NEW SALARY LIMIT
I AS POPULAR AMONG
MEMBERS AS "FLU"
Woohvorth Ideas Injected Into National League When
Managers Are Told They Must Keep Monthly
Payroll Doivn to $11,000 Slap at Giants
j -
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Sports lldttor KTenlnc rublle Ledger
ii New York, Jan. 1G
""JTATIOXAti LUAGUB magnates will finish on the right side of the ledger
i this year or linow the reason why. Unnecessary expenses have been
amputated and huge, upholstered, healthy salaries are a thing of the past.
J.A11 a baseball manager lias to do from now on Is to run Ills ball club on a
paltry $11,000 a month, ihlch Is as easy a s.itlsfvlnrf a J per cent thirst.
"" Woolworth Ideas havo been Introduced In our great national game, und they
will be as popular as the Spanish flu. That salury limit, which was adopted
"by the oto of C to 2, means quite a little to the National League. It puts
the. Xetv York Giants on the blink from the start and hands a terrible
slam to the Chicago Cubs. In fact, the spendthrift moguls will have to
put the rubber band back on the bankroll and deal entlrelj in chicken feed.
k At $11,000 a month, and season lasting five months and eight das,
I soma $58,000 will be squandered in a season. If a couplo of stars draw
I $10,000 each the other plaers will bo forced to labor at reduced prices,
J and ou know how anxious these gjvs aio when It comes to submitting
J to an amputation of the pay en elope. With u plajer limit of twenty-one,
it can easily be figured out that the average wage will be less than $2000.
J How many ball plavers can be signed at that figure outsido of tho Athletics
! and Brookln clubs? If the magnate.) stand pat pet haps something wi.l
bo accomplished In a year or so. If they icsort to the old army game
and make cash presents to the athletes, the game will bo worse, off than
ever befoie
At the meeting esterda, which lasted all da with no time off for
lunch, the bosses ran Into squalls from the start. It Is sild that Chicago
and New York formed the minority, but were voted down every tlmo they
JJ came to bat. The league even put over a $5000 fine for all violations of tho
J salary limit provided the guilty club is caught with tho good".
fllEOnCTlCALLY, the salaiy limit is a good thing, lut old base-
tall men tlouht if It ulll xcork: There arc too many loopholes,
such as Heart aurceinents and the llki, to attract tho ball players,
and It uiJ he only a short time before all of the clubs are working
in the dark.
imcrican League i'ot Lilicly to Accept Retrenchment
:'T
T'S all right for the National League to adopt a retrenchment policv,"
said an old baseball man todjv,
will listen to such a proposition. No set rules in regard to salary limits
J can be strictly adhered to In tho big leagues, and Kan Johnson's associates
know it. What chance would Detroit havo with Ty Cobb drawing his
2 enormous salarj? How would Cleveland fare with Tris Speaker and a
couple of others copping huge slices of coin" Could tha White Fo elst
, on $11,000 a month and pay big salaried to Kddle Collins, SchalU, Jucksun,
Weaver and a few others? Nothing to it. It can't be done, and see if
tho American League doesn't turn It down. It's all rUht to cut down e
2 penses, but it will take time to put through a real program. This sudden
4 stuff Is all wrong.'
Tho plajer limit a'.oo was taken up, but nothing dellmte was ac.com-
pllshed. Tho magnates want to use the least number of plujcrs possible,
n but tho number must conform with that of tho American League. In other
" wofds, the buck was passed to the Johnson circuit in the hope that eighteen
or twenty-one men will be decided upon. It will le much easier to divide
- that $G8,000 among eighteen players.
i- Another rule passed bv the same vote 0 to I was that no ball clubs
jean start spring training until March L'C. Tho plavers can lcavo for tho
I South or wherever they train befoie that date, but actual ti.ilnlng cannot
J begin until ono month before the season opens. This nlbo was a slap at
' Chicago and New Yoik, who have been in the habit of beating the gun bj
!i sending their pitchers ahead of the other plaveis.
