SALARIES BALI
i ''i ‘ 1
■
NEW YORK. Feb. 17. — Following
the peace agreement between the
Federal league and organized baseball
it was stated by the big league mag
nates that baseball salaries and ex
penses would be revised downward
Flayers' salaries were to be reduced
and their contracts issued from yeat
to year in place of the long term
agreements in vogue during the con
flict between organized and indepen
dent interests.
It was pointed out that the major
ity Of the clubs could not meet ex
penses under the conditions existing
and that it would he necessary to cur
tail salaries, expenses, training trips
and in general bring to bear a mod
ern business efficiency system in order
that professional baseball might be
placed on a paying basis again. While
it is possible that the magnates may
be planning to inaugurate such a sys
tem there certainly Is no sign of such
a movement at the present time.
In the matter of preparing for the
1916 baseball season the magnates
both old and new appear to have taken
a leaf from the book of the promoters
of the proposed Willard-Moran bout,
and entered the field of frenzied fin
ance. In buying baseball club stock,
securing Federal league stars and
signing managers the sums spent sur
pass all previous records, and it will
require some very clever retrench
ment in the months to come if the
magnates expect to reach the finan
cial plane outlined only a few months
ago.
Five clubs in the National and Am
erican leagues alone have paid more
than $120,000 for the privilege of as
suming the top-heavy contracts of ten
of the Federal league stars, if cre
dence can lie placed in the sale fig
urea announced to the press. In ad
dition to paying large sums for the
acquirement of these players, the
pints are legally obligated to continue
the salaries agreed on between the
former Federal league magnates and
their star players, and these salaries
are known to be extremely high.
The average purchase price ol
these ten players is a trifle over $12,
000, and since it is certain that their
average yearly salary is at least $5.
000, the initial year’s outlay will lie
about $175,000. as can be seen from
the following list of players and their
|sale price:
ill. Kauff, National.$35,00(
\V. Rariden, National .10.00C
J F. Anderson, National.10.001
1, ee Magee, American. 25,00(

Ericksen, American. 5,00(
Thomas Seaton, National . . . 7.50(
J. Johnston, National .. 5,50(
E. Rousch, National. 0.501
The big money lias not been pair
exclusively for Federal league stars
for retiring baseball magnates bav<
sold their club stock for many times
what it cost them a few years ago
The sale of the Chicago Cubs, Boston
Braves, St. Louis Browns and the
New York Americans, brought close
to $2,000,000, which was more than
double what the previous owners paid
for these clubs. Now Manager George
T. Stallings, of the Boston Nationals,
has just closed a five year contract
with that club at an annual salary re
ported to be $20,000. Just where re
trenchment and economy come in is
not apparent, unless the magnates
plan to require the average big league
player to pay for the privilege of
playing on the team.

LATIN lERICfl:
S <
i
PANAMA, Feb, 17. Many govern- J
mental leaders In Latin \merlea frown J
on the work of the churches, and con <
tend that religion lends to immorality. <
<
according to a report submitted today t
lo the Congress on Religious Work. <
which is in session here, hv the Coin- ^
mission on Co-operation and 1’romo- ^
tlon of Unity. j
At the same time the commission *
reported that the great majority of j
the public men of the southern re-j 1
publics were full' alive to the urgent j
Importance of raising tbo moral char j
actcr and ideals of their fellow ciii- <
4
zerts and were willing lo lend their
aid to any movement which they tie
lievf'd would tend to that result.
"The great majority of government
al Raders in Latin America," savs the
report, "recognize the necessity and
importance of high moral character
in their people: unfortunately only a
minority believe that the desired
character can lie achieved by means
of the Christian religion. Not a few
stoutly contend that religion leads to
immorality. Evidence is not wanting
that co-operation will be given by
governments and officials to any
agency that demonstrated its desire
and ability to meet the physical, moral
and intellectual needs of the people.
1 Several governments are active in
j campaigns for sanitation, for better
housing of the industrial classes, and
I t'or the reception and assimilation of
immigrant people.”
The commission records striking ex
1 amples of governmental aid given to
j educational instructions conducted by
; missionar' societies, notably in Bo
livia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. The
j activities of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association, in particular, have
been given hearty support in various
Latin American republics. In pro
|mot!ng this co-operation and in fur
thering all efforts to improve moral
and religious conditions In Latin Am- !
erica the Pan-American Union in
Washington has taken a notable part,
says the report.

NO CHANGE TO BE MADE IN j
FOOTBALL RULES. j
From what can be gathered con- i;
I corning the views of the various men •:
1 who look after the revising of the •:
I football rules, it does not seem at all t;
i t
likely that any drastic changes will be :•
I made when these gridiron solons meet :■
on Februarj L’ti and 27 in New York J
city. That there may be a few minor ?
changes generally is conceded, but
the experience of the 1915 season lias
fairly well demonstrated that, taken
by and large, the rules as they now
! stand, are fairly satlsfatcory.

MANIFESTS COST LESS.
As a result of a recent order receiv- ;
'< ed at the Juneau customs house, in 1
the future all blanks used by the pub 1
lie and shippers when transacting ■
business with the custom house will .

'AGRANCY ORDINANCE UPHELD
