NEWS OF THE SPORTING PLAYERS SALARIES ARE ABOUT UP TP THE LIMIT Financial Site of Baseball Promises to Be Important Factor This Season— Salaries Are Five to Seven Times Greater Than in Early Nineties New York, March B.—The financial side of baseball promises to 'be one of the most important factors of the pro fessional game during the coming sea son. Kecf.nt readjustments in the sport has confronted the magnates with problems which can only be answered at the expiration of the 1916 pennant races. Far from the least of these is the question of the player's Balarv. A large majority of the club owners in both major and minor league circuits are convinced that the limit has been reached in this direction and curtail ment is necessary. Just how and when, to put this economy into effect is a proposition over which there i 9 a wide varience of opinion. Manager Connio Mack, of the Phila delphia Athletics, has shown Spartin qualities iby pruning his former world's championship team iby sale aad re lease until ■Coombs, Bender, Plank and Collins are no longer Athletics and Baker's connection with the ehifo is uncertain. President Edward Barrow, of the International Lrcaijuc, has noti fied the various club owners in his cir cuit that reductions in players' sal aries were in order. Other league exe cutives and ckub owners favor similar moves but are deterred by long term contracts which cannot be violated. The move toward economy can be seen, however, in the unconditional release of players wherever possible. Not in mauy years has there been the number of unconditional jcleaues, recorded since the close of the ID 14 season. A prominent baseball official said recent.y that the average follower of tlie game did not realize the increased cost of the game due to the advance ment in players' salaries. Various angles in the business t*ide of the sport made it necessary, including the in creasing popularity of baseball, inde pendent opposition and the banding to gether ot the players themselves. Looking at it in a broad minded man ner, he said that there were conditions in the situation which warranted in creases 'but in many eases increases were out of proportion to the services rendered. It has been estimated that the aver age salary paid by ma.jor league clubs has been doubled in the last ten years. In the ease of a majority of the play ers the increase is less tliaji S7OO a year, i>at when the contracts of stars like Kddio Collins, Tris Speaker, Walt er Johnson, .lake Daubert and Sam Crawford are figured in. the general advance reaches a surprising amount. The salary limit of the National League was $2,400 fifteen years ago. To-day the salary of the mediocre player exceeds these figures and there is no limit for the stars. Baseball authorities who have studied the situation carefully, point out that under the conditions that pre vailed in the early nineties a star in field and outfield containing such play ers as Delehany, Lijoie, Cross, Fiiek and Thomas, could be secured for an annual outlay of approximately $17,- COO. To-day a similar combination would require a yearly expenditure of five to seven times that amount. Yet the gate receipts prove that attendance has not increased in anything like the same ratio. Eddie Collins' acquisition and contract is said to represent an outlay of more than SIOO,OOO during the next five years. A Chicago statist ician has figures that he will h-ave to draw well over a quarter million extra attendance to the White Sox park if he is to individually repay the invest ment.

The Pretzel Eaters took the contest in classy style by the com fortable margin of 207 pins. Spurred on by last year's defeat, the Keaos sesses the greatest voice. Caruso, the star ot the Metropolitan opera house, has succeeded C'ompanini, Tamago and , e Ki'szke. In the field of English Grand Opera, Joseph F. Shechaii still stands unrivaled. In a recent article on high C tenors, the American is placed at the head of the world's greatest artists with re -I'®®* t0 altitude. Sheehan never dodges a high C in a composer's score and in such operas as "II Trovatore" and "l'aust, he comes out with the high <. on several occasions, with such easo as to make ono marvel. In "William lellVI ell V he . l 'o'"es out with a fine high D, which is the highest note required of a tenor iu any grand opera role. Signor Tamago, in his prime, gave a robust D flat, and Caruso rises to a natural, but only with a lyric and not a robust tone. Jean de Reszke, did his best in reaching B natural iu robust style, and this may also be said to bo the limit of Caruso's best tenor note. Hie Grand Campanini, with all his art, struggled to hit A sharp, while prac tically of the Wagnerian tenors are sat isfied to take A natural. No living operatic tenor has the robust high 0 except Joseph Sheehan. Adv.* At the Orpheum Delightful Trixie Friganza, she of musical comedy fame, and one of tlio brightest lights in vaudeville, will ho the glittering star of the new vaude ville show that is to be uucovored at the Orpheum to-day. Miss Friganza is one of the highest salaried artists ap pearing in vaudeville, ranking with Kitty Gordon, Valeska Suratt, Irene Franklin and several others we have seen. And while Miss Friganza has been in Harrisburg before, it was al ways at the head of her musical com edy organization, and the prices soared head and shoulders over those in vogue at the Orpheum. So the opportunity to see Miss Friganza at popular prices will undoubtedly strike a popula'r note here not only with those who would see her for curiosity's sake, but also her many admirers. Miss Friganxa comes to the Orpheum direct from llammerstcin's theatre New York City, where she created quite a furore last week. Another inter esting attraction will be the local vaudeville appearance of Helen Grayee the popular stock actress, who has a great following in Harrisburg, Miss Grace will have the support of an ex cellent company in presenting a com edy surprise skit called "Bill 999," written by no less an artist, than Una Clayton, who presented her playlet, "IMilk," at the Orpheum some few weeks ago. Comfort and King, cele brated exponents of blackface comedy, will appear in their screamingly fuuiiy success called "The Divorcons." Other "big names will include Robyns, famous musician; Sammy Watson's Barnyard; vaudeville's best and most entertaining animal attraction; Weston and Clare", song, dance and patter artists; the three Escordos, gymnastic funsters. Adv* At the Colonial A musical comedy production of the first water, in fact its quite an im portant Keith headliner, is Tom Lin ton and his Jungle Girls, slated to ap pear at the Colonial during the first half of the week. The act is a blaze of song, dance, beauty and frolic and in itself will be worth several time# the price of admission at the Colonial. The act was secured for the Colonial because of the fact that the production is going South and they will play here to break a long jump. Special scenerv and interesting wardrobe make the act a pleasing "sight act," while the tal ent of the company makes it indeed en tertaining to the most fastidious. Other big names of this same show will in clude Marshall and "Crumby, monarchs of colored comedy; Soretti aud Antiou ette, European novelty gymnasts, and ■Grace Pomeroy, the dainty songstress. Adv.* At the Photoplay To-day Popular Kalem stars appear to-day at the Photoplay in a two-act drama, "The Secret Boom." Tom Moore and Marguerite Courtot, both popular stars, have the leading roles. "The Bed Blood of Courage," a two-reel Selig western, featuring Tom Santschi and Bessie Eyton. Selig's favorite in west ern dramas offers a treat in the line of sensations. A fierce fight occurs on a small foot bridge, in which the rod blood of courage wins. "Ain't It tho Truth?" Essanay comedy, completes the program' for the day. " Adv.* Victoria Theatre "The Accounting," the sixth Es sanay complete prize mystery play, pro duced in conjunction with "The La dies World," is a thrilling drama of love and international intrigue in which secret service officials of two nations fight a desperate battle for supremacy. This three-reel feature will be shown to-morrow. The sixth episodo of "Run away June," the great love serial by Randolph Chester, will be shown to day.—Adv. * At the Regent At the Regent to-day and to-morrow the famous society drama, "Aristoc racy," is being showen, in which Dan iel Frohman presents Tyrone Power. The scenes are exceedingly beautiful, vivid and full of interest. Another in teresting cast includes Augusta Ander son and Robert Nolan in a Biogra.;di film entitled, "Fate's Protecting Arm.'' Ad v.*
