, of Seattle, president of
the exchange. With him were j. B.
Adams, Of Leavenworth, field manag-
er; j. Curtis Robinson, traffic manag-
er of the exchange and o. T. Clawson,
of the Spokane Packers association.
The men had been out on an auto
mobile tour nearly two weeks, having
left Seattle May "a for wenatchee,
thence to okanogan, Spokane and Wal
la Walla. From here they went to
Yakima and will return to Seattle by
way Of Ellensburg and Snoqualmie
Pass. When here they had travelled
more than 1000 miles thru the fruit
producing districts of the state.
"We find fruit prospects not at all
bad" said Mr.. Parsons. "Apples and
pears are showing up everywhere
while in the later districts there will
be nearly normal crop Of peaches
and apricots."
Mr.. Parsons said the purpose of the
trip was to meet the local managers
of agencies with which the Exchange
is affiliated and to get better acquaint-
ed with local conditions in districts
from which the exchange draws its
tonnage.
