NATIONAL LEAGUE
CUTS SALARIES
OF PLAYERS
Minors Demand Relief From
Present Draft Rule and
Equal Representation
By Associated Press
i New York, Jan, 16, —Proposed
changes In the national commission
and In the rules governing the world
series, and the demands made by the
minor leagues comprised the moat
important business at the joint ses
sion here to-day of the .American
and National Baseball Leagues, It
had been proposed to have a one
man national commission, or, if that
proposition failed of sufficient sup
port, Its backers asked for a neutral
chairman If the three-man commis
sion was continued.
Changes In the rules governing
the world's series suggested by the
National League would Include
placing the players on a percentage
basis as far as the money awards are
concerned? dividing a portion of the
players' pool among the players of
the four loading clubs as was done
last year, and the organization de
cided that the club participating
should turn back to the league treas
ury 50 per cent, pt Its share of the
gate receipts instead of 35 per cent.,
as In the past.
The demands drawn up by the
National Association of Professional
-Baseball Clubs, which by some wero
termed revolutionary, were submit
ted to the major leagues after their
Joint session convened. The principal
demand was for relief from the pres
ent draft rule, the formation of a
new governing board on which the
major leagues and the minors shall
have equal representation. The mi
nors ask that the major leagues be
limited to taking one player from
each of the Class A A clubs, between
November 1 and 10 each year and
that the price be set at $7,600. The
present draft rate Is $2,500 for
Class AA players.
No majpr league official would dis.
cuss the demands of the minors,
which the officials of the smaller
leagues decided must be answered
by fi o'clock to-morrow evening.
Among the many baseball men the
radical action of the National League
In limiting each club's payroll for
the coming season to SII,OOO a
month continued to be a topic of
great Interest. It was pointed out
that this limits the payrolls for the
season to approximately $57,000 and
means a reduction In some cases of
more than $40,000 from the figures
reached by clubs in recent years.
Cigaret Starts a Blaze

It was one of the strange turns of
baseball fato that led to the election
of Dave Fults as president of the
International League, fo-r In that of
fice Fults succeeds the man who for
merly was „hla most bitter enemy,
John H. Farrell. When Fults was at
the head of the Plafyers' Fraternity
ho was contlnuallyat odds with Far
rell, who, as secretary of the Na
tonal Association of Minor Leagues,
refused even to answer FUlts's let
ters. Fulls adds a flew and differ
ent chapter to a long and varied sport
career in being elected to the presi
dency of a league. In lis! days at
Brown University ,of which Institu
tion lie Is a graduate, he starred at
both football and baseball, captain
ing his teams in his Junior and sen
ior years. He took up professional
baseball and football at the end of
his college career and played on the
Baltimore National League team In
1898. He played the outfield with
Milwaukee in 1900, the first year of
the American League, and went to
Philadelphia with Connie Mack In
1901. He was one of the stars of
Mack's first championship Athletlo
club In 1902. He agreed to Jump to
th.e Giants In 1903,. but cast his lot
with the all-star Yankee team with
which fclark Griffith Invaded New
York In that year. He quit when
he and "Kid" Elberfeld bumped,
knocking both unconscious. Fultz
Is as famous In football as in base

fine referee.
CARPENTIF.R SIGNED TO BOX
Paris, Jan. 16.—The prefect of po

been Issued Tor a boxing contest be
tween Georges Carpentler and "Dick"
Smith at the Velodrome during the
Easter holidays.
J. McGraw, ofner of the
Giants, is not worried about his catch
ing outfltsince he got Earl Smith
from Rochester. A critic says: "The
formation of the catching staff has
been McGraw's greatest concern in
the reassembling of ills aggregation,
Jiut the acquisition of Smith relieces
all apprehension. Smith performed
brilliantly with Rochester last year.
Not only did he finish the campaign
with a batting average of .358, but
won the unique distinction of being
one of the few catchers In the min
ors who are fast afoot. Smith Is said
to be as fleet as "Pep" Y'oung. for
merly his teammate on the Roches
ter club, and a speech- catcher will
Ibe somewhat of a 'novelty In New
| York, where the heavy-footed Mc-
Cartys and Hannahs' and Rarldens
have held forth In the past. De

former, schooled thoroughly in all
the artifices of inside play. McGraw
has accomplished a ten-strike in his
acquisition.

