THIS winter a largo number of the contracts expired and the. time was at hand
to cut' Into these fat yearly stipends. It was on unpleasant task, but it had
to be done. It was to be expected that tho plners would mako nn i.suo of tho
salary slashlnu. and then it was that Dave Fultz cut In with his strike talk.
, As a matter of fact, Fultz laid his plans carefully. He fully understood con
ditions and realized that thero would be a lot of dissatisfied ball players around
tho country when the contracts were sent out. Ho struck when the Iron' was hot;
It Is history, that, but tho magnates held the whlphand and won out.
Thus baseball has been through fire since 1914. First camo the "battle with
the Federal League and then the fight with the players, which was n natural

.evidence of the hold which it has on tho American public. The .storm Is over and
there appears to be clear sailing ahead for the gientest of nil sports. It Is to the
"Interests of all, magnates, players and fans, to put a shoulder to the wheel and

there Is no telling when anv of the tiio

many followeis of the Jewels alone will
make the rlelu to the scene of tho melee.
The feature of the week was the chopping
of two set-V.c bx cireystoi-k and the winning
of the same number by Trenton. The sign
ing of Dark by Jasper also was a subject
of comment.
De Nerl Is demonstrating Its ability, and

whole bunch and perhaps this will not cost
a penn It was lecently pointed out that
the Trenton naymll was 11200 a month, hut
the Jewels are now handing out More than
this amount, which only shows the expense
of conducting the sport. Theie are beeral
