GREEDY PLAYERS ARE
WEAKENING BASEBALL
Avarice, Strikes and Gambling
Scandals Hurt Game.
Big League Club Owners May Decide
to Abolish Worlds Series Or 0i.
vide Net Receipts Among
Themselves in Future.

So much trouble in baseball has been
caused by the playing of the worlds
series that the big league club owners
may decide either to abolish the games
altogether or to divide the net receipts
among themselves. says well known
baseball veteran, in Evening Sun.
The players are responsible for the
hostile attitude of some of the mag
mates. who say that the squabbles over
worlds series shares are co,nmercializ-
ing baseball to such degree that
craftsmanship soon may be of no i'm
portance.
Greed for gold is creating much III
feeling in the camp of the Yankees.
Although the players received hand
some salaries last year, with about
$500 each extra for winning third po-
sitiOn, under the new worlds series
rules. they grumbled because the
groundkeeper. the trainer and two as.
sistant secretaries were included in the
melon cutting.
In spite of heavy financial burdens.
which the owners of the Yankees have
shOuldered the players threatened to
call strike unless their demands
were granted. They were prepared to
deprive their employers of gate re-
ceipts from exhibition games. which
hardly pay the expenses of the south
ern training trip.
Avarice on the part of ball players
is slowly but surely discouraging and
disgusting the public. When the Cubs
and Red SOX. during the 1918 worlds
series in Boston. struck for more
| money than they were entitled to, un-
der the rules adopted by the national
commission. they dealt the game q
body blow.
Last year certain players openly ex.
pressed desire to be traded to teams
that appeared to have chances to par.
ticipate in the worlds series. Sew.
eral stars have repudiated contracts
for the purpose of getting more money
elsewhere.
With charges of collision between a
few players and professional gamblers
shaking the confidence of the fans. il
cannot be denied that baseball needs 4
tremendous shakeup.

ALTROCK SAYS OLD AGE

Uncle Nick Altrock. the bird

he may appear on the coaching
line one Of these days behind

must be getting old after all.

HUNTERS USING ATRPLA-NE
 TO KILL BIRDS

Washing ton, Feb. 9-The first ar rest under the Migratory Bird Treaty act for hunting wild fowl from an air plane was made in Missouri recently when the long arm of the law reach ed into the air and seized two men for hunting and killing wild geese from an air craft.
 The arrest was made by a ward en Of the Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture, which ad- ministers the Migratory Bird Treaty act. Following their arrest the hunt CTS made the trip to the office of the United States Commissioner at Ca rlthersville, Mo. in their plane. They had previously boasteu of their ability, while flying, to herd the geese more effectively than sportsmen on the ground can possibly do,
 Hunting of the sort in which they engaged is specifically forbidden by the federal law and the regulations thereunder. Several states have pass ed laws forbidding hunting from air. planes, among them being California. Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina and South Carolina. There is consid- erable sentiment in sporting circles against the practice. on the groun l that it is nspoftsmanlilSe.

 Their mother kissed them, and they were taken away by their new mast CTS two to Louisianian named Dougherty, the other to a Tennesseean named Drane. Time passed, emanct- patton came, but the negro youths re- mained with their masters, who were kind.
 In days that came they learned to read and write a little, and finally learned of the whereabouts of their mother, who. too, had been faithful to her former owners. Recently three negroes, bent with age, their white, ktnky locks like snow, met in Louis vile.
 George Drane crowed delightfully."- as his brothers. Phil and Charley Dougherty, chorused, ''De great days done clna.''
