Mr.. Grimm asserts he is a very
naive fellow, who knows next to
nothing about how much cur
rency is paid to his players. in
asmuch as he is only their man
ager, but
"I'm all opposed to this talk
of slashing salaries as much as
so per cent, or even 40 per
cent, and 1 speak from the
managers point of view.
"The ball players, the guys
that pack 'em in the stands
AID keep the game going, are
ready to accept a moderate re-
ductiOn, but would you call SO
per cent moderate?
"If they cut Babe Ruth's sal
ary from $4,000 to $4,000
would you call that moderate?
when the Yankees beat the
Cubs in straight games in the
worlds series-wOuld you call
that moderator"
The National Association OF
Professional Baseball Leagues,
which is holding its annual con-
vention here, is just about con-
vinced that nothing else will save
the game, and even Branch
Rickey. vice president of the st.
Louis Cardinals, who has paid
some fancy salaries in his day, Is
in accord.
Two PIay-Off Series
In an effort to lessen the
anguish that must ensue when the
1888 contracts go out to the
players, the American Association
intends to adopt a plan whereby
there will be two play-off series
for the pennant with bonus
money for the players of each OF
the six clubs to finish in the race.
The plan was tentatively
adopted yesterday, but its details
were withheld, pending official
acceptance.
The money for the play-off, ac-
cording to the proposal, will be
raised by deducting 2 cents from
each admission received, thus
establishing a players pool.
Hopes of selling the Toledo
Mud Hens, American Association
baseball club, to a Toledo
capitalist greatly interested in
the game, were unusually bright
today.
Would Buy Receiver
While the club was hunting for
a purchaser late last week, three
Toledo men are now trying to
buy from AL E. Reuben, receiver,
in different transactions, it was
reported.
Decision probably will be made
by Reuben and the American
Association executive board this
week.

Proposed Members
Duluth, Winnipeg, Crookston,
Mimi; Grand Falls, N. D.; Little
Falls, S. D.; Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Eeau Claire, Wis, were pro-
posed for membership in the cir
cult, which would be called the
Northwestern League"
One obstacle appeared in the
way. That was the necessity of
having consent of st. Paul and
Minneapolis clubs in the American
Association for the installing of
other league teams in those cities.
Haas was listed as secretary-treaS-
urer of the proposed league.
Manager Bill Clymer was de-
clared victor today in his action
against the Scranton, Pa, team

it has awarded Clymer's claim.

FRENCH EAGLES
DISPLAY TALENT

Displaying uncanny ability to
pot shots from the floor last night
in their scrimmage against the
Bureau of Investigation. the
French's Eagles are confident they
will dispose of the Preston pros
of Philadelphia Sunday at 2:30
o'clock in G. w. gym.
- The Preston outfit comes to
Washington with reputation
hard to beat. Last year the
Quaker City five defeated prac'
tically every team in Philadelphia
and nearby. This year the Pres
ton pros have played three games
and copped all.
Old American League players
comprise the Preston roster. The
Eagles have such sharpshooterS
as Ralph Bennie, Joe Sweeney,
Bozie Berger, "Tubba' Farrell,
Moon" Evans, Eddie Colliflower
and Buddy Zimmerman.
An attractive preliminary brings
together the Delaware and Hud-
son and the OlmSted Grill fives.
This contest starts promptly at
1:3O o'clock. Both teams have
been playing great basketball this
season. In fact, the Hudson
quint is probably the strongest
unlimited team in the city. Bob
Gaylor, former Maryland U. star,
and George Beach, former Tech
star, play with the Delaware five.

It is very difficult to conceive
how the A. A. U. can be so two

commercialism. It's officers are
all well paid. it sanctions regis

YOUNG ITALIANS
ROLL GREEKS

An international battle is on
tap for Saturday night at Temple
when Tony Maley and Stuart,
two rising young Italian stars,
tangle with Doc Pappas and Nick
Chipouras, crack Greek pin
smasherS, in a doubles match,
starting at $50.
Maley and Patti are the main
stays of the Wild Turanians tied
for the lead in the Temple Minor
League, and Pappas and Chi
pouras are the stand-out per-
formers of the Sunrise Bakery
Greeks, now in third place.
Maley will meet Henry Amos
in head-to-head match prior to
the doubles.
It was wild and woolly night
in the Columbia Heights League
as Paul Harrison pounded out
t-7o 400" sets, a Ais and 412,
Perce Wolfe a 421, Dave Legum
Ala, and Karl Gochenour 4O7.
Ten games over $50 were rolled
with Harrison getting a 15S and

the rooms which were as stately and
handsome with the other paneling as
glass doors would have been. The OBJ
ject of the closets. as will be seen, was
for architectural and structural beauty
of proportions, and as such they are
often used today The vogue of glass
doors finds them so fitted with this
style rather than with paneled doors.
When corner cupboardS are built in
they have been planned for, and no
doorwayS interfere with their place
ment. When the homemaker has one
or more portable corner cupboards,
she has to consider them well when
planning q new home or when moving
into new quarters. For example, there
may be an excellent corner in a dining
room as far as the size is concerned,
but if a doorway comes just where the
entrance door usually opens it would
completely conceal it, and the decora-
tive value of the piece Of furniture is
entirely lost. Sometimes dining rooms
have such small wall space at corners,
on account of the situations Of win
dows, doors heating coils, ETC., that in
a large room there may be no place
for the cherished cupboard.
In speaking Of the decorative value
Of preSent-day corner cupboardS, with
glass doors affording glimpses of rare,
antique or ornamental pieces of china,
glass, etc, it should be remembered
that crowded shelves detract from the
decoration. Great care has to be given
to the arrangement of articles on the
shelves lest the melee confuses rather
than satisfies the artistic sense.

@ORNER cupboards in dining
rooms may be architectural fea-
lures primarily, or decorative
~ assets. In either instance they
are convenienceS. At one time
these closets were in high favor. To-
day their popularity has returned. 1t
is not every dining room, however, that
can house one of these cupboards. So
If you are building residence consider
the corners of the dining room in the
plans. Note if they lend themselves
gracefully to closets, in case 1t is your
wish to have one or more built into the
room, or if they have good inches into
which any cupboards you already have
can be suitably fitted.
When corner cupboards are intro
duced for architectural reasons they
are used to afford pleasing symmetry
to the room. As many as four OF these
closets are sometimes built IN, thus
forming q shaped room agreeable to a
round or square table, if a room Is
small. and marvelously well suited to
an oblong table if the dining room Is
large. The corners are Softened. and
suggest by their shape that something
of Importance should be placed In the
middle of the room. What more hitting

he would be serious contender. Byrns'
opportunity during the present session
Of Congress-in the incessant drive for