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
I wonder if some of the difficulties ;
set forth In a letter I have Just re
ceived do not exist In a great many
homes where the factors .of second
marriage and stepchildren have com
plicated the household situation.
And I wonder how many women.
In such cases, have the courage to
hold for years to their own view of
duty and responsibility, as my cor
respondent has done, whatever It
may cost them—and It has cost her
a good deal.
If your second husband, naturally
preferring the young children of
whom you and he were the parents,
came to dislike and even persecute
your own older daughter, the child
of your first marriage, and even
made her banishment from the home
the price of your domestic happiness
—what would you do, O conscienti
ous and tender hearted woman read
er?"
I will let her tell her own story.
"About fourteen years ago I was
left a widow with a child of four.
I wtse able to work, but my employ
er promised to be a father to my lit
tle girl, and so I married him. I now
have two other children, aged nine
and four. '
"Five years ago my husband lost
all he had by gambling. The bread
box was empty. We opened a store
In which my thirteen-year-old daugh
ter, mv husband and myself worked
dav and night. As we prospered in
this business my husband made my
daughter give up day school and
tried to prevent her going to night
school. 'He would allow her no
amusement. Many a time he threaten- j
ed to strike her. Finally he told me
that either she must go out of the
house or he would.
"llow could I get a sixteen-year
old girl, unable to take care of her
self, leave home, even If she were
not mv child? Many people have told
me that I should have let her go,
since he cannot understand her. But
I am sure Miss Fairfax you will not
think so.
"Now my husband ha been away
two years. My daughter Is in an ov
flee and I support the children, but
T am falling in health and they do
not receive proper care. I wait, hope
and prav. What shall I do?. Have I*
done right in letting my own child
stay with me?"
What Would You Do?
Frankly. I don't think even consi
entiouß women would agree about a
situation of this sort. Many. I am
I sure, would take the practical view
that the peace of the home must be
preserved at all hazards, and that if
a stepchild proved, however Inno
cently. to be the disturbing demerit,
that element must be removed. They
would advise the mother, In a spirit,
of compromise to make the best pro
vision possible for the unwanted
child so that the rest of the family
at least, could live In happiness and
sympathy.
Other women, holdisig the old
fashioned view that a woman owes
her husband absolute submission in
everything, will Insist that whatever
maternal agony she might suffer, a
wife must allow her husband to dic
tate the membership of the household
even if It involves sending a defence
less young girl out into the world
alone. "V ,
A mother can do no more than fol
low her own Idea of what is right,
wherever it may lead her. But I
find myself In especial sympathy with
this particular mother who for so
many years has stuck fast to her be
lief that a woman isn't Justified in
(abandoning lier only child.
Just think for a moment of tlie
pressure that must have been brought
to bear on her. Think what It meant
to resist, year after year the reiter
ated angry demands of a hußbana
who didn't want to tolerate another
man's child at his hearthstone—even
though the child was spending all
her energy to keep this hearthstone
warm. Think what It meant to face
the prospect of the husband's deser
tion and his withdrawal of support
for the children, and the disapproval
of friends and neighbors.
You may believe this woman was
totally wrong, but you must admit
she was a heroine. I vplsh I could
believe that there are many of U
who so thoroughly live up to our
convictions when the penalty to be
paid U 1 severe. And I don't know
any better fortune for a child than
to have a mother who takes mother
hood In this spirit.
I htlnk. of course, that the situa
tions tills courageous mother has de
scribed is an extreme one. Step-l
children may often be the cause of
misunderstanding, but rarely, I be
lieve, of such tragic results as this.
But for the very reason that it Is
extreme. I wish widows — yes, and
widowers —would study It and take
warning.
Warning te Widows.
A second marriage. If one has cnll
-1 dren la a far more Berioua affair than
one's first. One owes It to these chil
dren to make thoroughly sure that
they will have a happy place In the
new household. Little Injustices may
crop up, whatever precautions you
may take. But do remember that you
have no right to expose your children
to constant misunderstanding and
cruelty. ,
We all know U'a.t the vices of the
stepjnother, and Tt may be assumed,
of the stepfather, too. are prehistor
