His additional proposals are that a sal ary limit of SI,OOO be fixed with an individual players limit of SIOO. The individual limit is reduced SSO a month over last season according to this plan which may cause a lot of dis satisfaction among the top notchers of last season who were not fortunate enougfh to go higher up ,in the baseball profession. Many of the stars were drafted but there are some men on all teams who got the limit anid! are on the reserve list for this year.

G. WALL, Agt. Harrisburg, Pa. Frank J. Rieker, Mgr. young players who are anxious to get a foothold on the baseball ladder. Re ducing the class of the league may have a tendency to cause the major league managers to overlook the Tri-State or ganization in placing players out on the optional agreement, or in the drafting of players at the close of the season. The change on the other hand may work out well and continue baseball in this circuit indefinitely without the annual winter talk of dissolution, sal ary limit, size of the circuit anil all of that. What the baseball solons do at the annual meeting in Philadelphia, February 15, will be watched with in terest. i Talk of the Federals entering Tren ; ton with a minor league club as a farm, | that club to be part of a New England | circuit is not taken very seriously in 1 Trenton. The following is from the I Trenton Evening "Times:'' | "So far as can be learned Federal League officials have not yet conferred I with any local promoters concerning j the invasion of Trenton, but it is likely I that nothing will be done along such | lines until all details are completed for I the new league. "Should Trenton be included on the new circuit it would be necessary to establish an entirely new plant. "Trenton fans might take kindly to a Federal League club if it was' of high calibre. However, a weak or ganization connected with the Federals would undoubtedly be ridiculed before it got well under way." President Baker, of the Philadelphia National League Club, came out from under cover yesterday and gave his 11ABEISBUHG STAR-INDEPENDENT, THURSDAY EVENINO. JANUARY 28. 1915. | views of the Federal league invading | a smaller circuit as follows: "I notice this morning," continued | the 1 "hilly president, "that Ward say* the Federal League is going to have two I minor leagues. That to my mind is an I admission of defeat in the courts, bc j cause they will be doing the identical I things themselves for which they at tacked organized baseball in the | courts.'' The York "Dispatch" seeks to show i the feeling in the Tri-State for a salary limit which in regard to Harrirtburg is : unfounded as the directors of the local | club have taken no action on a salary I limit. The statement follows: I "Harris'ourg also favors a similar j ($1,000) limit. At Lancaster .lack Deal looks like the big man this sea son, and he will get. into the game if the backers will stand by a limit of not ; more than $1 ,500, but believes tlia.' i $1,200 would be sufficient. Wilmington is not enthusiastic over the Tri-State game, but woull com' ] back iff the limit is not less than SI,OOO ior more than $1,200. Trenton will I come back at any limit less than $2.- I 000: while Reading favors SI,BOO lim i it. In the majority of the Tri-Stato j towns a general opinion prevails that a i low salary limit would prevent illegal I tactics."

SKATING STAR OWNS UP Illinois Amateur Champion Confesses to Flaying Professional Ball Chicago, Jan. 28.—i Harry Kaad, am ateur ice skating champion of Illinois, whose amateur etanding was challenged yesterday after his admission that he had played professional baseball, an nounced last night that he would not defend his title. He will not participate in the In ternational Skating Union champion ships at Cleveland January 29 and 30 and at Saranac. Lake, N. Y., February 2, 3 and 4. He said, however, that he would retain the trophies he has won as an amateur. According to the provisions of the International Skating l T nion code, Kaad did not sacrifice his amateur standing by playing with the Adrian club of the Southern Michigan League, but by the code of Central Amateur Athletic Un ion, it was said, Kaad had become a professional. Kaad, who was selected as one of the seven best amateurs in the United States to compete at Cleveland January 2!) and 30, and at Saranac Lake, N. Y., j February 2, 3 and 4, in the national ' championships, said that he played pro fessional baseball with the Adrian club of the Southern Michigan League last season. Investigation was started at Cleve land questioning the amateur standing of the Illinois champion. Tt was charged that Kaad was ineligible to compete for amateur skating honors, as he had played professional ball. KAVANAUGH IS WORRIED Decision in Injunction Suit May Make Him a Free Agent The impending crisis in the greatest baseball wr.r in history is being i watched by thousands of people j throughout the United States, but thero is no one in the player ranks to whom I the final decision will .liean more than to Marty Kavanaugh, the former York Tri-State League player. Kavanaugh has come out flat-footed with a state ment that under no conditions will he play for Hug'uey Jennings again in De- I troit. j Differences between Kavanaugh and bis manager led Kavanaugh to reach the decision. At present he is signed to a Detroit contract, which is bind ing but if organized baseball is de clared to be a trUßt and shorn of its bulwark — the national commission— Kavanaugh's contract will then be il i legal ami he may sign with whom he I pleases. Marty has been hoping that he would be traded or sold, but nothing j has been done in that direction. He ' states that lie has an offer from a big ! manufacturing concern in Philadelphia I to play independent ball next year, and ho is considering it. P. K. R. V. M. <3. A.
