Experience Best Teacher They wcro warned of this years ago. but L..?ie"nt S6lLm that naBt experience is t aching anything In basketball, The Na tional League, the first professional organl ration, went- out of business when the U .1y,cirs T:"? Blvcn n11 the money and the ?VHU1 1,m,t ln ,ho National was 90 or i a .n.on,h' You couI(1 hardI' engago a good utility man for that amount today and one player was credited with drawing o0 per game or (400 a month. After tho demUc of the National League the New Midland grabbed all tho stars and It was only a matter of time when It kept company with the National League. Then followed the Connecticut and Central, Hudson River and New York State Leagues. All were wonderful as far as players wero concerned, but could not stand tho strain and col lapsed. Tho Idea of tho basketball player today Is the same as the baseball player to get nil he can ln the shortest space of time. You can't blame tho player If the manager Is foolish enough to pay him. Salaries Must lie Cut One player, perhaps tho most prominent In the city, admits there must bo some sort of reduction In the salaries of the players. A manager said: "This buslnesi of paying $200 a month to five men Is out of the question." Krank . Morgennce'.i. of tho Paterson Interstate League, whlla here last week also said as far as ho was concerned something would have to be done with the sport or he was through. And he also said at tho same time his best player was only a "kid," ttlng but $13 a game, while the stars were getting much more. The subject of men playing on several teams will also be thrashed out for the boast of a player recently that he was making $13", a week has set the managers o thinking.

Matt Hlnckcl. of Cleve land, was willing In fact, anxious to stage the contest, a fifteen-round setto to a referee's decision at Cedar Point, O , where Johnny Kllbane' defended his laurels against Geyjrgr- Chaney last Labor Day But It Is evident from the above Chicago statement that Mr. Wlllard would rather grab off easy money under the canvas than on the canvas against some ono who would endeavor to crush his Jaw. To say that Morris could dethrone Wll lard really Is out of- tho question: yet It would be tlmo for Jess to appear In a regu lar bout Instead of circus exhibitions, Mor ris was lucky to earn a foul victory, as It were, over Fulton. Although several New York critics say that Frederick's foul was deliberate, or looked as If It was deliberate, there Is no doubt that Fulton Is far superior to tho Oklahoma heay weight.
