There have been two serious fires
in New York recently. one Of which
cost eleven lives. the other driving
eighty families from their homes. 1t
takes longer to build dwelling place
than 1t does to burn one down. Fire
prevention is important as a factor
in relieving the housing problem. A
little more care means many fewer
fires.

his seasons work. He was worth not
mora than $4,000 to his club. dis
covered by accident that he never de-
manded $4,000.
He made two suggestions az to sal
airy; one that he be paid $500 and
bonus, another that he be pdi': $500
and bonus. provided he wins rs many
games this season as he did Est-a
sporting proposition.
He made 4 blunder in not notifying
every sporting writer in his district cN-
actly what his demands were just AZ
soon as his club stated he demanded
$4,000 Had ne done this. ne would
have won public sympathy As it was.
ne was treated as holdup man, al
though the only way his club could
figure his demand at $4,000 was hy add
ing his salary to his bonus and then
adding what he might possibly get from
world series.
Never promise any man anything
conditonally, because. II you do no
always can figure he deserves It,
whether he docs or not.
In doping rennant races It would be
a tremendous help il one could know
the terms Of each players contract.
For instance. If l knew whether u bonus
had been promised Il certain player It
would be a straight tip as 10 whether
he will be good or bad.
There used to be 4 rulo forbiddinG
clubs Offering conditional bonuses TO
players. The bonus system has been
tried for thirty years. never has pro-
duced good results and never will. The
bonus is very C"od--when tn" team
wins and the bonus is paid. TIL"
records viii show that the majority Of
holdouts in baseball! history have BEEN
duo to unpaid bonuses.
The trouble with the bonus system Is
this: That the moment Il bonus is
promised the management; might as we'll
pay it. For. no matter what hrpprrs.
the player will figure he is entitled 10
it. even though h" fails entirely to ac-
Complish the conditions set
For instance. last season Il pitcher
was promised L certain bonus if ne won
twelve gant's for his club He won
seven. At the end Of tn" season he de-
manded his bonus. He claimed that H.,
would have won lively" easily. but tho
manager had played favorit"S and
pitched him in the hard games; ~
charged that the bum shortStop" lost
two games for him that should have
been won. He claimed he really won
nine games, but the scorers credited
other pitchers with winning after he
had been taken out.
The club owner was wise. r." knew
the pitcher was wrong. but paid him.
knowing that refusing 10 do 50 would
probably mean Il diSrnntcnted. kicking
