Waynesboro, Sept. Sat the Ro-
tary Club dinner, given In honor OF
the local baseball directors and
Manager Morris, the principal adj
dress was made by President j. V.
Jamison of the Blue Ridge League.
One could not say, after hearing
Mr.. Jamison, that he was optimis-
tic. Neither would it be fair to dub
him a pesslmist. Mr. Jamison ex-
pressed his opinion of conditions
"as he sees them" He said that
he is seriously concerned as to the
future of baseball in this league
That events have TRANSFERRED In the
last 80 days that cause him to doubt
very seriously whether there will
be league next year, unless string
ent remedial measures are at once
adopted.
He said he could not help feel
that league days are over, because
OF the hard feelings that exist, be-
cause of the animosty that has
been aroused. He said no one could
organize a new baseball club In Ha-
gerstown today He hoped that the
people of Waynesboro. as well as
the other towns in the league, will
at once take steps to counterfeit the
harm done.
District Attorney G. II. Clipping
er, who followed Mr.. Jamison, said
that due to Mr.. Jamison's high posi-
tion he should know whareof he
speaks and invoked the spirit of Ro.
tary, the personal efforts OF Rotar.
ians in the league towns to help
straighten out the tangle.
w. r. Dawson, Esq. did moi
agree with either OF the speakers
He said he could not see it thai
way. He thought the constant wor
ry of Mr.. Jamison's position in these
strenuous times. had perhaps given
him a case of nerves" and caused
him to look on the dark side of til

Country Morris responded to a

FANS CONSIDERING
DRASTIC CHANGES
IN LEAGUE AFFAIRS
Says The HagerstoWn Herald
Today.

Fans throughout the circuit, now
that the curtain is about to be
drown over the 1921 Blue Ridge
League season, are asking them
selves whether the league will be
organized again next year, whether
Hagprstown wiz, after what has
happened during the past few
months, consent again to be a mem
Der of the circuit. President jam
ison seemed to take very pesti-
mistic view of the chances of the
league to again be organized-that
is, with HagerstOWn as member.
No doubt, the other five towns could
and would again form n league and
replace Hagerstown with some other
small town in this section. No
doubt the league would run along
just as we'll without Hagerstown.
If there was a possibility of or
ganizing another league, in which
Harrisburg, Cumberland, Altoona,
York and Lancaster were members,
Hagerstown would not hesitate a
moment to give up its Blue Ridge
League franchise Although such
an organization is long way off,
sentiment, it appears is growing in
two Of the toWns-Cumberla and
Harrisburg, for such an organiza
ton.
However, If such an organization
should not materialize, Hagerstown
may have to be contended with
Glass ID baseball again next season.
But it will force quite few changes
in the rules and regulations before
it will consent to become mem
Der Of the league.
Had the rules as passed regard
ing the "class" player limit, the sal
airy limit and n few others been
more explicit this year. there would
have been none of the wrangline
that has marked the last two
months. Had a penalty been por
yided whereby a team forfeited the
games in which it was found to
be breaking any Of these regula-
tiOns, Hagerstown probably would
have been more cautious and after
it had been caught with give" class
men, would have accepted the pen
atty without whimper. Had the
bonus" clause been inserted in the
rules, Waynesboro perhaps would
have had to take its medicine when
that team admitted slipping Wick
Winslow $3.50 besides his 81 900 sal
airy.
And last Of all, there will be one
rule, which quite few Of the
teams broke ghis year, including
Frederick. which Hagerstown will
insist be adopted by the Blue
Ridge League. That is, that no
player can be paid at any time,
any sum, aside from the amount
called upon in his contract In
the case Of Kimmick and Day, Of
Waynesboro and Frederick respec-
lively, both of these men received
larger salaries. were not satisfied
with these and forced these teams
to promise them a larger percent
age Of the purchase money provid-
ed they were sold at the end of
the season. In the Kimmick deal,
the Waynesboro Club is out OF
luck, Kimnick and Manager Nor
ris getting most Of the money re-
ceived for the infelder from the
Cincinnati Reds. Day had Just this
kind of a contract with Frederick.
Nothing was provided prohibiting
this Tractice, 50 naturally those
who were wise took advantage of
this means Of getting good play
er for less money and still keep
ing within the salary limit. These
little loOpholes should be plugged

BILLY rs TO

It was stated today at the City
Hall that Traffic Officer Barber
had been instructed to make p spec
ialty of arresting speeders and VIC
lators of the traffic laws. Hereto

in this work with splendid results
as attested by the flow of fines in
to the city exchequer. Now, Billy

SPEEDER GETS
OUT OF JAIL

Arrested carly Thursday morning
on the charge Of operating a motor
cycle in a reckless manner, Will
liam stoneking, who claimed his
home was in Missouri, was locked
in the outer corridor of the Hancock
iail until Friday morning. However,
when the officer came to get Stone
king in the morning the prisoner
was found missing. During the
night he had cut his way out of
the lookup and made good his es-
cape. 1t is now believed by the au-
thorities that the man probably had
stolen the machine, for he would
have hardly broken Jail had he only
figured he would have to face
charge of speeding.
