Players’ Compensation Too High and Must Be Lower to Save the Game. baseball seems Attendance at The tuture for in doubt. erages. Meanwhile the advent of the Federal league forced the salaries of players to record figures. The time has arrived when owners candidly admit they won't be able to make both ends meet this year. The depression has hit the minor leagues the hardest. Players' salaries in the minors have nearly doubled, while the crowds have decreased in many instances almost 50 per cent. Cn price, which had been the best rev- of affairs has thrown the smaller leagues into a state of chaos. A large number of clubs in these leagues won't be able to finish the season un- Jess baseball times suddenly change for_the better. The Baitimore club in the Interna- tional league is illustrative of condi- tions in the minors. John Dunn gath- ered a strong club and led the Inter- national league. The team played fine ball, but it couldn't draw a corporal’s guard In_opposition to the Baltimore Federal league club. Dunn in des- peration sold some of his best players so that his club might finish the sea- son. Only last week President Ed Bar- row of the International league an- nounced that players’ salaries must be reduced if the game was to continue. A few days ago a baseball critic on the New York Evening World asked owners of big league clubs if they agreed with Barrow that salaries must be lowered, and in most cases the an- swers were in the affirmative. President Harry N. Hempstead of the Giants drew a very gloomy picture of conditions that now exist in profes. According to th Giants' owner the minor leagues ar up against it this year with rising sal- aries and falling attendance. Their present condition, in the opinion of Mr. Hempstead, is most pitiful. And better. President Hempstead said: “Generally speaking, the present salarfes cannot be met by gate re- ceipts. Many minor leagues have been badly injured by the tremendous rise in salaries.” Following are opinions from other President C. E. Thomas, _Chicago Nationals—I agree with President Barrow of the International . league that baseball salaries are too high and in fact I think they are out of all pro- portion to the amount. of service Ten- dered by ball players. President Joseph J. Lannin, Boston Americans—Many minor league clubs are unable to pay present high sal- aries. Some major league clubs will surely lose money this season owing to increased expenses and lack of public I am well pleased with con- ditions in Boston to date. Our atten- dance far exceeds last year, and am pleased to pay increased salaries while the public so liberally supports us. Amngust Herrmann, Chairman Na- tional Commission — Have not given the matter to which you refer the at- tention it deserves. After all, it is one for the club owners to determine and should be given careful thought be- fore any definite expressions are given out with reference thereto. President Barney Dreyfuss, Pitts- burgh Nationals—Do not feel it con- sistent to discuss in public the matt of salary arrangements between em. Ployes and employer. PRESENTED SECRETARY ROYLE A TOKEN. Plainfield Football Club Had a De- lightful Meeting. The committee and players of the above club met on Saturday evening last at the home of the president, James McNulty, where all partook of a bountiful supper, after which the even- ing was taken up by songs and speak- ing. Mr. Royle as secretary the ‘Eastern Connecticut Association Foot - ball league gave a brief outline of the business done at the league’s meeting the previous Saturday. At this time Mr. Alexander, on behalf of the com- mittee and players, presented Mr. Rovle as secretary and mapager of the Plainfield F. C.. with a set of beauti- ful gold cuft links, stickpin and tie- clasp as a token of their esteem and appreciation of his services since the club was formed. Mr. Royle in a few ‘well chosen remarks thanked them for their gift and appreciation, urginlg the players to make every effort by £00d clean football to hold the position they at present hold. After votes af thanks had been passed to all who had helped to make the affair so successful the meeting dispersed at a late hour. OBITUARY. John B. Smith. Hillsboro, N. H, Aug. 10.—John B.

Boss, Windham road, followed the usual course. The appl cation from Mr. Boss enclosed a blue print of the proposed sidewalk, leaving a grass plot between it and the street, similar to 4bat at the Natchaug school. ©On_account of the fact that the lines and grades on the street are to be Te- cast, the matter of accepting Mr. Boss application was laid on the table until such lines are established. A petition from John R. Pickett and three others for_a crosswalk on Sum- | mit and Bellevie streets was referred | to_the street committee with Ppower.

