FEDERATION of all groups and

restoration and conservation into a
Nation wide organization for concerted
action now is under way it is revealed
by Charles E. Clark. jr., chairman OF
the Committee on Conservation Of the
United States Junior Chamber Of

Such federation is one Of the ma
jor objectives Of the North American
Wild Life Conference, which President
Roosevelt has called 20 meet in Wash
ington February to 7, and the junior
chamber has volunteered its services
toward setting the wheels in motion.
It has long been recognized that lack
of coordination among existing or
ganizations is largely to blame for neg
lect of the country's wild life resources
and their consequent serious depletion
and the federation Is designed to meet
and correct this situation through
united action.
The country has been divided into
10 sections, each in charge Of a sub
chairman, who in turn has State
chairmen under him. The plan calls
for organization by county, State and
Nation OF the country's sportsmens
clubs, nature leagues, conservation as
sociations, farm groups and all others
interested In restoration, either from

base ball. Hickey, general manager OF
the st. Louis Cardinals and creator
of the chain-store system, drew a
salary Of $49,470. including bonus. for
the year 1894. This put him ahead
of Judge Lands. with $4,000; the late
Charles A. Stoneham. with s45,000;
Babe Ruth, with $36,696, and Joe Nc
Carthy, with $4,000.
Mind you, those digits apply to the
year 1884 There is no report as yet
for 1885, and there were many changes
in the past year. Hickey probably
didn't make as much, because his Car
dinalS failed to win the pennant.
Judge Lands was boosted to $1,000.
Babe Ruth didn't do so well. because
he tore up his contract with the Braves
In midSeaSon.
But the figures, even If they
are a year old, give you some
line on the kind of money they
toss back and forth in the ma
tional pastime.
For one thing, they show you that
the $4,000 mark is still pretty high.
Few rose above it. Chuck Klein and
Mickey Cochrane were right on the
line in 1884, with thirty grand apiece.
The late Frank Navin drew $40, 1000.
Eddie Collins is thought to have earned
more than 100000. though his figure
hasn't been checked yet.
Everybody believed Bill Terry was
up there in the neighborhood of
$4,000, but it turns out that he col
lected puny s27,500.
T Asst year, to the best of my recol-
lection, there were only two new
comers to the charmed circle-Lou
Gehrig, with a fresh contract calling
for 100000 or more. and Joe Cronin,
the high-priced brainpan of the Bos-

Gomez, Hubbell and Dizzy Dean

Now, this may be sordid stuff I am
giving you, but it can't help having
an interest for the loyal fan who really
pays those salaries And it's edifying
to glance back over the years and