ic, The fair books contain no more
gruesome character than the cruel
stepmother. And t suppose every
young creature brought up on fairy
lore lias a* pretty clear Idea of the
unhappy lot of a stepchild.
But If there Is to be any Improve
ment In this world of ours, 1 think
It is time the cruel step-parent be
came extinct along with the egress
of the Bluebeards.
Everybody believes, or says he be
lieves.that grown peopleeshould be kind
to children. But step parents seem to
think {hat this applies only to one's
own children. That Is, the step par
ents of the fairy story—and tile di
vorce courts. For there really are
other types than this.
There Isn't any reason In the na
ture of things, why a mixed house
hold shouldn t bo a harmonious one.
Large families are usually happier
than small ones. Comradeship needn't
be ceased because one or more of the
children happen to be a half-orphan.
And. as a matter of fact, X know of
families of this sort, where {he ut
most good fellowship prevails. Where
'the children are .never Jealous of each
other and the step-parents never un
just. It Isn't superhuman. It can be
done. Human beings really are a
little more generous and reasonable
than they were In the age of ogres.
Incidentally, I should like to. assure
the correspondent whose letter set
me to thinking about step children,
that she Is entitled to support for her
young children, and that she ought
to-claim this money from the hus
band who has deserted her. I would
suggest that she apply to the Legal
Aid Society.
Work of the Engineers in
War Zone Told by Lad
Who Served in France
Now that the censor has raised the
lid on news contained In soldiers' let
ters. many Interesting details of their
lives and accomplishments overseas,
are coming to light. Some of the
liufce tasks completed by the engi
neers, after so quickly that the
French and English army officers
were amazed, are among those things
being learned about 1 nthis country.
I-larrlsburg boys have taken a large
part In these notable achievements.
R. C. Byers, Second Battalion. Com
pany F, Twenty-third Engineers, now
stationed at Aix la Bains, France,
took part In the record-breaking con
struction of a railroad bridge across
the Soire river. The structure was
about 8,000 feet long, and was the
largest single Job done by any one
company of engineers. Byers saw
lots of action, following the artillery
after all Its advances, repairing roads
with shells falling all around, and
often m'ovlng their camp once a week
to keep up with the advance.
in a letter written to his father, A.
H. Byers. 1836 Regtna street, Byers
describes the builaing of the br.age
as follows:
"Ue built a railroad bridge across
the Scire river, the whole structure
being about BJIOU feet long. It was
the largest single Job done by any
pne company of engineers. There
wasn't a thing started on the job
when we arrived last April. The
first thing we did was to put in a
fill about 2,000 yurtis long, 1,000 yards
of it being twenty feet nigh, and the
rest varytgn from . three to fifteen
feet.
"Our Implements at first were th<
wheelbarrow and shovel. Then we
got dump cars and a small "dinky"
engine eapture.d from the Germun3,
which was more trouble than it was
worth. It would blow out a soft plug
in the boiler und then we fellows had
to pull and push those heavy dump
cars up a steep grade onto the fill.
It was with great rejoicing tliut We
sent "Bertha" away and got a new
"dinky" made by the Boldwln Loco
motive Works In the United States.
"We put down a track and ran It
out to where the bridge started. Got
a crane and pile driver and tho lat
ter drove piles for the piers as fast
as the crane hauled them up. As
soon as one pier was finished, we laid
track out to it and the pile drive
moved out and started to put In
another pier. Kept going like this
until we got across the river and
connected our trestle work with the
other engineers who started on the
other side and were building trestle
toward our side.
"After the piers were in. the steel
spans were placed. From then on it
didn't take long to complete It. The
French authorities said the wood
wouldn't hold out. Que the engineers
In charge told them that It would
hold for the duration o fthp war, and
that was all the Allies cared for
then. The French were also amazed
at our speed in putting up the bridge.
. "When the bridge was finished the
French railroad officials tested it out.
They got four of the largest type
Baldwin locomotives that are made.
They were run out to the middle of
the bridge and stopped. The officials
had an instrument there to determine
the sag and the weight of- the en
gines would cause. I never heard
Just what fraction the bridge sagged
but not any more than was allowed
for It. It stood the test fine and you
can Imagine how surprised the
French were because the bridge had
been built so rapidly and of wood at
that."
