MAY PAY SOLDIER PLAYERS
Charles Cornis1<ey Proposes Partial
Salary for Baseball Men Entering
Government Service.

New York, Feb. 11.-Charles A
Comiskey, owner of the worlds
champion White Sox, will introduce
a measure at the meeting of the
American league here this week for
major league club owners to make
partial payments Of salaries to de-
pendents Of players who were drafted
or enlisted. This plan was adopted
by the National league in the case
of Hank Gowdy, the Boston Braves
catcher, who was the first major
league player to volunteer after the
declaration of war.
The matter will probably come be-
fore both major leagues this week,
because it is believed that there will
be several instances when families
Of drafted and enlistd players will
need financial assistance, especially if
the war continues for any great
length of time. Comisl1ey is heartily
in favor of the plan and is going to
try to persuade the other club own
ers to adopt it in some form or other.
IT is the idea, of the Chicago owners
to have all major league baseball in
terests get together and work out
this scheme in a modified form. 1t
has been suggested by one Of the
club owners that the major leagues
set aside a fund for this purpose, to
which the ball players could also
contribute. Exhibition games could
be played during the season for such
a cause and would undoubtedly be
given hearty support by baseball
