of Players Incomes

Ty Cobb is actively pressing his
campaign to have the income tax
bureau Of the Treasury Department
make some concessions to the base
ball players in the matter Of income
tax.
Senator Calder OF New York has
been impressed with Cobb's argu.
ments and has promised to do all
he can to help the players. Cobb's
contention is that baseball players
have only one asset. That is their
physical ability, and he makes the
point that ball players deteriorate
rapidly. He shows that the average
life of a major Lacquer Is ten years,
ana that he Is slipping for the latter
part of that time.
