President John D. Martin, OF the
Southern. who is in New Orleans at
%taending the big series between the Pels
and Crackers, Is very naturally elated
over the action OF the commission, for
it means that the minors, which have
long played second fiddle and been
forced to gain their sustenance via the
hind teat have at last come into their
own. They have at last been given a
chance to sell the players they develop
for what they are really worth instead
Of the usual 81, 500 which has been paid
in days gone by.
Going up from the Southern, this sea-
son for instance, are several star play
ers who would undoubtedly have been
drafted at the regular price. Instead,
the Southern clubs selling the players
are to be well paid for them, and in
stead of getting the paltry 81 son they
will be able to force the big leaguers in
to giving them real money and playing
talent for the cream OF he Sunland

GREAT THING FOR MINORS

Its a great thing for the minors to be
free from the shackles that have bound
them all this time. They are now able
to get some Of the money the majors
have been keeping from them, with the
general result being that the smaller
stronger and better. This works to the
general good Of baseball, for the minors
are the very foundation of the national
game, and without them the whole base
ball structure would come tum milling
down. They are the proving grounds,
where the players are started IN their
way to stardom. They are the schools
where the future Cobbs, Johnsons,
Wagners and Speakers are given exper
fence which fits them in later years for
the acid test in the big show.
The minors have won their big fight.

this fall, but as the smaller baseball fry have kept a stiff upper lip,
the. majors have been forced to adopt the policy of suspendmg the
draft for 1919.
This means that the majors will not draft any players from the
smaller leagues, and that those athletes they desire will have to be
bought and paid for. Instead Of paying the stipulated draft price for
player worth twice as much, the majors will be obliged to dig as
deeply as the minors see fit in filling their ranks for the 1920 baseball
season.
The concession made Tuesday night in Chicago by the national
commission marks the successful elimination Of a fight launched last
winter by John D. Martin. president of theSouthern league; AL Tear

league officials for the freedom Of the minors from the ganing-yoke

Goodrich in his the general assembly WELD

that would eentralze much of the government of the
state in the Office OF and that would enable
the governor TO build up around himself political
machine such has never been in Indiana.
He accompanied his plea for the passage of his pet
measures with apology and a explanation. He in
sisted that he had intention of centrafizing the
power Of the state government in the chief execu-
tive ne merely asking that the state be
given responsible government Then he gave his idea
of Capitalization of power an attempt by
ernOr TO usurp the power OF the general assembly.
Such an explanation is laughable in the light Of Gov
5oodrchs attempts during the last few weeks to DO
this very thing. 1t is usually customary for the
sembly TO have some freedom in the drafting of bills

dictated numerous bills and then appeared before the
legislature and demanded their passage.

An Ancient EaLsehood

The little high school girl is pretty

70 dance. is a good skater. she sings
and plays the piano, and she's as
pretty as a picture into the bargain
Besides that. she has the sweetest
little coaxing ways you ever saw.
But she isn't happy. and that's
because she's just entered high
school and the tw. girls she knows
best in the class keep telling her
that she'll never have any fun unless
she stops being "such an old maid"
The boys won't like her. they say.
unless she sings tough songs and
dances tough dances and isn't so
stingy that she worries about a kiss
or so now and then.
And what is she going to do about
it2
There Aren't Men.
Poor little thing-the old. old

as much Of a lie today as IL was
when Potiphar's wife told Joseph
that he never would get anywhere
in the world If he made such a fuss
about a little quiet love-making when
the master Of the house was not at
home
Yet Joseph got on in the world TO
some considerable extent. and was
a man of power and influence when
the low-minded fool who tried to
tempt him was a faded and forgot

Don't you believe il, girls-don't
you believe word OF it.
There are boys in high school, and
boys out OF high school. who will
take every means they can TO find
out the sort of girl you are-and
when they have found out they will
respect you accordingly
You don't want respect YOU want
love? Well. you'll get it, the right
kind OF love. and to get that you
won't have to degrade yourself
If you do degrade yourself. YOU
will never get any love that amounts
to anything anywhere or anyhow.
Business success? I've seen a
dozen poor. foolish iittle-girls give
up their own self-respect in order to
curry favor with some employer. and
then watch them lose their jobs.
while the girls who did their work
and kept the TOO amorOus employer
at distance, kept right or working,
and got their salaries raised too.
Exceptions on. OF course, there
are plenty OF them.
There are creatures who call
