He will either sign a Cincinnati contract at a reason- able figure or he will not play base- ‘ball in a major league.” “What does he ask?” I inquired. “He wi a contract for three years at $25,000 a year. There is no sane club that can pay that. I cer- tainly am not going to put that bur- den on the Reds. Moreover, I am not going to trade him to any club that even shows a willingness to pay that amount.” “The Giants would probably take him,” I suggested, “at those figures.” “Even so, I am not going to coll or trade him,” he said. “Roush will either play with the Reds or he will not play at all, and that 18 an end to that. I mean this sincerely. “What's more,” sald the President of the Reds and the former President of the National Commission, “I am doing it for the good of baseball. ‘There are holdouts all over the coun- try. The players seem to think that. we Gan pay any amount of money and continue to live. As you know, we can't. They don’t seem to realize the general depression that has fallen over the country, Any club that pays more than $12,000 or $15,000, even for a 6tar with drawing capacity, is risking the future of the game. “Do you realize,” went on Mr. Herrmann, and’ his tone was in- tensely sincere, “that up to 1912 there svasn't a club in this country with a salary list that aggregated more than $50,000 in a year? The Philadelphia Athletics, for instance, won their greatest honors with a club that cost $26,000 a year in salaries, “Now I hear that the Yanks and ithe Giants are engaging players at an aggregate cost of from $100,000 to $195,000 a year. Do you think the Cincinnati club or any other club out- side of New York could do that? Certainly not. And you must re- member the league must be sup- ported by more than two or three clubs. We may finish seventh or eighth, but without us to furnish the opposition the league could not exist, “No,” concluded Mr. Herrmann, “I am not going to pay Rousch any- thing like $25,000 a year and, more- cover, Lam not going to trade him to fany club that even expresses a will- ingness to pay such amount. And, I am working for the interest of base- ball, Baseball owners must take a firm stand—right now. “[ have been in quarter of a century and unless the check rein is drawn tight now we svon't have any major league ball. It may hurt our club, and the loss of a man like Rousch may hurt other clubs, but I sincerely have the inter- est of the game at heart.” So that's that. All the Rousch ru- mors we hereby declare officially flead. The Giants have issued a ukase to By Bozeman Bulger. NLESS baseball magnates stand baseball for a SCHANG AND MAYS START PRACTICE AT HOT SPRINGS. HOT SPRINGS, Feb. 22—The Yankee squad, here for the pre- liminary training before going to New Orleans, has been swelled to five members. The latest ar- rivals are Wally Schang, the star catcher of the American League champions, and Carl Mays, of submarine ball fame. MoNally, Devormer and Scott make up the quintet. Although Mays and Schang have not yet affixed their names to contracts, their appear- ance in camp and their willing- ness to begin training for the 1922 grind make it appear that the Yankee holdout situation is not as grave as it was thought to be a few days ago. The chief thing that ms to be troubling Mays is the now fa- mous barnstorming rule, which prohibits players on champion- ship teams from playing post son games. He says he lost a lot of money on account of this rule, and he wants the assurance, be fore signing his 1922 contract, that whether or not the Yankees are pennant winners next on he be allowed to gather in a few extra dollars by playing post season exhibition game a aoe ssecue the effect that Douglas and Barnes will be traded—obviously because | they have not signed their contracts. Barnes telegraphed yesterday that he would report and would go to the training camp, but he didn't say anything about signing. There was talk of Barnes and Douglas being traded to Brooklyn. | The browg of Charley Ebbets ruffled, “Listen,” he said, ‘I have had Douglas, as have four other clubs in| the league. I wouldn't give a good recruit for him. And almost the same thing goes for Barnes,” It had been reported that a propo- sition had been made by the Giants to trade Barnes and Douglas for Bur- leigh Grimes. hat's funny, pecially funny, since I Douglas on my payroll.” had | Col.

