| Text | Lessons can be learned constantly, and I am glad to see the problem of how to lower high salaries is being successfully solved. I do not wish to do myself too proud, but it is exactly as I said a year ago: the way to keep a market moderate, is to keep pace with the demand and furnish the supply. The reserve rule answers some excellent purposes, but it is not the legitimate manner of doing away with a difficulty. The advent of such men as Foutz, Carruthers, Mountjoy, Vinton, Emslie, Orr, Clarkson, Henry Moffet, Morris, McKean and the immense list of new talent is doing more towards protecting clubs and managers from extortion than any “close corporation” restrictions could ever do. There are but few clubs in the country who are not well provided with batteries and players, a nd their deficiencies will be easily supplied. There are, perhaps, a half dozen especial players who will obtain fancy prices, but the general run of salaries will not be an advance over the present year–probably the average will not be too high.
