Allentown Starts Movement to Lower
Individual Salary Limit SSO Under
Last Year—Other Graham Cir
cuit News
Max Erdman, one of the (directors of
the Allentown team olf the Tri j State
3.«eaguo, has come forward with a prop
osition to make a Class D league out
of the Graham circuit with eight teams.
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.
It may or it may not hurt the game

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.
