ky JACK. KEENE

With the fate of big league baseball during the war still undecided the major league moguls are busy already figuring out how they can make up for the money they will lose because of war conditions. And what is the first move they plan? Cutting down the salaries of the players. This isn't a plea on behalf of the players. It Is printed merely to show the general spirit that has guided the magnates of late years. The minute their pocketbooks are hit they begin to yell and wiggle. The public or the players pay the freight, not the moguls. List to what Fred Mitchell, manager of the Cubs, has to say: Big league baseball will be run much less expensively after the war. New contracts will be drawn and ball players will be forced to play for smaller salaries than they now get. Baseball faces a tough proposition. People are finding other attractions to satisfy them, and if the teams play slow and indifferent ball from now to the finish it will be a hard blow to the game. Contracts which have two and three years to run probably will be void after Sept. 1. When these contracts are drawn ater the war men who have been receiving fabulous salaries probably will have to accept big cuts. When baseball had the players tied hand and foot by ironclad contracts that gave the magnate 100 percent control of the players there wasn't any howl. When the Federal league sprang up and the facts concerning ball players' salaries and contracts came to light the magnates wiggled in their highchairs and cried about the way they were being rimmed by the naughty players. The Federal league boosted the salaries of players. But that worried the magnates only until they could get together and decide to bost the price of seats and cut down the number of 25-centers. As soon as the Federal league wartime contracts of the players expired the magnates cut the stars' salaries but didn't cut the price of seats.
