BASEBALL SALARIES SHOW
SHRINK AGE
(By United Press.)

New York, Nov. 13.-Ideas that the
public has about the huge salaries
paid to baseball players are exagger-
ated and far from correct, according
to several prominent players.
In the activities leading up to the
organization of the players union,
the wide variance between the money
actually paid to the players and the
salary the public believed they were
drawing was surprising, the leaders
among the players maintain. 49,. E.
Babe Ruth, for instance, is generally
supposed to be drawing $4,000,
whereas it is said he is getting not
much more than one-half of this
amount.
During the trial Of the BLACK Sox"
players, it was surprising the rather
nominal salary drawn by star play
ers, who were considered to be among
the highest salaried players in the
game.
One of the pitching stars of the re-
cent worlds series was said to be work
ing on a $4,000 year contract when
he was released by one club.
Some of the big stars are drawing
salaries commensurate with their
playing ability and their attraction at
the gate, but the general run of sal
aries paid to the ordinary players is
not anything near what the public
think.
Club owners do not make a prac-
tice of opening their books and show
ing their payroll. Perhaps they are
not responsible for allowing the dopes-
tiers to figure out what the PLAYERS
should be getting In justice to them
it would seem they are guilty only III
that they do not correct the false i'm
uressions and that would be bad busl-
ness.

George Owen, the Harvard half
back, is the greatest back in college
football history. He can do more
things we'll than any other back
have ever SEEM" he says.
Those who have recollections OF
Thorpe, Coy, Gipp and other greats
NAV differ with the doctor but coach

Football is becoming q sport OF ire
mendous public appeal When FIVE
major games in the middle Of the sea-
son will draw 228.OO0 spectators, there
is something to the game.
In addition to the spectacle offered
by the college atmosphere, the color
and the roofing, there is growing
understanding among the fans OF the
tremendous "heayt". in the players.
Mallory. the Yale halfback, one OF
the greatest defensive players IN tne
game gave an exhibition Of the game
ness" that makes football in the con-
test against the Army.
Although he was carrying seven
nice boils and mere motion was the
source of terrific pain, ne went INTO
the game Just after the start when
Scott, his substitute, had been knock
ed out.
Mallory played through the entire
game and when the pile cleared ne

Anyone who ever had boil, anyone
who every played football, knows that
they don't come much gamer than that

The PubEc's Interest In
Telephone Earnings

The public IS directly interested in the quality
of service furnished by this Company and what
it pays for such service.
1t foIlows then that the public is concerned
in the Company's earnings, because if the earn
ings are inadequate, the service cannot be main
tanned at high standard. On the other hand,
if earnings are excessive, the public is entitled
TO lower rates.
The aim of this Company has always been TO
charge rates that will yield fair but not Excess
sive return on the investment. This is necessary
to attract the capital required to keep step
with the growth and progress Of the COM
munity There have been times when in
come has not been sufficient to meet operating
expenses. Such was the case during and after
the World War.
When we were forced finally to seek relief
through increased rates. did not ask the
State Corporation Commission to approve rates
high enough to yield fair return. We hoped
that the future would bring reductions in costs
and that increased efficiency would be Oh
tanned. This, together with moderate increases
In rates, we hoped would resuI: within
sonable time in providing sufficient revenues to
yield fair return. '~' ''
The Commission, in authorizing rate in
creases, stated that the new rates would yield
return OF about $500 or the value of
property.
During the tive years that have passed since
these rates were established, we have directed
every energy toward furnishing the best pos
s;bIe service ard toward the eGecting of econ

New York, Feb. 2l.-Morc than
100000 was raised in the first month
of the nationwide movement 10 cstah-
lish the Woodrow Wilson Foundation,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, chairman Of
the national committee, announced
here today.
Partial reports from the State
chairmen Of the movement, based on
the returns up to February Is, just Il
month from the opening of the active
campaign, showed that more than one
half OF the minimum goal had been
attained, Mr.. Roosevelt said. Although
the campaign is actively under way in
every State II the country, many Of
the State chairmen were unable as yet
to estimate the amounts raised in their
States toward the fund Of 81 100000
or more to endow the Woodrow Wilson
awards.

throughout the country has been

of what are DEADLY recognized as
temporary pavement types. The day
of the gravel and macadam roads for
heavy traffic is past, they say. The
maintenance expenditures which such
roads entail make them, in the long
run, far more expensive than the per-
manent types. In every instance en-
gineers are contending for the best
possible type because they realize that
high first cost means longer service
and, consequently, greater economy.

VIRGINIA FARM SALES

Increased activity III the market
for Virginia farm lands is reported by
the E. A. Strout Farm Agency. Inc,
in statement just issued showing
that it sold 41 farms in this state
last year, a gain of nearly 100 per
cent over 1920.
1t is a striking fact during the year
1921 when the public generally sup
posed the farm business was on the
toboggan, this agency did greater
business than ever before in its Il
years Of selling farms and records
total transfers as 5,11l farms at a
total valuation of S20,000,00G.
This is attributed by Z. a. Strout,
President of the Strout Agency, lcc.,
to the fact that there is an active
demand for small general farms pro-
ducing diversified crops and that the
owners OF that class arc in a pretty
comfortable position.
Virginiars purchased 9 Of the Vlr-
ginia farms sold by that agency. or
the other buyers 6 came from Penn
syivania, ) from Illinois, 4 from
Michigan, ., from the District OF Col
umbia and Maryland, and one each
from New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana,
Georgia, North Carolina, Texas,
Tennessee, West Virginia, Colorado
and California.
Firginians were also active buyers
Of farms in other states during the
year, 81 seeking new homes elsewhere.
CT these, the larger number, II, went
to Maryland. 10 to Florida, and 2
each to New York and New Jersey.
