M. H. Sexton of Kock Island,
president f the National Associa

who is back from strenuous base
ball meetings at Buffalo and New
York, has seen to this.
At the meeting In Buffalo of the
minors, Mr. Sexton stressed the im
portance of owners! putting the lid
down on players who seemingly
cannot be satisfied. He proposed
that the bonus and the cut in on
sale price, be outlawed, and the
measures were adopted.
This was one feature of bis plan
for getting the little fellows back to
a safe and sane basis of operation.
Another called for a strict enforce
ment of the salary limits. He suc
ceeded in gaining the passage of a
rule making it incumbent upon
club officials to file twice monthly
with him, sworn affidavits of sal
aries paid to each player. These
will have to be In hi3 hands by the
5th and 20th of each month. They
are calculated to act as a check on
club owners who are wont to forget

spend money.

the situation up. "Anyone who
tries to evado the ruling, or who
seeks to circumvent it in any man

There should bo a limit to every
thing, and salaries will have one

reports. "At Buffalo the owners

tays. hveryone wants to be sure
of coming within the salary limit of
his league when the showdown is
demanded."
An effort will be made to secure
special railroad rates in 1922, as a
means of further reducing ex
penses. The club owners also
pledged themselves to observe econ
omy in any other way possible.

FORWARD PASS
IS CERTAIN TO
BE CONSIDERED
The forward pass in football is
certain to receive much consider
ation from the rule makers when
they meet to discuss the new angles
presented by the 1921 season.
Harvard has already come to the
front with a suggestion that the
forward pass be eliminated during
the final five minutes of play.
In all probability the defeat suf
fered by Harvard from Princeton
is the base of their contention.

of base stealing, however, was al
