Streets were strewn with dead bodies and wounded participants. There were wrecked automobiles, discarded armament. and thous- ands of spectators in whom fear, amaZement, curiosity and wrath fought for supremacy. Death of the two bandits and their chauffeur who started tic blood running above the Harlem river when they deliberately shot down a payroll guard was the sig nal for the end of the gunfire. The dead and wounded included chase after the holdup and the lit- tie girl.

BIG SALARY PAIRING
DEEMED UNLIKELY
Large Sum Paid Babe Ruth
Indirect Standard for
Players Worth.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

n JEW YORK, November I'll
M Despite all the talk and
4 Y rumors that major league
owners have had q confer
ence at which they agreed TO
institute a salary reduction plan
for the coming season, this Is not
true. With the exception Of the
pay Of waning stars and up-and-
coming rockies, it is probable that
little difference will be noted in
the majority Of major league
players salaries in 1882.
For two years the salaries Of big
league ball players have been based
on an indirect standard, the large sum
paid to Babe Ruth by the owner Of
the New York Yankees. The players
have had less knowledge Of this than
the owners. The tendency on the part
Of owners has been upward rather than
toward q curtailment Of the pay Of
their men One reason for this has
been the disposition to be as liberal as
possible with base ball doing wei and
the second reason was based mildly on
the generous pay to Ruth.
Feel Ruth Due Big Pay.
Ball players, in their clannish way,
are never overenthusiastic about top
heavy salaries to a few players. The
case of Ruth has been q rare excep-
ton, because the players subconsciously
senSed the idea that as long as Ruth
was highly paid there would be dis
position on the part Of owners to give
all players as much as they could az
ford. So they have accepted Ruths
salary more graciously than they other
wise would.
When Ruth was signed to his large
contract with the New York Americans
Col Jake Rupert, the owner, knew
that its terms would appear to be dis
proportionate to the general run of
base ball salaries. So he called all the
American League owners into his coun-
sci, placed the situation before them
and asked them to express their ideas
about it. He did not wish to adopt
policy that would be disadvantageouS
to them. They agreed that he was
right about Ruth and perhaps at that
meeting mild determination was born
to pay all players as well as possible. =.
New Terms for Babe.
The Ruth contract is to be renewed
this year. Neither Ruth nor his en-
ployer has given public utterance re-
garding the maximum of its amount,
although Ruth naturally has said he
expects large sum of money, main
tanning the ground that he is still Of
great value to the team.
1t is not likely that a long-term con-
tract will be entered into. Shrewd base
ball men agree that Ruth will be q
valuable player in 1882, but the ques-
ton IS how much farther he can 20
after 1882. There Is an impression
that when he Cracks" rs it Is termed
in base ball, it viii be quick.
