LIMIT
Of NATIONAL
PROVES JOKE
American League Follows
Own Plan and Brings
Laugh To National.
SALARY LIMIT HAS
NEVER HELD GOOD

NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-The repeal OF
~ the astonishing salary limit law
put across by the magnates OF the Ma
tionai league indicates once again
that the American league is setting
the pace IN matters OF vital import
When the good old National league
magnates got their heads together
and set a limit Of 81. 900 a month on
salaries they firmly believed that the
American league would follow suit.
But the American did nothing OF the
kind.
Instead. Ban johnson an
nOunced that HIS club owners had
discussed the salary question in
December and had decided that
salaries be regulated By indivfd-
nal clubs And this left the M
tionaI alone to face n storm Of
ridicuIe.
Thus il happened that president
Heydler and his maEnates met once
more, kicked the salary limit law into
the discard. and announced that Il
had been found 'unworkable and in
sufficient"
The storm Of unfavorabIe comment
which greeted the National leagues
action was enough to have brought
about the repeal OF the law But had
the league stood on its original &C
ton the law would have held about az
much water as a sieve. for several
among them AfcGraw. came
out with nat statements that II
wouldn't ever hold.
Always Failure.
There has never been a salary limit
IN any league that held good. The
minors have tried out the plan Of
setting salary limits time and again,
and every time they did the limit was
overshot by one or more clubs and
promptly died q horrible death.
The argument Of Garry Hermann
In favor OF the 81. 600 limit sounded
well enough. because he applied II to
his own club. He declared that Gin
cinnai could keen within the limit
without cutting the pay OF its main
stars. But what might do FOR Gin
cinnati would not do for other clubs.

possibility OF Dempsey's defeat loomed
in their minds.
The fight was one Of the cleverest
exhibitions OF skill IN lodging, side
stepping. ducking and foot work in
pugilistic history. Time after time
McCaffrey turned loose his terrible
right. but not once did he land IT,
Mindful Of his wager. Dempsey used
all his skill in keeping out Of reach
Of the sleep wallop. and concentrated
on defensive rather than offensive
tactics. Even at that Jack occas-
ionally got IN a neat left that Jared
his big antagonist. and he not only
won his bet, but was awarded the de-
cisiOn on points.
Three years before this bout McCaf-
frey had stayed six rounds with John

turning the trick at which 50 many
had tried and failed. McCaffrev also
fought Jim CorNett in 1S9Ehut was
defeated in four rounds.

GREAT EXHIBITION OF SKILL
One OF the most daring Wagers ever

was that in which Jack Dempsey. the

Dcminick McCaffrey. one of the cicv

be able TO land his right during the
battle OF ten rounds The wager was
made during a dinner held in the

weighed only 152 pounds Dominick
had a great reputation for putting
over sleep punch, and his right hand

qualities He had often demonstrated
his Cleverness in putting over that
right, and when Dempsey wagered
that Dominick couldn't land IL once
in ten chapters il looked like taking q
long chance.
Al that time McCaffrev was seeking
a match with Charley Mitchell. and
he hoped TO demonstrate his right to
meet the Englishman by whipping
Dempsey. The news Of the wager
went about New York. and a big
crowd OF sports filled the Pavonia
rink in Jersey City on the night OF
January 80 1855. NcCaffrey was not
only 20 pounds heavier than Demp-
sey. but he also had a big advantage
in height and reach. II was the gen

would like to hear how I got wound
ed. We have the right to tell now so
/ am going to tell you how it hap
pened. The night of the oath of
September we took to the trenches.
1t was so dark that we couldn't see
the man ahead of us, SO to be able
to keep in contact with the man, we
had to keep one hand on e..ch other.
About eleven o'clock that night, the
fun started. It was a quis. sector,
when we got up there, but believe me-,
! it was no quiet sector when our
artillery opened up on the Germans.
Some of our big guns shook the
ground so hard that the dirt fell off
| the sides of the trenches. At $500 on
the morning of September 26, we
went over the top with not German
in sight. Our artillery had driven
them back SO far that we hiked steady
all that day until $3.50 in the evening,
but then we sure struck hard resist
ance. About eleven o'clock the Huns
threw over three shrapnels and the
second one is the one that got me.
There were three of US wounded with
the same shell. I was laying right
alongside one of the boys from Little
Falls and he never got scratched.
Right after getting hit, we got orders
to move forward, and 1 didn't realize
that l was hit until 1 felt the blood
running down my neck. AS soon as
l realizsd l was hit, l looked up the
first aid station and they bandaged
up my head and sent me back to a
dug out i'm a town. There wasn't
building in that town but had been
wrecked by the big shells.
You can't imagine how the land
has been wrecked where the big bat
ties have taken place. There were
holes in the ground so large that one
could hide whole company of men
in them, and that is $50. We found
some dug-outs that had cement floors
and electric lights. The Germans
must have expected to spend the
winter in them, but that's the time
the Yanks showed them what they
were made of. All of this happened
on the Verdun front.
Well, we licked the Germans all
right and it didn't take long either
when the Americans got after them.
1t was my first time on the front
when I got hurt. I was put in C.
class when I was up for the board
so was attached to this hospital unit.
The patients are leaving here now.
There were 1900 men that left for
dear old America today. We expect
to be leaving for the same place soon,
but can't say exactly when. All B.
and G. class go home so that means
that I go home too. One thing am
sorry for, that is, that I never killed
a Hun. had good intentions, but was
hit before got any.
1t is no use to answer this letter,
for you won't get this before around
Christmas and by that time l expect
to be in the United States. Don't b

closing behind him of the doors of his
