SALARIES MAY BE
 CUT NEXT SEASON
Baseball Players Will Be Asked to Take 25 Per Cent Reduction

| New York, June 13 UP)-
 Around baseball circles a topic of i conversation these days concerns the players salaries for next season. From many sources comes infor- nation that the majority of major league ball players will be asked to accept 2s per cent reductions. The recent one-day strike of the Syracuse baseball club of tho New York Pennsylvania League over 1 nno-payment Of salaries brings up the question:: What would happen if the major league players declared | strike?
 Many prominent players in the big leagues have expressed them- selves as in favor of retiring from baseball rather than accept a 2S per cent cut.
 Seldom does the individual player ever win out in a salary argument with the magnate, who has more than one way of getting his revenge. The major league career of many player has been shortened because of his salary demands, just or un- just. Magnates have gambled with their pennant chances. and even lost. in their desire to punish play CTS guilty of holding out. However. a general strike of base ball players all over the major leagues might be something the ma gnates might not be able to cope with. Even Commissioner Landis might not be equal to the occasion it a large group of major league players refused to accept reduc- ton in salary.
 It is the opinion of several players that Babe Ruth holds the key to the situation. If the Babe recovers an1 has good season. this group con- tends that Col. Ruppert is not likely 10 ask him 10 take cut in salary follow suit
 Ruins three-year contract calling for sl0. .0oo season terminates at the close Of the current season. and Ruth has said that he will ask the Yankees for $10O.oo0 if they offer Eim only a one-year contract.
 Ruth. Gehrig and Hornshy are hasehall's three highest priced stars. Gehrig draws s25.0oO and Hornsby, it is said. s4o.0Oo from the Cubs.
 Some of the other high priced players are Dazzy Vance $ch,0oo. Ed Roush &1S,oon. Rurleigh Grimes S17.oo0. Waite Hoyt S17.5no. Mickey cocbraue Si5 ono and Herb Tenn0ck S15 5000.
 Of this srouo all except Cochrane. Grimes and Hoyt are liable to have their salaries cut if the magnates decide 10 cut down expenses The players on the second iiNi- sion clubs however. are tho ones who are likely 10 suffer the worst.

BUNTS WERE DOWNFALL OF
SOTHORON IN BIG LEAGUES
BY NORMAN Z. BROWN
Central Press Sports Writer.

The other day Ping Bodie. one Of
bsseball's old-tiniers, announced his
positive retirement from baseball.
Ping Bodie, based on his desire
TO crash out ringing base hits, was
one Of the great batters Of the game.
All any manager had to do to ruin
the day for Ping was to suggest TO
him that he lay down q bunt. He
just couldn't see bunting.
And as far as Allan Sothoron. new
~ appointed manager Of the Louis
vile American association team, is
concerned. his baseball life would
have been one grand sweet song 20
date had all ball players been like
Ping.
For Sothoron's inability to field
hunts blasted hopes that he might
have held Of becoming a great pitch
er. He was virtually hunted out Of
the major leagues.
He carried the stuff with him
when he broke into the majors. The
year 1914 found him breaking into
baseball. and his first year he
had stood the sunset coast league on
its head by winning 30 ball games,
losing but II. He had broken into
81 games and hurled a total of 397
1-3 innings. indicating that he had
earned the laurels won.
Not only that but he had twisted
his shoots around the necks Of the
willy old vets and keen-eyed young
sters Of the league for a total Of 202
~strikeouts.
But his awkwardness in fielding
his position spelled his ruin. AS soon
as il was discovered the crafty big
league bstters began 10 work on it.
They literally hunted him TO death,
Hours and hours Of earnest prsc-
tice on Sothoron's part failed TO i'm
