Thcia nro many fans who tinned nway from major league baseball when thu prlcen wero rulsed n few years ago, and tho latent action of tho lcaguo Is likely to loio It more nuppuilcrn President Baker declares that theio was no way to avoid this action, nnd that ho Inti-mlt to remodel tho I'hllly park bo that tho fans will bavo bettei ncroiuinudatluiis fur tho Increased prlca. Nothing has been definitely dccldul upon, but It Is belluved that a covering will bo put over thu left field seats and the only twenty-live cent section will be In docp center field. National League Acts Too Slowly S EVE HAL prominent baseball men at tho meeting vveiu v-erj much peeved at the falluro of tho senior organization to uct on several Important subjects licforo hearing wh,at tho American Lcuguo proposed to do Thero weto many telegrams exchanged nnd long dlntanco phono calls beforo the National Lcaguo acted on any thing', and the meeting was two lus longer than It should have been If the affairs had beon handled In a buslncssllkn maunei Tho 'Joker" In the new cuntiact nlso caused votcranu tu tldlculo tho magnates. They contend that tho magnates should havo known enough to lead tho now document over carefully after It had been passed upon by thn committee of lawjers selected to draw up a contract that 'OUld bo binding, but which would stand a test In tho United States courts It Is said that tho new document will full to accomplish this purpose It put lo a test. Houghton's Suggestion Makes Favorable Impression PERCY HAUGHTON mada a great hit with his suggestion that stops bo taken to lncrcaso the batting and bane running. Tho more the magnates talked on this subject tho bettor they liked Haughton'a Idon, nnd the appointment of u com mittee to confer with representatives of the American League makes It virtually certain that soma scheme will be tried. Most of tho National Lcaguo owners favor tho abolishing of tho spit-ball, but they ngreo that such a atop could not bo taken for a year or two, as almost every team In tho lcaguo would bo weakenod too nuddenly. It la pointed out that closo to one third of the major league pllcbora uao tho aplttor nt times, while one fourth of tho hurlera use nothing but tho moist ball. Tho Idea of giving batsmen ilrst base on threo called balls and counting only the first foul ball a strike appears to bo tho most plausible way to Increase tho batting and baso running, If It Is desired to make tho change for the 1917 season. Moran Still Hopes to Land Jimmy Lavender MANAGER MORAN, or the Phillies, was disappointed at not being able to mako a trado. Ho Attended the meeting for tho solo put pose of getting llttlo Jimmy Lavender, tho Cubs' spit-ball star, and Frank Bchulte, tho veteran outflolder of the Pirates, but the Phtlly pilot claims that both Mltcholl and Callahan wanted too much tho best of It, However, It Is likely that tho Lnvendor-Domuroo deal will go through beforo tho first of tho month, as Mitchell Intimated this morning that ho might change his mind after finding out Just where ho stanUs. "Mitch'' unja that he doesn't want to make any deals until ho has had time to look ovor the situation in Chicago. There Is no chnnco for Moran to get Bchulte, however, us Jimmy Callahan Insists upon the Phils turning ovor cither "Wbltted or Block, which , ta entirely out of tho question. "While Bchulte la a veteran. Moron behoves that he would be tho home run king of tho major leagues playing In tho smalt Phllly park and that la why ho tried to awing the deal. Dig League Magnates to Reduce Salaries THE! National League magnates as well as the American bavo taken the stand boldly that there must be a big reduction in the cost of baseball If the game U to be continued. There ure several method of making big reductions In the production of the national pastime, but the bignost, and the one which the owners ure going to play upon moat, la the cutting of the players' salaries. Of course, it would be sacrilege to trim the salary ot nny member of the National Commission. Ban Johnson, for example, gets only a measly $15,000 a j ear for acting in tho capacity of president of tho American league. When he travels bo does so at the expense of tho league except when he is acting as a member ot the commission, and then the reserve fund of tho commission sets a body blow. The clubs have to maintain a National Commission. Naturally, It could be main tained in no other way; but the commission's extravagance causes each club to 'pax far mora than. II sbould. A amaller percentage from the cluba might, capse JUessra, Herrmann, Tener and Johnson to take leaa expensive suites In the lielle-vue-Stratford and "WaWorf-Astorlw Still the mighty trio could Usue their man dates Just the same, and the game would not be hurt by a reduction in the expenses of the commission. Many Office Forces Are Too Large '-ANOTHbR gross extravagance in baseball is the maintenance of oiflce forces sTr-'r-T fl. Inat are lar too urge. courier expenses thousands of dollars if he would fatavlest club in the major leagues, and while Kbbet has a tight to spend his money as. be pleases, it would be a gross injustice if he storied on, his ball pltfv era' salaries first rather than on the men who are in the omce and have so little to do tfeat they are afflicted with ennui. Still another grvat waste is the scouting system as It is maintained at the 'lrwent time. Soroo scouting is necessary, of course,' but the fancy salaries, bonuses and big expense accounts that go to scouts are fur out of proportion to tt aetual good that these men do toward bettering the club for which they are Wirking. Scouts have a habit ot taking long trips into the South, to the Pao)tle coast and $t&r places remote from their own boll yards when there is little chance for them fk bind anything Yet they ere virtually given carte blanaho in1 the matter of U.0iii and spending money for expenses. 3b s wMUi ! to th t8Uuti JfeW to gttS ff U)f fe that players' jflalliT mm ton high, tla afgffHteJte'Ktla- W Uj weft " immt coucib, tor ciuijjjie, uouiu cut. aown his slice his clerloal help.