'! ...
Jj 'Villi drastic legislation ulll cause considerable ttoublc in the old
I
leaaue before the season ends,
if baseball is in for a turbulent year. This Is to be deplored, be
cause the same is likely to be quite popular this ycat.
Io,Last-Minute Purchases of Star Players
" rTUIERE will bo no last-minute purchases of star plavers by clubs in
i position to win tho pennnnt, according to another piece of legislation
j adopted b the voto of 0 to - Trom now- on the citili winning the ehurn
i " plonshlp and participating in the world Eeilci w.ll hand to the league 50
ii per cent of its share of the receipts, lnste id of 1.5 t r cent. This puts
Jj another nick in tho bankroll and il a cinch no big prices will bo piid
ii for star plajcrs to aid in tho homestretch. This is a good move and will
" help conslderablj if the spirit Is followed bj tho magnates In regard to
" the plajers, there will bo no maximum or minimum sums announced in
! advance of the world series, but the old rerccntigo to tho winners and
" losers will be used. This should satisfy th plajers.
ii Nothing was done in regard to tho draft, but this probably will be
J' taken up at the Joint meeting todaj. The minor leagues are tirm for the
i abolition of this practice and threaten to strike oi something like that
Jj unless a favorable ruling Is made before 6 p. m. tomorrow. H4icer, the
'waiver law was amended by adding the non-recall clause which Is used
!t In the American League.
" Of course, the make-up of tho Natioml Commission was discussed,
,i and although nothing definite was done, it passed by a voto of ( to 2.
" Strange as it maj Feem, Garry Herrminn refused to withdraw his candidacy
ii as chairman and tho big scrap will be put on this afternoon at the Ulltmore.
-I
Ban Johnson wants Herrmann as chairman o' tho commission, but Uarrv's
li brother magnates will not have It that way. Th National League wants
!J either a one-man commission or a neutral person to act as chairman.
JVDG1! LA.XDIS, of Chicago, uaj, mentioned as the party of thr
third part, and perhaps he will be a.krd to leate his federal job
and mis icith the national game at a Mt7 ialary This, hoiccvcr.
xclll be aired fully today and tomorrow.
Russell Gardner May Buy St. Louis Carih
:ir
XT TVAS t umored that the Kt. Louis
Gardner, a brother of tho Governor of Missouri In fact, Mr. Gardner
i said lie made nn offer jesterdaj and it is under advisement. Jimmy
DIcOlll, owner of ths Irdlanapolls club, said he advised Ga.dner not to
"buy, but that had no effect on the rumor. The chances are th Cards
trill bo sold In the near futuie, if the purchaser has to go to St. I.oolo
''und grab the franchise off the autlon block a la Unc'.e Tom.
i The Braves were not sold, but It was announced thej would not train
.'at Miami this spring. No spot has been announced as jet, but it is said
ii that Macon would be selected. The Red So will get In shapo in Tampa
! -which Is across tho bay from St. Petersburg, where the Giants probably
" ivlll work out.
" Until the National League magnates announced the big stuff tho
"meeting was dull and uninteresting. Over at tha Ulltmore, Han Johnson
it failed to put In an appearance and the stuff was off. The moguls nan-
!' dared around the lobby for a ttmo and hiked to the Waldorf to get some
jijcandal.
M
j fHE only scandal they picked up iias u rumor tliat somebody
!i ' had been double-crossed In thc sale of the Olants, anef the
! original purchasers icho were left in the cold intended to sue atone-
Ii ham, Judge McQuade and JIcGraic. That's all there is; there isn't
JJ any more.
jj May Have Memorial to Eddie Grant
'' TOHN J- McGUAW. vice president and manager of tho New Tork Giants,
"' J wanta tho National League to stand behind a memorial to Captain Ed-aj-ward
I Grant, better kno-svn to baseball as "Harvard Eddie" Grant, who
''wade the supremo sacrifice in l'rance.
fi McGraw would like to serve as chairman of a committee of three, inas
'Jmuch as ho was the last manager under whom Captain Grant played pro
j'feealonnl baseball. McGraw suggests that B11I Murray, manager of the
'!phlllls when Captain Grant played with that team, and John A. Ileydlcr
'round out the committee.
