rAGE SIX DAILY CAPITAL JOTJBNAL, SALEM, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 191. II IS GOLDEN AGE Some Players Who Are Tar Prom Being Eton Are Getting Remarkably Big Salaries This Season. PLAYERS, PUBLIC AND PRESS RESPONSIBLE FOR SITUATION. Suggestion Is Made that Public May Get Idea Reduction In Price of Ad mission 1 Possible. BY HAL SHERIDAN. (Written for the United Press.) New York, March 19. Now comes the swing into the stretch for the winter league. With the first games of the regular season lens than a month awny. box scores, hits, errors and cries of "bone-head" and other appellations dear to the heart of the American, but now demonstrated as thoroughly beyond the grasp of tho English, will take the place of large gobbs of conversation. This Is the golden ago for the ball players. With the Federal league kick ing in and exhibiting young mints to player In return for their consideration of contract, salaries have scaled to heights that would make bank presi dents, cabinet officers and corporation heads stagger a bit. The (36,000 wad to be presented to Tris Speaker for two years' work tops the heap, and or ganized baseball has gone down in its pockets to the extent of many morq thousands in increased salaries. President Ebbets of Brooklyn, is suid to have signed Dick Egan at $17,001 for throe years. And Egan is not a star by a mile. A ,250 batter at boat and nothing flashy as an infiolder, the former Cincinnati Red will receive moro money than Brooklyn than he evor re eeived before. In the wild scramble to prevent the Federals from signing men, false values have been sot up, Tho stove league sossion just closing, one of the wildest in history, is not a flash in the pan. Whether the Fodornl organization bocomos a real third major league or expires, tho seed for tho re jiggoring of many angles to the national pastime has been planted. Whether the Feds become a real major league this yenr or the noxt, or some other league assumes this proud position doesn't matter in tho broad sense of thingH, but there will bo a third major league. Organized baseball believes that. Magnates liuve had a vague foul ing for sometime that tho way whs opening up for another big circuit. The sudden plunge tho Feds took head ed thorn off for tho time being. Who Is Responsible? In the search for somo one who might be held responsible for tho present posi tion of baseball, President Ebbets of Brookly, recently stepped forward with the declaration that the "Three P's ' had made the game what it in toilny. "Tho plnyers, tllo public and the proiis," was the way Ebbets awarded the honors. The players have reached a dir..v height. When the sun shines again and the cull comes old Mr. Public probably will be found in his accustomed place roasting, rooting and roaring as of yore, but in the new orders of things organized baseball will not be taking any chances. Tho lnvish expenditure of money in raising aulnrios wim caused by tho realization that the public would follow the star players and not the star magnates. Tho desire is for good baseball and not to sit by while club "Owners mid the swivel chair element Jilay politics and wash dirty linen, Politics Barred, President Tenor is going to run the National lelague. That idea may be riveted In your fedora, Htnrtlng with the elimination of Murphy the governor began backing tho league gunt into a -corner. When he said he would do all the talking for the league he meant it, and if you'll go to some quiet spot where tho chocs grow vou will find It entirely devoid of remarks made by club owuers evor since Tenor took office. This moans the banishment of politics and its immediate consequence arouMil of disgust on the part if Mr. Public. Tho changed politics within the league are in force right now, but the possibilities of further upheavals may aid in filling up padded cells if con iderod at too grwit length. HiiNchall valaricH won't be boosted forever. Somo day when some centerfiobler or shoit xtirp gets to drawing as much as the president of the I'nited States Mr. l'libllc may voice a word or two. There U nothing to conceal the fact that base mil is a business, one of the biggest in the country if not the biggest. The Federal league, acting a,s champions of the player, came across and hiked tbe ante skyward this winter. Now if some one starts a Federal league for the fans' there will be something stir ring. Old ball players here for the recent home coming of the Giants aud White Sox were wailing loudly over the fate which put them in their prima before the golden .age. Present day players wouldl not accept the salaries of Amos Uusie, Anson and others of the old crew as expense money. But as these words, phrases clauses and sen tences have sought to intimate, thero must be a limit. Public May Ask Reduction. Just how brakes are going to be pat on we wouldn't attempt to say, but it's a cinch that when baseball salaries get out of all proportion to other pro fessions or vocations the pendulum will begin to swing back. All leagues with the exception of the American, National and Federal now have a salary limit, and there' is also the possibility of the well-known public kicking througa with the suggestion that if such re muneration for ball player is possible under tho existing scale of admission to ball parks, why not lop off a quarter and change to "quarter basoballf " BALL PLAYERS' STATUES THEY ARE URGED BY SCULPTOR AS MEANS OF IMMORTALIZING MODERN SPORTS. CX1TXD MESS LIASXD WIB1. Cleveland, Ohio, March 19. Immor talization of modem sports to replace tho time-worn Greek discus thrower and Olympian champions of centuries past is tho object of Miss Anna Pfen nigor, Cleveland sculptress, who today was putting the finishing touches on o marble bust of Johnliy Kilbane, cham plon featherweight pugilist. She will seek to have the statue exhibited at the Panama-Pacific exposition. In the meantime she will extend her efforts to a series of baseball statues showing "Home Run" Baker, "Ty" Cobb, Walter Johnson and other dia mond stars who she believes should have a niche in the sculptural halls of the country. She also desires to model Jim Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian, who :s one of the best all-round athletes ever doveloped. "Why koep on copying the horoos of ancient athlotic history when there are more interesting subjects in the modorn field of sport t" said MiBs Pfonniger today in her little ivy-tovered Detroit avenue studio. "Athletes, ball-playois, prize-fighter's, living men of today are moro appreciated as models for sculp ture by tho general run of people than the so-called classic subjects. It is a good deal like rag time in music as compared with tho great classical com positions. Thero is a new interest in art all over the world. Tho present commercial, dollar-seeking ngo will le followed by ono upon which emphasis, wil be upon tho esthetic. We nro at the door of a new rciinaissanco."

This is the time of year when the voters should get their seeds from their faithful congressman. JABS AND JOLTS In London on a summer day There was a baseball game It was. a close and heated fray And thrilled the rooter's frame. A silence settled over all, Nor any sound was heard, The rooter watched the bounding bail, or spoke a single word. At last the seventh inning came And then the silence broke. The rooter rose and stretched his frame And to his neighbor spoke. Around the sacks the runners sped, The hits went iar and free. "Come, let us go," the rooter said, "And get a cup of tea." Under the careful training of Branch Rickey, the Browns hit their stride in the first game of the season. s The White Sox are divided Into two squads, but if Charlie Dooin wero to t:y that scheme the squads would have to play solitaire. Mr. Warner, the New York hatter who offered $701,000 for the Cubs, prol ably is a direct descendant of the fam ous Mad Hatter. Reports from London Indicate that 30,000 Englishmen turned out to watch the king while the Sox and Giants played baseball. It is said that the arena where John son and Moran will fight can seat 100, 000 persons. All that remains is to got the 100,000 persons. Organized baseball Is not the only trust in the world of sport. For in stance, there is Ralph De Palma, who has a monopoly on the Vanderbilt cup. It would not be exaggerating to say that the average Englishman was u deeply interested in the ball game ai the average American would Be in a game of cricket. The baseball scribe who claims he aw King George applauding vocifer ously is endowed with a vivid imagina tion. That follow could imagine Wil liam II. Taft turning a handspring. Wild Bill Donovan is president, man ager and leading pitcher of the Provi dence club. We presume that when ho has any time to kill he massages the bats and and takos tickets at tho gate.