New York, Aug. 10—Developments in’ the financial world today were of a more cheerful character. The fort- nightly report of idle freight cars re- vealed a decrease of nearly 30,000, bringing down the number of unem- ployed cars to the smallest since April 1. The United States Steel corpora- tion's monthly report of unfilled_ton- nage showed an increase of 125,123 tons, the amount of business on haad at the first of the month being the largest for five months. Steady Proj ress was made toward clearing up the tangle among stock exchange houses and thelr customers caused by the closing of the market and the violent slump which preceded it. Unofficial prices of atocks quoted today were similar to those heard last week, in most instances approximating the fg- | ures which prevailed at the time busi- ness was suspended. In the monay market there was no important change. Banks as a result confined their op- erations to the satisfaction of mercan- demands. No money was offered on call in the open market, and tae | Gemand for accommodation of this description was reported as being Lght. A few call loans were made at the banks at six per cent. the ruling fgure at the close of last week. For a small amount of 90-day money seven per cent: was paid today. Offerings for fixed dates were small. Sentiment improved over the week end in the opn market for mercantile discounts ~rd paper was purchased more freely, aithoush the total was atill small. Long term paper was most in demand, with ix per cent. ruling for all dates. Although attempts were made to do business in the foreign exchange mar- ke, and some transactions were car- ried through the purchase of grain Dbills. there was still great difficulty realizing upon credits resulting from merchandiee exports. This was gen- ezally the case on the continent, and in some instances in London internu- ticnal bankers said little difficuity was ¢f credit for small amounts, although and grades on Godfrey street to Fran- cis street was adopted, pursuant to foreign banks were conserving their cesh resources and were unwilling to the report of the strest committee. The street committee was authorizeq by resolution to hold a hearing Sept. 7 on the establishment of lines and grades on Windham road between Park street and Quercus avenue, and also on Main street between Clark street and the tracks of the N. Y., N. H. and H. raflroad. The lines and grades on Church street between Lewiston avenue and Bollvia street were established pur- suant to the report of the committee and the land accepted as a public street. The American Thread company were given permission to connect their boarding house, 287 Main street, to the city water mains for the purpose of - installing two standpipes for fire protection. After the mayor had been author- ized to borrow the sum of $5,000 for current expenses he called the atten- tion of the board to the need of traf- fice rules for the city, stating that most other citles had such rules and in his ‘opinion it would be advisable for this city. After the reading of the bills, the meeting adjourned at 9.30. AUTO HIT POLE. Driver Said to Be from Lebanon— [ Hardly Knew What Was Happen- ing. A man whose name was said to be Ryan and his home Lebanon, had a narrow escape from serious injury Monday night at 10 o'clock when the touring car he was driving collided with the teiegraph pole on Main street opposite the Norwich trolley terminal. The car was coming down Main street when the driver turned out to pass Louls Arnold of this city in his machine and after narrowly missing bimg Swerved to the left across the E and hit tbe pole. One front wheel went up onto the sidewalk and the axie on the other side snapped off close to the wheel. Outside of a broken headlight the car suffered no other damage. Nelther the driver nor two small children in the car sustained any injury. - Quite & crowd gathered after the collision and it was at first thought that the driver had been rendered un- consclous, but It was socon sesn that his condition was due to too much advance large sums.

Federal Army to Leave Capital. ‘The reins of government, it i1s now believed, will be peacefully transferred to a constitutionalist government, while the foderal army of some 40,000 men will march out of the captai to a southern city, there to gwait devel- opments after offering their services to the new government in exchange for guarantees, If these latter are not forthcoming the federal army leaders insinuate that they will combat the new administration. To carry out the new plan Provi- sional President Carbajal will turn over the government to uardo Ttur- bide, the governor of the federal dis- trict. and the head of the gendar- merie. Gendarmerie Is Neutral The gendarmeria will be used as a | neutral force to patrol the capital during the interval of the departure | of the federal troops and the entrance ! of the constitutionalists, { Carbajal to Go to Vera Cruz. Provisional President Carbajal will g0 to Vera Cruz before the entry of the triumphant army, which is to be headed by General Alvaro Obregon, who is now near Tula with a force of 25,000 men. Members of the foreign diplomatiz corps here will go to General Obre- gon's headquarters today to discuss with the constitutionalist leaders plans for the protection of the city. Anxiety Over Zapata. Much anxiety has been feit here of late over the proximity of General Zapata and his army, but this was greatly relieved today by the an- nouncement that Felipe Contratas, a representative of Zapata, had arranged with Presylent Carbajal for an armis- tice. War Preparations Cease. Preparatidns for war had been car- ried forward on a lavge scale in the past few days, but they now have ceased. Three thousand rurales are ready to supplant the federal army as soon as it vacates the city, though serious disturbances now are not fear- ed. A manifesto to be issued by Presi- dent Carbajal will call upon the peoplé to maintain law and order and to sup- port the new government. As public opinion is largely with the new regime no trouble is expected. EXPRESS DISAPPROVAL OF “COLORED” NEWS REPORTS.
