One matter that is not being ro-
ceivod kindly by all ofithe Eastein
Association magnates is the one who
ing to the clause requiring the placing
of $1,250.}onc-hall’ of a month's sal-
ary.~to guarantee the payers their
money and stand behind the leagueln
case 01' a club's disbandmcnt in the
middle of the season. As has been
pointed out, the old ul‘mngelllent of
filing a bond drawn up by some bond-
ing company is no‘ longer allowed
under the National Agrebmcnt. and
instead. the $1.2M), or its equivalent in
some bank. must be placed in the
hands of the president. Manager Zel~
ler. or Pittslleld. comes forth with
. the suggestion that possibly Secretary
Farrell will allow his league to follow
the Canadian league, and instead each
of the clubs place in the league treas-
ury 10 per cent. of the gross receipts
immediately after each game. Zeller
points out that this worked very nicely
in the Canadian League last year, and
admits that some of the teams paid in
as much as $1,800, while the lowest
was something like $800. Therein lies
the discrepancy. the difference which
the teams would pay into this fund.
Under this arrangement Mr. chler
says the league would soon have a
sinking fund of $10,000, and there are
others who like the scheme that point
out that the big cities should do some-
thing to carry along the league. it
would result in Hartford. New Haven
and Springfield paying in a consider-
able sum of money. while the other
five clubs’ shares would be very much
less. Needless to say this does not
appeal to the owners of the clubs in
the big cities. They prefer the posting
oi the $1,210 in cash or equivalent.
TINKER SOLD FOR BAT BAG.
Joe Tinker. the first big star of the
National League to sign a contract
with the Federal League was once sold
by the manager of an independent
team in Kansas City for a bat bag.
and Harry Wolverton. who managed
the Highlanders in 1052, didn't bring
much more in the early days of his
career on the diamond. A dive-dollar
hill once caused Wolverlon to change
uniforms.
it was out in Muskegee,.0kla., that
Harry started out to play professidnal
ball. John F. Mulligan, who was man-
aglng the team at Muskogee. wasn‘t
much impressed by Wolvertou's play-
ing at third and he gladly accepted
an offer of $5 from a man named Bob
Quinn. who was the leader of another
team at Muskogee.
Wolvorlon's rise was rapid and a
couple of years after the solo Harry
was playing with the Phillioa and
proving to be one of the best third
baseman in the National League.

Levlnsky began lighting in 1910 as

“and has been in 77 bottles since—-

tors Pittman and Biliingham conclud

bill, and Senate leaders were confident
it' would pass “by an overwhelming

The measure is in the first stages
of the debate in the House, where Dol-
egate Wothorshum, 0f Alaska, has or:
forcd a measure virtually the some
as the Chamberlain bill. Several
weeks may elapse before the House
acts,
The Chamberlain bill. as amended
in committee. would authorize the
president to construct about a thous-
and miles at railway at a cost not ‘to
exceed $35,000,000 to connect some
point on the Pacific coast of Alaska
with the interior of the territory. Full
discretion is left with the president to
select the route Vaudarrangc the dc!
tails or cellstructlon, Efforts to amend
the bill so as to include a government
steamship line from the terminal ol
the railroad to Pacific clmst ports, and
to. provide for government operation
of coal mines in Alaska wore rejected
by the committee, but were cxpecttd
to be renewed on the floor,
Virtually all opposition to the bill
was based on objection to government
ownership of railways.
it was expected that before the vot‘b
in the Senate a strenuous effort would
be made to amend the provision per-
mitting the prisident to louse 4the line
when constructed if, in his judgement,
better results could be obtained by
private operation under lease. Several
Senators have expressed the opinion
that if the, government was to go into
railway building it should also oper-
atethe line, that a fair list of govern-
ment ownership might be had.