Up to the hour of departure nothing had been heard | from Carl Mays. “We'll trade him, and trade him in a minute for anything like an even| proposition that is presented to us in| the way of players," he said. What's more, we'll trade Ward or any other player who doesn't seem satisfied with the terms that we have offer According to the way the Yanks havo been signing players their: con- 3 aggregate more than same may be said of, No such salaries as that | Other the Giants. have ever existed in baseball. clubs say that they cannot be paid on a sound forced league asis, If other clubs are Pay such prices major eball cannot exist, It may be that old Garry Herrmann is right.

St Martins won only after a contest was replete with sensational plays by tno tally of 16 to 15. The Saints’ team has been playing on ‘Thursday evenings at Bushwick High School. The games at the school will continue every Thursday as well as the contests at Arcadia Hall on Sun- day, In the line-up of St. Martin are included Arthur Grady, Jimmy Doyle, Jack Stillwagon, Bob Bradshaw and Jack Bradshaw. The Kips Bay teams are still on the winning warpath. Probably no other team in the country can boast of a yecord a8 good as that of the Kips Bay Midgets, and if any discussion urose ag to the respective merits of the midget teams, the Kips Bay Midgets would doubtless stand out as the most formidable quintet in that division, The Midgets have conquered most of the contending midget combina- tions. In the last contest played inst the Welcor Hill Midgets the Kips Bay quintet won out by the score of 28 to 12. The Kips Bay team ajo conquered the Mount Vernon B, C. Midgets by the tally of 36 to 9. Although me records of the Majes: ics and the Seniors of the Kips Bay joys’ Club are very good, they cannot Le regurded as better than that of the Midgets. The Majesties recently won iwo games by defeating the’ Mount ‘Vernon Juniors and the Welcome Hall juniors. The Seniors also defeated the Welcome Hall Seniors and the Mount Vernon B, C. Seniors.

HE CAGE AERIAL,” The broadcasting amuteur is rap idly getting to the point where his first consideration in erecting a sta- tion fs the acrial. There is little use of pumping an aerial system full of energy if its construction has been fauity and the high resistance will not permit it to oscillate. The energy expended tn overcoming the resist- ance leaves very little energy for effective radiation It seems that after trying most of the easily con- structed systems the amateur Is adapting the cage aerial for best results. In this he is belng followed very closely by the commercial broad- casting stations. ‘The cuge lead-in with a flat top is very popular with amateurs, and the cage aerla} is more and more in eyi- dence every day. The question of space is one that tho cage aefial lenda itself to admirably. For 200- metre transmission a omge aerial four feet in diameter, consisting of six wires about sixty feet long and strung abont cighty feet high will give ideal results if used in conjunc- tion with a cage leaa-in, Another feature type of aerial desirable is its dura- bility during storms, as compared to the ordinary flat top, which, as we all know, is easily destroyed by fee and winds. The high centre of capacity from the electrical standpoint is one of the cage's greatest recommendations. The vertical section, that is the lead-in, gives the greatest radiation, and when used with the cage aerial approximately 100 feet in height gives the best results obtainable for short-wave work in confined space. aerial depends its efficiency. The cage aerial and lead-in current distribution is equal throughout the entire system, thereby reducing the resistance and increasing the radiat- ing properties.

J ‘Thomas Hall, Brooklyn—Can I tm~- prove my range by placing a 4 jaf variable condenser in my ground elr- cuit? Answer—To increase the wave length range of the circuit connect the condenser across the primary. If you place it in the ground clreuit you will decrease your range, if anything. W. W. W., Hackensack—Will a loose coupler and two honeycomb coils used in the place of variometers be jas efficient as the standard honey- coll set? Answer—With a small con- denser shunting the secondary of the coupler and the grid coil, this set will give just as good results as the stand- jard honeycomb coil sets, Al.

You had better look over all of your wirtng connections. Harry Tynan, New York City— What kind of a counterpoise shall I Jerect for the aerial 70 feet long? Can the counterpoise be laid on the ground or buried in it with better results than stringing it above the ground? Answer—A counterpoise consisting of about twenty wires should be spread fan-shaped beneath your aerial and the area adjacent for the best results, If possible it should be arranged about four feet above the ground. It can be buried in the ground, but te |no advantage.
