~'$7,500, Most Paid to Any Shortstop the In_the Game. Boston, March 2.—Water Maranville, crack shortstop of the Na- tionals, who has been at odds with the club managenient over his salary for next season, notified President Haughton from his home in Spring- fleld last night that he had accepted the club’s terms. It is understood that he wili be paid about $§7,500, which is said to be more than is reckived by any other shortstop in the game.

The resolution was unaimously passed. ‘This was a matter of routine parlia- mentary procedure at the meeting, yet it is fraught with great posibilities in the future. The world knows what part the British, French, German and Russian lawn tennis players have taken in the war that has shaken the civilized world to its very foundations.

We have all heard it referred to as “sissy game” and only fit for the physically infirm, but that was in years gone by, before the great players had demonstrated the tremendous physical and nervous tax entailed. ‘Watson M.

E Rails were almost the only disap- pointing feature, their continued back- ‘wardness, aside from a moderate in- quiry for coalers and New York Cen- tral, being accompanied by January statements of earnings, some of which reflected the recent congested state of traffic.

New York, March 2—The Colum- bia University baseball team defeated the University of Pennsylvania five, 29 to 20, in an intercollegiate league game here tonight The Reasons Why. Mr. McGill may or may not be cor- rect about the decline of baseball It is a big subject, but he is right about the increased interest of the once baseball fans in other lines of outdoor sporting activity. Here are the reasons why: Golf, tennis, motoring. trap- shooting. £ It is a long story why the sport- loving American has turned to these spbrts from baseball. The modern young man takes up a sport that he can actually do. No longer is he to be “Take nothing for granted,” said John ‘McGraw before leaving for Mar- lin, Tex. “We had a powerful team in ‘September when he won 26 straight games and we will start off with prac- tically the same lineup in April, if ac- cidents do not happen.

The Giants will forget all about f ternity matters and so will the other teams. This means better playing and harder fighting for National les honors, so that if the Giants are to make a winning campaign they be all_the more appreciated by New York fans. I refuse to predict anything, but I feel sure of honest ef- forts on the part of my players. If the Giants measure up to form dis- played by them late last season they will have to be reckoned with. “Our pitchers were somewhat erratic at times last season and the team also suffercd from weak hitting, which kept us out of the world’s series. We,_have several new pitchers who may. pyove valuable, and with ZImmerman and Herzog in the field, together with Mc- Carty behind the bat, our batting may be greatly improved.

In some quarters, however, the be- lief persisted that the measure might be vetoed and ition c! ns prepared to ‘White House.- Although appro- priations earried in the bill are for the fiscal year beginning in July, the “bone dry” amendment would become ef- fective immediately upon the attach- ing of the president’s signature. the war scare United States Steel again led the en- tire list at an extreme advance of 2 1-2 to 108 7-8, attaining its best quotation in the last hour on steady accumulation of large individual lots.

For many years % | magnates grew prosperous as the turn- stiles clicked their sweet refrain; but the clicking hasn’t been so industrious during the past couple of years. Poli- tics in baseball brought charges and counter-charges; then came one scan- dal after another on world’s series tickets—the cry of commercialism, the continued wrangle between the mag- nates and the plavers, and the threat of the players to close up the ball parks. And some of the magnates still - wonder why the people do not take as much interest in baseball as of_yore. ¥ Money has done more harm to sport than any other single factor. Baseball is the only professional sport that has thrived for any great period of time. ‘The continued arguments in the public press over salaries never went well with the fans. Idols were knocked from their thrones and the fans began to stir themselves and loo' for other forms of amusements. It is impoesible for any sport to thrive unless there is team play all around—and there is anything but team play in the base- ball world now. So the baseball fan of yesterday is the tennis, golf, motoring or trap- shooting bug of today. Athletics are compulsory at nearly every school and college in America, and when the boy drifts out into the world he is more or less interested in one or more branches of sport as an actual participant. The day of the proxy sport has passed for the live-wire can. Let us look the thing right Square in the face. Increase in Other Sports. There were not more than 300 ten- nis clubs nor more than 50,000 tennis players ten vears ago; there are more than 800 tennis clubs and in the neighborhood of 500,000 racquet = ers. ' And they have about sxu,o&l?“ invested In the sport. There are near- ly 400 golf ciubs in America, a gain of over 100 per cent. in five years; and golfers have more than $50,000,000 in- vested in the sport.
