Salaries and Admission Prices. “Oldtime ball plavers got at the most $2,400 a year; didn’t they play | just as well and just as hard as; modern $10,000 stars do?” inquires L. L. F. They did. But there is also this to consider in any return to the old $1,500 and $1,800 days. With the exception cf those few from the oldtime order who were able to branch out as man- agers, scouts or umpires, mdst of the players from the old 1egime concluded their careers between 32 and 38 with- out anything saved and with no other i profession to look forward to. A large number of these had a pretty tough time of it for the rest of | ilie distance. ball player’s career is different irol that of almost any other work- man. -At 35 he is finishea. His pro- fession is ended. The ten or the : fitteen years he has put into the game a valuable addition to his staff. Bill spent some odd vears in the major gue and understands baseball from A to Z. According to many ball players he should make good as an arbiter. Baseball '_in a Nutshell COLONIAL LEAGUE, Yesterday's Results. New Haven 2, Hartford 0; Hartford New Haven 1 (second game.)

NEW 4, TEN-CENT BALL FOR BALTIMORI: Baltimore, Md., Aug. 13.—Ten- cent baseball will be inaugurated at ! the Federal league patk here today. { Announcement - to © this effect was | inade by the management of the lo- | cal team yesterday Admission to the pavillion' hereafter ‘will be 25 "cent. and to the grand stand 50 cents. The Slow Ball, McTLoughlin has followed Juhnson'’s system and added a il to his speed. But when one has the speed of Johnson and McLoughlin it is hard to ! insert a change that will bring im- provement. When you can piteh so fast they can't.see it—and- when you can hit so hard they can't get it— stand-pat isn’t a bad policy. But it is just as well to get something that ad- vancing years can - handle, as the Walter “slow -495 | steel spring of Youth doesn't last for- 390 ever, + a .ball are of no aid for any future trade. And player getting only $1,500 or §1,800 a year with a family to look after can lay aside verv little. He thus comes to the prime of other profes- <ions with little saved and no training for another career. In any number of cases the athlete has been overpaid. iiut here are two sides to this question, the same as a plank. Now for Admissions, Yet if admissions are to be cut at the gate, salaries muct also be - cut. For with so many expensive parks huilt where millions are invested and ground rent is high, there is little chance to sut expenses here. A leading club owner has figured it out that to pay expenses today—just 10 break even—$2,500 must be taken in at each game. If baseball prices were reduced to a 25-cent average, as many demand, an average dalily attendance of 10,000 would be needed. And if the admis- sion was only 10 cents a head there would be no large part of 10,000 out te witness a second division club—or g club well out of the race—in the average town. Different Treatment. 1t is well enough to debate this mat- ter of cheaper admissions and lower salaries. Well enough to give them a trial. But it must also be remembered that baseball is different from any other amusement on the map, A show stands upon its own merit. S0 comes the movie appeal. But basebal] depends upon competi- tive appeal—upon the position a club holds in the race—upon the showing of the home team in its pennant re- | lations with other clubs. And as a rule, only a winner pays. And not aiways a winner—as witness the case of Connie Mack with one of the great- est machines ever known. Maxims of the 19th Hole.

Crucial series, It has been some time since that palpitating ‘and throbbing phrase “Crucial Series” has been given a play. But if one were tc look ahead for a pick the guess might not be far wrong to select that Boston-Pit{sburg meeting in Pittsburg on September 23, ¢4 ‘and 26. That, with the Brooklyn terfes on the same fleld three days be- Tore, The Wreck of the Big Three, T.ast season at this date Stallings’ Tig Three, Rudolph, Tyler and James, hud packed away 50 victories. At this writing for 1915 ihey have only yeached a combined total of 25, James has been useless. Rudolph has teen well below form. And so has Tyler. Yet in spite of this deficit of 25 games from his Main Guard, Stallings has managed to keep his clan in the race. Pat Ragon and Tom Hughes LIGHT Grantland Rice were the additions that helped save the day. Stallings was right that day in Mac on last March when he told us that he looked for as much help ‘rom Hughes as from any other man on his squad. MAXIMS SPLIT.
