IEASTERN LEAGUERS ' HAY CUT PAYROLL Players in This Circuit Likely to Get_ l_,ess Money New Haven, Jan. 6.—A ten per cent eut in the salaries of veterans and star players on Eastern league clubs will be made by a combined action of the magnates when 1923 contracts are mailed out in Mareh, according to well founded reports sizzling about the O'Nell eireuit. Dropping gate receipts of 1022 when hEh salaried stars failed to draw thé patronage expected is the reason for the economy move, Some of the clubs, it is said, will slice over even more than 10 per cent. While the matter has not been formally discussed by the elub own. €rs the general trend of the moguls is for lower salary lists in the com. ing eampaign. It is whispered abont that when the magnates here for the Judge Landis dinner late this month a special sesaslon will be programmed to thresh the matter out, The sentiment among the club owners for a reduction of salaries for the coming season occasions no sur-| prise owing to the lapse in attandance figtires last scason over 1921, The high-priced stars naturally are bound to suffer the most in the slashing. Some players were expected to be drawing all the way from 3600 monthly last season, while the average salary ranges from $300 to $500. A “common ordinary” rookie as a ruel gencrally is proffered a contract calling for $200 monthly when he ¢n- ters the league, with the veterans drawing higher stipends. There’s nothing attractive to the $200 stipends except that it gives a young and ambitious player a chance to make good. Less than $50 per week for playing ball seven days a week are pretty low figures as it appears that it will be up to the vet- erans and stars to bear the brunt of the “cut” if there is one. With reports from several cities that tae salary limit rule to have been flagrantly violated by several clubs it is hard to see the value of any rule on the regulation of salaries. If one rule is violated enother will suffer the same fate. It appears the best way out of the salary muddle is to abolish all rules. President Clark P. Lane, Jr., president of the DBridgeport baseball club sald yesterday on the report concerning a salary cut for players in t Eastern Jeague: “Naturally, the clubs will pay the players no move than they have to. 8o far as I know there will be no general compaign to reduce salaries and that they will run about the same as last season, the club salary limit (16 players, exclusive of man- ager), remaining at $4,500 per month.” When asked about reported infrac- tion of the rule concerning the salary limit last season Mr. Lane admitted that the matter had been taken up officially by the league, but the clubs | named when confronted by the | charges responded by furnishing | sworn afdvits that they had adhered |to the salary limit prescribed in the | league rules. | However, afdvits are not serious- |1y considered under all circumstances these days.
