“The measure now before Congress,
which would impose a tax of ten, per
centmon the gross receipts of baseball;

bud weather and the fact that thou-
saudu of fans will soon be culled into
military service, has the r'iub owners
greatly worried, " declared Mr. Hickey
“The lague has last no less than
$1,000 a day for the last ten days, and
certain club owners may: decided to
vote for a discouutlnuunce for the

enteen to fifteen or fourteen men and
the reduction of salaries, or 110111.1111
