Give Teachers More
Pay to Match
Coaches

A loud protest over the high
salaries paid to football coaches
comes from the South. T. w.
Harris, State superintendent of
education in Louisiana, has pro-
tested against the $4,000 salary
which Louisiana State Univer-
sit is to pay Mike Donahue
next season.
He-says: Coaches should not
be placed upon a pedestal above
other teachers and should not
be paid more than the heads Of
other departments of the COL
leges." He pointed out that the
president of Louisiana is paid a
salary Of $500.
The argument of the football
folks is that the controversy
could easily be adjusted by pay
ing the president more money.

He Is Undesirable "

IT Is the general impression
that Benton has told conflict
- ing stories and that he has
proved so unreliable in his state
ments that a majority of club
owners in the National League do
not regard him as a desirable
player.
Should Hermann resort to
court proceedings in behalf of
Benton, there probably would be
no evidence revealed damaging
enough to bar the pitcher: The
league, however, could fight any
such court procedure by using
Herzog and backing UP his con-
tention that Benton made certain
ugly charges that could not be
substantiated.

Each spring the fans are told Of
the addition of many youngsters.
These rockies go South, work out
for four or five weeks and then
strangely disappear. Here and
there a few hang on, but where one
lasts out the full major league sea-
son, five or six others fall by the
wayside and 60 back to the bushes.
The going is rough in the big
leagues.
Because Of the quick passing Of
the rockies, the fans seldom note
the slower fading Of the heroic
veterans. Here and there, like
Babe Adams, some one Of them
quits in a blaze of glory, but more
simply slide out of sight. They are
here today and gone tomorrow. In
their places are younger, fresher
lads.
One Of these former heroes, Zeb
