NO DRASTIC SALARY
CUTS FOR PLAYERS
II of is Big League Clubs
Held Opposed to Deep
SIashing of Pay.
BY JOE villa.

N yEW YORK, December 10.-Cries
N of economy going up from nu-
" merous minor league clubs have
created false impression as to
the financial condition of the National
and American Leagues as units.
Instead Of favoring drastic reduc-
tions of players salaries, IL OF the 10
big league clubs actually are opposed
to that policy. They are the Giants,
BROOKLYN, Boston Braves, Chicago CUBS,
Pittsburgh Pirates and Phillies OF the
National loop and the Yankees. Detroit
Tigers, Cleveland Indians, Chicago
white Sox and Athletics OF the Amer
ican.
National League records show that
the best money-making cities during
the last 40 years have been New YORK,
Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh and BROOK
lyn. Large base ball profits have been
enioved also by the American League
clubs in New York, Boston, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland.
THE Giants probably have made
L more money since John Joseph
McGraw picked up the managerial
reins 80 years ago than any other Ma
tional League club. Last season was
not so good from the standpoint OF
paid admissions, the big reason being
the unexpected slump of the team. 1t
was the same kind of form upset that
soured New York fans on the Giants
when they finished tailenders in 1918.
But the club didn't lose money that
year and broke somewhat better than
even on the late campaign at the Polo
Grounds.
New York fans want championship
ball. Proof of this lies in the turnstile
records at the Yankee Stadium, where,
In spite of a slight falling off in pa
tronage this year, the paid admissions,
together with those on the road, yielded
heavy balance on the right side OF
the ledger.
THE Giants need strengthening and
i IL they get desirable material, as
they should the New York club
again ought to take its place with the
other National League money-makers
in Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn ana
Pittsburgh. Extravagant ideas, OF
course, must be forgotten and wide
awake magnates are proceeding with
caution in preparing to reduce the
overhead.
Unnecessary expense items can be
Topped of here and there, but the task
of cutting players salaries will be per-
formed with moderation, as last re-
sort. That is the policy Of majority
of the club owners, who say that the
reported trials and tribulations OF pro-
fessional base ball have been exag-
gerated and there isn't the slightest
apprehension in big league circles as
to the future.

anese Ambassador Debuchi at
Washington. that a note was being
prepared containing such a stern
waring.
Reports from Toxic that Stimson
had been "adamant and excited
in his talk with the Japanese am

only point on which Stimson was
adamant, it was maintained, was
his inSiStence that Japan not use
the international settlement as a
military base. Representations on
this point had previously been
made to Toxic by the United States,
Great Britain, France and Italy.
The holding Japan legally re-
sponSible for damage at Shanghai
is only one line of action being
considered by Stimson and one on
which he does not lay exclusive
stress. Because of this the state
department today was somewhat
surprised at the Importance re-

Debuchi in his alleged report to
the japanese foreign office.

so.
In talk with Ambassador Kat

mentioned the possibility of this
nation taking the legal stand that
Japan would be responsible for
damage to life and property in the

highest authority it was learned,
however, that he mentioned this
only as possibility and not as

PARIS, Feb. II. (U.P)-Andre Tar

overthrown yesterday, appeared to-
day to be the most likely choice
to head a new government.
President Paul Dumer's confer

apparent they had agreed on the
necessity of a concentration cab
met on which the senate and
chambers would agree on a truce
long enough to allow a vote on
the budget and the holding of the
elections.
Such concentration could be
headed either by a senator or a
deputy and Tardieu's name came
to the fore. Added significance
lay in the fact that Dumer will
conclude his interviews with party
leaders and other prominent po-
litically tonight, but will withhold
his invitation to a premier -desig-
nate until tomorrow, when Tardieu
returns from Geneva.