MIO BETTER suggestion could
" erect a memorial to a man
"r' game and who as a soldier was
"but I doubt If the American League
and fiom an outsider it looki as
club was about to bo sold to Itussell
be made. Baseball xiould do uell to
who as a player was a credit to th
a creatt to ms country.

At last Mldvale feteel has won a game
In the American Basketball League and
alreadj the wise ones are conceding the
becond-half (lag to that club It de
feated J. & J Dobsou last evening In the
first game of the second series, and for
a while It appeared as If the leeord low
score for the Feason would be hung up
The winners took the floor with Doc
V'liman. Kid Dark, Horse Haggcro1.
Wllllti McCarter and Kerr, the latter the
manager. Lou Sugnrin.ui was also to
have p'ajed, but he failed to show up.
Pobson put up a g line resistance, and
the 28-1H total falls to do tho losrs Jus
tlee, as with n little luck In their shots
In the first half the figures would have

OLD AGE IS NO BARRIER
IN GOLF, WRITES EVANS
Those Who Take Up Game
Past Thirty Usually Are
Very Steady and Sure
CITES SEVERAL CASES
By CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS
I AM In receipt of a letter from a man
of sixty, who feels that I have not
paid cnouRh attention to men of his
j ears In my department. Trobably his
point Is well taken and, therefore, I
shall dedicate, this nrtlcle, and perhaps
one or two to follow a bit later, to the
man who Is past his zenith in on ath
letic sense.
T .Vtmitil Itla in nllnla tra frnm
a plajer who knows Infinitely more than I quoted nbovc, aro borno out by my ob
I shall ever know about tho posslblll- , servatlon. I know the case of a friend
ties of a maturo man taking up golf of mine taking up golf for health and
and becoming a scratch plajer. J. II. recreation nt tho ago of 48 two jeara
Tajlor. whom wo nil hope to see on this ' later set a reeord for his club, and It
sldo of the water this summer, has had
years of professional experience In
tenchlng golf to oldsters (as ho calls
them) and this Is what he sajs:
1 There Is no reason why any man,
who after the first blush of jouth Is
past, inaj- not become In tlmo a good
golfer. The championships, of course,
are notl Ikely to bo within his com
pass, but tho same may bo virtually
said all around, for championships can
only fill to a few of the very best per
formers. Should Hold His Own
1 "Given, however, good health, good
eyesight and the determination to see j
tho matter through, there Is no reason
nt all why the average man should
be cnpablo of holding his own with Ills
friends
"When a man has reached thlttj -five
or forty jcars of age his Inclination is
In the direction of n steady game, a
style of gamo at which I am confident
he may do well. He will not bo Inclined
to strive after effects or to "play to
tho gallery." ss not Infrequently hap-
pens to tho jounger generation of
golfers
"There Is, cf coure. an advantage in
learning the , ame when voung but .Jet
there Is no reason to despair of getting
well up in the lists, even It a man has
found It Impossible to handlo tho clubs,

ne example
In proof of,m rtntement I may In-
stance Mr Hutfhlngs of Iloljoke. for
example. Mr. Hutchlncs did not com-
menco plajlng golf until lato In his
life At the age of 53 he is not onlj
capable of holding his own In excellent
company but of actually becoming tho
winner of the amateur championship
A goner wno naH raiten up mo past-
time somewhat late In life Is general
I stcadj nnd sure. Ho wins his matches
bj the mistakes' of his opponents, and
provided he devoted his attention to
the cultivation of the stcadj game- he
should do well"
