== THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, DECEMBER 13, | | NLY BIG SALARIES ARE T0 BE LOPPED Few Kicks Expected This Winter as Players Are Offered Terms. BY JOHN B. KELLER ITH few exceptions play- ers of the Washington club will not suffer big salary cuts though the major league moguls at their re- cent gathering in Chicago decided that base ball pay rolls must be trimmed. On his return from the meeting President Clark Griffith declared only those Nationals getting top- heavy wages will have their pay scaled down and that the run-of- the-mine player would not have his salary reduced “The resolution adopted by the Ch eago_meeting was aimed primarily a the heavily paid players in base ball Griffith explained. “There are some who are being paid all out of proportion 1o the service they give. For a time in base ball the owners were prone to value certain players too highly. Now, with the owners more reasonable in their valuations, some of the big boys of the game will have to take it—and like it ‘While the Nationals are a well paid Jot, there are but few of them in the top-heavy salary class. Most of the players are paid from $5,000 to $8,000 a year, and, according to Griffith, only those of this group who have failed to produce satisfactorily in & base ball way will fewl the ax. “The Washington club wants its play- ers satisfied with salaries, and it has endeavored to pay them fairly” said the Nationals' president. “There have been some disagreements over salaries in the past, of course, but those occur oh every club. And I'am glad to state thet in most instances of disagreements on the Washington club terms satisfac- tory to both player and club have been quickly made, “Few of the ball players need quake 1in their boots when the salary question comes up this Winter. They'll be paid fairly,” “insisted Grifith, “so kicks should be rare.” Grifith was asked: “How about raises for those players who had an excep- tional season? e‘fnmmm," he replied. “We were talk- ing about not cutting salaries.” RIFFITH considers the Hadley- Jones - Hayes - for - Reynolds-Kerr trade among the best he has made since coming to the Washington club. “I believe Reynolds will go much bet- ter for us than he did for the White Sox, and he certainly did some good playing for them,” is the way the Na- tionals’ boss views his deal. 3 olds is & natural hitter—and a - . too—and he can go and ‘em in the fleld with the befi of . It has been said he is a player ‘brittle’ type, one easily inca- ited by injury, but I don't think so. 1 think the way he tried to play for the White Sox was mainly respon- sible for keeping him out of action so often,” Grifith contended. “¥ou know, they had Carl slam-bang- his way around the bases, evidently 10 bave him intimidate op- infielders. That's old-style base doesn’t get & base runner very gays,” said the president. ““The modern felder knows how to pro- and still get his man. So than not the slam-banging runner rather than the fielder suf- of rough tactics. unnecessarily he'll stop getting hurt and keep himself in the game more."” S*T'M quite pleased with the American laague's action in returning to the two-umpire system,” the ‘Washington chief remarked. “For sev- eral years I had contended that three umpires wers too many for a game. 1t they were not getting in each cther's way they were passing the buck to the other fellow. The three-umpire sys- tem simply made poor and lazy um- Ppires out of good ones. “I belleve under the two-umpire sys- J ! 1931—PART FIVE Oakiori H}gh- VVFViva By the Associated Pr ILLIAMSBURG, Va., December 12.—Providing the first big up- set in a fast and bitterly con- tested game, the Oakton High Schoo! basket ball team. champions of Fairfax County and district A in the Virginia Literary and Athletic League tou ated Crad- dock gh School here to win the jonsiip of Virgini: today 1 league chai CAVALIER TOSSERS COK TO NAVY TILT Coach Asks Curtailment of Holidays to Prep for Opening Clash.

One day Grimes received a telegram from an official of the club announc- |ing that his contract had been for- | warded to him and he must sign at a | certain figure. Grimes didn’t think it was enough. Abruptly he received word from an official of the club, who | was not the manager, that he had been !t‘old “down the river again,” and this | time back to Pittsbu-gh. | Grimes went to Pittsburgh and made & gorgeous success. One of the men on the club didn't care for him. Then Grimes hurt his hand and Pittsburgh | heard that he would never be fit to | pitch again, So Grimes went to Bos- ton, where he couldn’t get under head- way, because the remainder of the team was of little help.
