They | mourned that departed brother, John Q. Public, the man with the 75-cent piece. Al Gardner, president of the Wi- chita Falis club, represented Texas league. “Capt” William Neal of the Louisville club presented the sorrows of the American associa- tion and R. J. Spiller of Atlanta, wept for the Southern association. The mourners advanced a num- ber of points. were: 1. Baseball salaries are too high. 2. The ball is too lively. 3. Baseball must do something, to restore interest in the game. 4. Competition getting harder and it now is neces- sary for baseball clubs to develop their own material. Anent salaries, Spiller told the “lodge” that a number of clubs are | paying out in salaries every louie they take in at the gate. “Capt.” Neal said conditions in the American association were as bad. Some class A clubs are paying as big as $1,000 per month, they said, and agreed this was prepos- terous. There are numerous sal- aries of $750 and $800 per month. | It was -the unanimous opinion that the winter meeting of the|— minor leagues will be almost as in- teresting as the next series between the Cincinnati Reds and the Chi- cago Cubs. ————— CAPS WINNING STREAK WITH HITTING CONTEST HELENA, Ark., Aug. 2—Norbert Luken, 16-year-old Helena, Ark, pitching sensation, won his fifth consecutive victory in the American Legion junior league here by turn- ing in a no-hit, no-run game.

'ALABAMA SEEKS GAME | WITH ARMY FOR 1931 TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Aug. 2.—A move has been launched by the alumni council of the University of Alabama to bring football teams of Alabama and the Army together onr the gridiron in 1931. The game probably would be played in New York. Negotiations for the game have been under way for some time, says Borden Burr, Pirmingham attorney and a mem- ber of the council. ‘\ Both teams have established im- pressive records in intersectiona’ | contests in recent years, and a con- ‘tcst would be another test of the strength of teams from the east |and south.
