their requents for higher wages met with more ready acquiescence If this season were to develop a number of expert pitchers a second season from now might find their requests for advancing salaries met with mors reluctance This situation as It la developing In salaries Is a marked Indication of ths fluctuation of the vary playing of the game as It lias ebbed and flowed from ths beginning of

Keyser dropped five field goals and two charity tosses Into the bucket The first half of the contest ended with Springfield on the heavy end of a 21 to 2 score hut the second half was a sad affair for the Gold and Blue team The passing game fell flat and practically the entire offensive system was useless the members of the five resorting tc long shots which failed to connect Bauer and Fry were
