This Is Necessary With the Veterans.
Recruits Are Told They Must Make
Good In Fast Company Before They
Can Demand a Lig Salary.
Signing a lot of major league ball
players is no sort of employment for
a man of sensitive feeling.
As there is no set scale of prices for
ball playing, every man tries to pull
down all there is in sight and is sure
to be on the offensive when doing
business with the magnates.
The mauager of a ball" team should
never be called upon to sign the man.
Is the claim made by several experts. '
This work is up to the president,
and it is his duty to get the" players
signed up along the lines mapped out
by the owners or board of directors. .;

willing to pay the men iU3eeotn4he

diplomacy on opening the correspond
ence, especially where new men-take
hold.
To the veteran players are sent let
ters asking for their lowest terms.
Recruit Must Make Good.
To the young player, partially tried
out, is sent a letter saying that the
club will see that he receives a sub
stantial salary if he makes good, inti
mating that up to the present he has
shown little to warrant a very large
stipend for his work.
The veteran seldom answers. The
young player, however, "generally drops
a line to say that he knows he will
make good and would like to receive
as large a salary as some in whose
class he believes himself to be.
Then it is up to the president to
send out the contracts for the player's
autograph. The young player is any
thing but satisfied with the stipend
mentioned, but soon returns the con
tract, signed and accompanied by a
note saying that he is much pleased
to be with the club and feels sure the
boys will do much better next season.
The president smiles. "I rather like
the tone of his letter, and I predict the
youngster will show something next
season if given a little more work,"
says he. "Sitting on the bench never
made a ballplayer, and. believe me,
there will be no shirking with me next
season."
Thus the youngster is signed up.
With the old player who has a few
good years left it is different. He is
more deliberate. He is interested in a
varice money, but whe"n Eli contract is
received by him and the old figures,
and princely figures at that, are named
there is no answer from him, and the
magnate Is left to do some heavy think
ing. Treat Veterans Well.
Now and then a new league is talked
of, and the old player smiles and stands
pat. ;--
The magnate writes another letter and
receives an answer something after"
this style: "There is no use in consider
ing the matter further. If you don't
care to give me the money I want sell
my release to some other club. I know
that there are several clubs that will
pay what I am asking of you." So it
goes.
Star players must be handled with
velvet gloves, and so the magnates
write more friendly letters to them. A
slight inducement may land a few of
the holdouts. It depends how the boys
are fixed and just how strong they are
with the press and public.
There is nothing lost by holding out,
as salaries do not begin until the open
ing of the regular season. The reserve
rule holds the player. No other club
will talk- business with him, and the
player, who refuses to go south with
the team to train is subject to a fine by
the national commission. ....
Al least one-third of the nr.rubcr of
old players will go south unsigned and
talk the matter over with the club of
ficers."' .- . .'. "

LAWYERS MAKE PLEA
FOR CHURCH
(Continued from Page 1.)
judgement of . death was passed, a
sacred ship was on its way from
Greece to Delos, and it was contrary
to law to execute an offender while
the ship remained away on its voy
age. Socrates was held prisoner then
for 30 days until the ship returned,
whereupon he took the fatal hem
lock and expired. Here we have re
ligious scruples suspending the ordi
nary operation of law.
Persecutions Were Futile.
"After the birth of Christ we have
another and different struggle be
tween the law as exemplified in mon
archy and Christianity. The persecu
tions of the christians under Nero and
Domition was a futile attempt to de
stroy a religious sentiment of feel
ing by impartial law, or edict Num
berless -christians were burned and
tortured but for every martyr there
were two converts. These attempts
to blot out the new religious sect were '
failures because the Roman emperor
could not see the relations between
the creature and the Maker were be
yond the province of man-made law.
''This conflict continues and spreads
throughout the continent and then
finds root in England. Constant and
repeated attempts to compel people
to worship as . the state prescribed
proved unavailing. Then came the
discovery of America. Religious dis
senters of all shades of religious con
viction and persuasion came tp the
new country to escape religious pros
ecution at home and to find a place
where they could worship according
to the dictates of their conscience. We
have several instances of intolerance
among these new colonies, but as a
rule they were left to themselves in
religious matters.
"After the English yoke was thrown
off, several of the colonies practiced
religious tyranny, Virginia was one.
There the people were compelled
against their will to support a creed
to which they could not subscribe.
Thomas Jefferson, the reformer, de
stroyed the injustice and made his
people religiously free.
"It is not strange with the record
of centuries of conflict behind them,
that the framers of our Constitution
incorporated a provision therein for
ever divorcing church and state in
this country and leaving everyone to
worship his God as he chose.. The
various' State constitutions followed
suit and today we find certain things
unlawful:
"1. The legislatures cannot effect
a union of church and state or estab
lish preference by law in favor of
any religious persuasion.
"2. No tax may be imposed to com
pel involuntary suport of religious in
struction. "3. No person can be compelled to
attend religious services.
"4. There shall be no restraints up
on the free exercise of religion ac
cording to the dictates of the con
science. "5. No restraints upon the express
sion of religious belief. An earnest
believer may. without interference,
use persuasion to bring others to his .
view3.
Hypocrites Are Scored.
. "No man in religious affairs is to
be subjected to the cencorship of the
state or any official. So long a3 the
Christian obeys the laws as laid down
on our statutes he' may remain su
preme in his religious exercises, de
votion and worship.
"There is one person the church
should guard against. He may ap
pear anywhere and at any time. His
name is hypocrite. The man of false
pretenses. The man who sings with
you and prays with you on the Sab
bath in order to gain, your confidence
only to abuse it during the rest of
the week. His profession of Chris
tianity is a ham and his heart" is as
black as night. He is a false token
to his neighbors; a Benedict Arnold,
to his country; and a Judas to Christ.
Cast these men from you and observe
the-moral teachings of the Prince of
Peace and you as Christians will -then
necessarily do your duty as citizens."
