MAGNATES FAVOR.
LARGE LUMP sum
FOR COMMISSION
Controlling Base Ball Body
Now Receiving 10 Per Cent
OF Receipts From Each
Worlds Series.

New York, Dec. 16.-When the Ma.
tional Base Ball commission is re-
organized, which will happen as soon
as Garry Hermann is forced from
his job as chairman, it is planned to
give the commission an allowance OF
$4,000 from the worlds series re-
ceipts, instead of permitting it to
take 10 per cent of the receipts of
worlds series and .post-season
games, as has been done heretofore.
Took Nearly $4,000.
The National commission took
nearly $4,000 for its share of the
last Red-White Sox worlds series,
and base ball men in both leagues
believe that this is entirely too much
money for the needs of the commits
sion.
John Heydler, president OF the
National league, said few days ago.
that the National league was in ia
vor of the commission turning por-
ton of their funds over to the re-
spective league treasures. The ma
iority directors of the American
league voted to request the National
commission to turn over $4,000 to
the treasurer of each league. At
the time it was explained that the
National league favored similar &C
ton. Heydler said he did not think
it would be possible for the commits
sion to disburse $4,000 between the
leagues, but said that the club own
ers of his league favored the return
of the commission surplus to the
league treasures.
"This is no more than equitable, ;"
explained Heydler. "for during the
Federal league fight and after, the
commissions expenses were so
heavy for lawyers fees and other
things that it was necessary in sew
eral years to assess the different
clubs to make up the commissions
deficit
Ban" Favors Move.
Heydler said he had talked the
matter over with Ban Johnson, and
that the American league president
also favors it.
The idea of allowing the commits
sion budget of $4,000 year came
from the joint committee appointed
to find a successor to Hermann
as chairman of the commission.
This committee believes that it is
possible to run the commission on a
more economic basis than in the
past. OF the $4,000 yearly allow
ance it is proposed to pay the chair
man a salary OF $4,000 to $4,000 a
year, with $4,000 year the top
mark.
"One hears so much talk of big
money, in base ball that one often
loses all sense of realities" ex-
planned one Of the men who is m
terested in the budget system for
the commission, A $4,000 salary
still is not to be sneezed at. and

Can Only Guess at History.

Now that the Venus of Milo, back
from Toulouse, whittier she went on
an indefinite visit four years ago last
August, is at home in the Louvre, she
is entertaining a more cosmopolitan
company of guests than has ever be-
fore thronged the galleries of that ia
nous museum. Among those present
are soldiers and civilians of all the al
lied nations. Her flight from Paris
adds another notable episode, but her
whole eventful history, from about the
fourth century B. c., when she is held
to have been sculptured, to 1920, when
she was found by farmer in the
island of Melos, can apparently never
be written. 1t must remain problem
atical, like the much discussed ques-
ton as to what she was doing with her
hands.
