mum Pay Envelope to $500
Per Month

Chicago, Nov. 19.-(P)-The Amer
lean Association club owners Thurs
day considered one of the most dras-
tic wage cuts in years. Several 9TH
ers, including the major leagues, were
expected to follow suit in greater or
lesser degrees.
Under the proposal, the maximum
player salary would be limited to a
maximum of 5000 monthly. For years
scores Of former major leaguers
roamed around the Class IA league
with salaries close to the ones they
received for big time baseball.
Such a drastic wage reduction un-
doubleday would end the playing days
of major league cast-0ffS In short or.
der as most Of them refuse to con-
tinue in the game for much less than
they received in the majors.
Thomas jefferson Hickey still held
the presidential seat Of the American
Association today, victor of another
fight to GUST him. When the ballot
ing became q hpeless 4 to 1 deadlock
after two days the club owners voted
unanimously to give him a one years
contract as they did q year ago.

public record-the queer tale of

mouth and has been biting on
intricate problems ever since.

drives were not for him. The
machination of industry heaped
high his financial returns, but

"A few weeks ago, Mr.. Jones
ceased his unrelenting labors
for a few moments and pur-
chased a car. He had no in
tention of breaking out in a
social splurge. Far from it. He
felt that the automobile would
help him save time-and conse-

AS Barrie describes his char
