RULING PROHIBITS
PREM|UN|PAY|NE|VTS
IN MINOR LEAGUES
Action of Clubs Expected to
Players From: Blocking
Purchase Deals.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Minor league
stars will be cut off from extra COM
pensation in various forms under the
provisions of the 1922 players con-
tracts described in an official publica-
ton received here Thursday from
Secretary John II. Farrell of the Ma
tional Association of Professional Base
ball leagues.
No premiums for high batting rec
ords, extra home runs or unusual eff
fectiveness on the mound will be per-
mitted the announcement stated. The
contract forms were drafted at the re-
cent minor league meeting at Buffalo,
but not announced then.
One of the chief provisions will for
bid players from claiming or receiving
any portion of their purchase price by
another club.
More league magnates say the new
form will prevent players from block
ing deals by their action to refuse Q
transfer unless granted part of the
purchase money.
The new clause reads:
mo players contracts for services
in any league shall be promulgated by
the association except on the form pro-
vided and no additional clauses shall
be added to said uniform contract, nor
shall any clauses be eliminated there
from. No player shall receive any
bonus or extra compensation of any
kind or character and shall receive no
part of any draft or purchase price
paid for assignment of his contract"

ATHLETES SWEATERS
NOT FAVORED BY
STATE HIGH SCHOOLS
Result of QUESTIONABLE Shows
Majority Opposed to Plan
of Recognition.

As the result of 20 questionaires sent
out by the student council Of the high
school to other schools Of the state
asking which ones gave sweaters to
athletes and what the general opinion
of the idea was, 10 replied that they
are not in favor of the movement, five
were for it and three were undecided
The question came up to the council
at the end of the football season and it
was approved only that there was no
practical means Of financing the pur
chase.
The only athletic fund in the school
is in the athletic association and this
is not strong enough to warrant giving
sweaters to winners on teams The
reason for the delinquency in this as
sociation's fund is that the attendance
at football games during the past sea-
son was not large enough to establish a
surplus and also the trips which the
Blue and White were obliged to pay
for when other aggregations came to
Great Falls.
When the question of finance was
brought up, it was suggested that only
senior graduating members of teams
be given sweaters and that stripes sig
nIfylng the number OF years IN ath-
letics be sewn on the sleeve, but that
too was rejected for the same reason.
The cost of sweaters for the fifteen
1921 football men would approximate
5000.
When interviewed on this subject by
Captain Ted Peterson of the pigskin
team, S. d. Largent. superintendent of
schools. said that he favored buying
the sweaters as long as the money was
taken from some strictly athletic fund
of the school.
It was brought out that the Billings
school awarded sweaters to members
Of its football teams, but later it was
acknowledged that the business men Of
that city financed the purchase when
ever the school turned out state
championship eleven. But few Montana
high schools give sweaters

SEATTLE TRAGEDY
HAS LOCAL ANGLE
Woman Sought Was Injured
Three Years Ago by Former
Falls Resident.

Discovery of the body of Ferdinand
Hochbrunn, wealthy retired real es-
tate dealer, at Seattle, Thursday, and
the search by coast police for Miss
Clara e. Skarin, former Seattle
telephone exchange operator, reminded
Great Falls people that the woman
figured three years ago in a tragedy
in which Mrs. Cleo Winbern, formerly
of this city, slightly injured the
Skarin woman with a revolver, killed
Mrs. Skarin, ST., and then committed
suicide.
Mrs. Winbern and her husband,
Robert L. Winbern, a barber, lived
in Great Falls for several years, leav-
ing here some 10 years ago. Mrs.
Winbern was pianist in old Luther
hall and her husband operated a bar
ber shop. An Associated Press dis
patch Thursday stated that the Seat
tie police learned that after the shoot
ing Miss Skarin went to Detroit,
Mich, to visit Winbern when he was
i'll. Letters and kilograms addressed
to Miss Skarin and to CLARA Win
bern" and signed by Robert Win
bern" were found in Miss Skarin' S
trunk in Seattle Thursday when the
police began the search for her.
Seattle police believe that Miss
Skarin can throw some light on Hoch-
brunn's death The body was found
on the floor of an alcove, where it
had evidently laid for two months, near
a bedroom that had been occupied by
Miss Skarin. She was said to have
frequently visited the apartment
within the last two months, disap-
pearing about December 3.

of it will be shipped directly to Great
