Big Salaries in Baseball Will Go

CINCINNATI, July 25.—There will be a house cleaning in baseball next spring, if the game comes back then, but it may not be the kind of house cleaning that Ban Johnson prophesied. The present national commission may or may not be put in power again. There may be or may not be a new head to that commission there may be a new leader of the National league, and, dreadful thought, there may eren be a ijew leader of the American league. All these things are possible, but what is most probable of all is a reorganisation and, regrading of salaries.

gave up large Incomes cheerfully to serve the nation. Superfluous agents, extra financial managers, etc., will be lost to view. Baseball will simply start in again and will try to rebuild its shattered fortunes along sane and economic lines. This comes unofficially, but none the less correctly, through the office Of the national commission.

Agents of the Arizona copper league, which comprises the six Arizona cities of Bisbee, Prescott, Phoenix, Oakland, Jerome and Tombstone, are on their way east to grab big league players. Forty Pacific coast men have gone in with these six clubs, but the promoters want major leaguers, too. Their offer is blunt and direct.

Six dollars a day straight wagres to copper miners, and the ball players will have to earn the money, working eight honest hours a day $8 extra to ball players, with games Saturday and Sunday.

Ths jumps are mostly by automobile, and the population has g'one wild over the gamf.

ACCEPT VAILS ENTRY 6 IN BIG MOTOR DACE

Sweepstakes Stars Vote to Admit Young Driver Awaiting TJ. S, Call.

CHICAGO, Jttiy 25.—With th« addition of Ira Vail, the young Brooklyn speed demon, who is making his last appearance before joining the American aviation service, the field in the international sweepstakes at the Chicago speedway Sunday afternoon now numbers six of the greatest driver^. The speed pilots and the nations which they will represent are as follows:

Ira Vail, United States. Ralph Mulford, United States. Louis Chevrolet. France. Ralph de Palma, Italy. Arthur Duray, Belgium. Dario Resta, Great Britain. Vail fulfilled every qualification for the race by driving his Hudson supersix car two miles at a speed of 112 miles an hour, by posting his $2,000 entry fee and by getting the consent of the other drivers. This latter was ditficult, because the race is practically an invitation match contest where each driver is putting up $2,000 of his own money with the managfement adding $15,000.

The youngster, who has been the sensation of the speedways for the last two seasons, got in because iv will be his last chance to compete in a race before he dons the khaki of Uncle Sam. Immediately after the race, he will go to Wilbur Wright aviation field at Daytoh, O., where he will become one of Uncle Sam's flyers. As he has already had considerable experience as an aviator he expects to be seat to Europe very soon.

The $2,000 entry fee of Vail will be added to the first prize, making it $17,000. The second prize will be J5,000, the third $3,000, fourth $1,500 and the £Ut& $560. There will be no suth prize.

Tuning Up Cars.

All of the drivers are now at the speedway tuning up their cars for the contest, which is expected to shatter many records and also determine just who is the greatest driver under all circumstances.

For this purpose the race will be run in five heats at two, 10, 20, 30 and 50 miles. The winner in each heat will score six points second, five points third, four points fourth, three points fifth, two points sixth, one point. The driver scoring the greatest number of points in the five heats will be the winner.

Thomas J*. Hay will be the starter and John de Long will be the assistant starter, while E. G. Patterson will be referee and the chairman of the technical committee will be E. F. Edwards.

The advance sale of seats is breaking all records, especially the orders from out of town. The races will start nt 3 o'clock, promptly, in the afternoon, and will be over before 6 o'clock so that everyone will have a chance to get home at a reasonable hour.

Miss Detroit II is a hydroplane built by a Detroit millionaire, on plana decided on after half-a-dozen designs had been tried and found wanting.

It is not so long ago that a mile a minute was considered impossible for water craft, and it was not until the hydroplane type was invented that it was proved that this extreme speed was attainable.

GIANTS LAND LAJ0IE.

John McGraw has a strong twirling «',iff with the addition of Fred Toney, who is one of the best right handers in the league. The leader of the Giants should be grateful to Christy Mathewson for turning loose the best pitcher tho Reds have had in many years. McGraw has secured the services of Larry Lajoie.

H. H, Dronberger, Jr., of Terre Haute worked his way into the semi-finals when he defeated Frank Kissel 1 up and will meet Diddle today.

In the lower half of the bracket, Charles Fletcher will meet Hehman Hielken. Fletcher won from McNaughton, 6 to 4, while Sielk^n walloped Frank Williams, 10 to 9. The score of this match came as quite a surprise, everyone thinking that Williams wouAl play much better golf than he did. The Highland player was off his game and Sielken had no trouble whatever in winning.

Best Golf of Meet. T!ddel-Lennox match wa« by far the best match of the tournament and it brousrht out the best golf of the meet. Both men played especially fine golf in the morning round, not only in match play, but also in medal. They shot the best scores of the tourney. Diddel hooking a 76, while Lennox was one stroke higher. These are the only scores uuder SO made during the tournament.

Diddel played consistent golf in the morning, going out in 38 and returning in the same number Lennox shot a 37 on the out-nine, but came in in 40. Lennox bagged four 3s in succession on the first nine, making the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh in that number. WThen they made the turn they were all square and Diddel could not get the upper hand until the six teenth, when he sunk his third shot, while Lennox took & 4. They halved the seventeenth and Diddel won the eighteenth, making Diddel 2 up on the morning roundi

Woolen prices are breaking- atf records. And adding oil to the fire—good clothes are almost impossible to obtain, owing to the government's commandeering of the* mill looms. Men's clothes will soon double in price.

Sparks foresaw the appalling advance and bought early. These woolens we offer at prewar prices and the wise man will order not one, but two or three suits at once. Every day you delay means dollars out of your pocket

Sparks vouches for the quality of everv garment. We do not know what the woolen mills will furnish later on—-no doubt cheapened quality| JSo now—while you can be sure of clothesof high-grade and a saving of 50% or more in price—is the time to order. •. iif
